*Random forests as an exploratory tool for eye-movement control in readingVictor Kuperman, PhD* Dept. of Linguistics and Language, McMaster University June 30, 2015: 13h30-15h00 Stewart Biology Building, McGill University Room S3/4 1205 Dr. Penfield Avenue Montreal, Quebec *Abstract:* Decades of research have amassed an impressive body of knowledge on sources of variability in eye-movement control in reading. Major sources include text characteristics (i.e. properties of letters, morphemes, words, sentences, or passages) and participant characteristics (clinical status, age, reading experience, IQ, working memory, etc.). As a result, word length, frequency of occurrence and predictability in context – and more recently, component skills of reading (Reichle et al., 2013) – are routinely used as benchmark predictors of eye-movements and core parameters of computational models of eye-movement control (Reichle et al., 2006; Engbert, 2005). However, little effort has been allocated to establishing how important individual predictors or (sets of predictors) of eye-movements are relative to other predictors (or other sets). Yet such information is crucial for highlighting which aspects of linguistic complexity and individual ability and skill are central for efficient reading and when in the time-course of reading they are engaged. *Invited Lecture by Dr. Frank Rudzicz (Toronto Rehabilitation Institute and Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto): “Tongues, brains, robots, and Cinderella: Different ways to assess atypical speech.” * August 11, 2015 at 11:00 AM McConnell Engineering Room 437 http://www.cim.mcgill.ca/Members/rogers/seminar.2015-06-22.6586057262/ *Recherche de participants: La musique vous détend?
