Language Proficiency Assessment from Eye Movements in Naturalistic Passage Reading
Shachar Frenkel, Ido Falah, Omer Shubi +1
Standard language proficiency tests rely on linguistic tasks such as vocabulary, grammar and reading comprehension quizzes. An alternative, cognitively motivated approach, introduc…
Decoding Open-Ended Information Seeking Goals from Eye Movements in Reading
Cfir Avraham Hadar, Omer Shubi, Yoav Meiri +2
When reading, we often have specific information that interests us in a text. For example, you might be reading this paper because you are curious about LLMs for eye movements in r…
Déjà Vu? Decoding Repeated Reading from Eye Movements
Yoav Meiri, Omer Shubi, Cfir Avraham Hadar +2
Be it your favorite novel, a newswire article, a cooking recipe or an academic paper -- in many daily situations we read the same text more than once. In this work, we ask whether…
Eye Tracking Based Cognitive Evaluation of Automatic Readability Assessment Methods
Keren Gruteke Klein, Shachar Frenkel, Omer Shubi +1
Automatic methods for scoring text readability have been studied for over a century, and are widely used in research and in user-facing applications in many domains. Thus far, the…
The Effect of Surprisal on Reading Times in Information Seeking and Repeated Reading
Keren Gruteke Klein, Yoav Meiri, Omer Shubi +1
The effect of surprisal on processing difficulty has been a central topic of investigation in psycholinguistics. Here, we use eyetracking data to examine three language processing…
Fine-Grained Prediction of Reading Comprehension from Eye Movements
Omer Shubi, Yoav Meiri, Cfir Avraham Hadar +1
Can human reading comprehension be assessed from eye movements in reading? In this work, we address this longstanding question using large-scale eyetracking data over textual mater…
Decoding Reading Goals from Eye Movements
Omer Shubi, Cfir Avraham Hadar, Yevgeni Berzak
Readers can have different goals with respect to the text that they are reading. Can these goals be decoded from their eye movements over the text? In this work, we examine for the…
Predicting Text Readability from Scrolling Interactions
Sian Gooding, Yevgeni Berzak, Tony Mak +1
Judging the readability of text has many important applications, for instance when performing text simplification or when sourcing reading material for language learners. In this p…
Classifying Syntactic Errors in Learner Language
Leshem Choshen, Dmitry Nikolaev, Yevgeni Berzak +1
We present a method for classifying syntactic errors in learner language, namely errors whose correction alters the morphosyntactic structure of a sentence. The methodology builds…
Bridging Information-Seeking Human Gaze and Machine Reading Comprehension
Jonathan Malmaud, Roger Levy, Yevgeni Berzak
In this work, we analyze how human gaze during reading comprehension is conditioned on the given reading comprehension question, and whether this signal can be beneficial for machi…
STARC: Structured Annotations for Reading Comprehension
Yevgeni Berzak, Jonathan Malmaud, Roger Levy
We present STARC (Structured Annotations for Reading Comprehension), a new annotation framework for assessing reading comprehension with multiple choice questions. Our framework in…
Modeling Language Variation and Universals: A Survey on Typological Linguistics for Natural Language Processing
Edoardo Maria Ponti, Helen O'Horan, Yevgeni Berzak +5
Linguistic typology aims to capture structural and semantic variation across the world's languages. A large-scale typology could provide excellent guidance for multilingual Natural…
Assessing Language Proficiency from Eye Movements in Reading
Yevgeni Berzak, Boris Katz, Roger Levy
We present a novel approach for determining learners' second language proficiency which utilizes behavioral traces of eye movements during reading. Our approach provides stand-alon…
Predicting Native Language from Gaze
Yevgeni Berzak, Chie Nakamura, Suzanne Flynn +1
A fundamental question in language learning concerns the role of a speaker's first language in second language acquisition. We present a novel methodology for studying this questio…
Survey on the Use of Typological Information in Natural Language Processing
Helen O'Horan, Yevgeni Berzak, Ivan Vulić +2
In recent years linguistic typology, which classifies the world's languages according to their functional and structural properties, has been widely used to support multilingual NL…
Universal Dependencies for Learner English
Yevgeni Berzak, Jessica Kenney, Carolyn Spadine +5
We introduce the Treebank of Learner English (TLE), the first publicly available syntactic treebank for English as a Second Language (ESL). The TLE provides manually annotated POS…
Anchoring and Agreement in Syntactic Annotations
Yevgeni Berzak, Yan Huang, Andrei Barbu +2
We present a study on two key characteristics of human syntactic annotations: anchoring and agreement. Anchoring is a well known cognitive bias in human decision making, where judg…
Do You See What I Mean? Visual Resolution of Linguistic Ambiguities
Yevgeni Berzak, Andrei Barbu, Daniel Harari +2
Understanding language goes hand in hand with the ability to integrate complex contextual information obtained via perception. In this work, we present a novel task for grounded la…
Contrastive Analysis with Predictive Power: Typology Driven Estimation of Grammatical Error Distributions in ESL
Yevgeni Berzak, Roi Reichart, Boris Katz
This work examines the impact of cross-linguistic transfer on grammatical errors in English as Second Language (ESL) texts. Using a computational framework that formalizes the theo…
Reconstructing Native Language Typology from Foreign Language Usage
Yevgeni Berzak, Roi Reichart, Boris Katz
Linguists and psychologists have long been studying cross-linguistic transfer, the influence of native language properties on linguistic performance in a foreign language. In this…
