Reading scores are low, the title says. Big news, I thought. But let’s hear what the guest has to say. The guest was Pat Wyman, […]

I forgot what he presented at ECEM12 but I […]

Erik Reichle and Patryk Laurent reported their first effort to model eye movement programming in reading using a reinforcement learning algorithm on ECEM13. That’s a route I have been thinking since my dissertation work. I’ve played with a toy model, but should get back to it now.
I was looking for someone at Duke who does […]

Tags: I met Edson Miyamoto ( ミヤモト・エジソン) during my poster presentation at the JCSS2005 meeting. A very impressive sharp thinker, he is interested in Japanese sentence parsing in reading as well.
