Excited to share my open-access paper published in Research Methods in Applied Linguistics (@RMALJournal)! It critically explores the limitations of traditional linear regression models (assuming normal error distribution) for analysing syntactic complexity measures. 1/10
In this study, we also introduced a novel annotation tool for sequence tagging tasks like NER or MWE identification. It supports the easy annotation of any spans (e.g., discontinuous or overlapping) and simplifies annotator management. Repo: github.com/Yusuke196/CAIG…
The identification of multiword expressions (e.g., "pick up" in "pick me up at the station") is beneficial for a range of tasks and applications, yet high-quality datasets remain scarce.
Does culture shape how we look, gesture, and interact? A new study uses wearable eye-tracking to explore how Japanese and Dutch participants coordinate gaze and action during collaboration. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
