Coreference-aware Surprisal Predicts Brain Response

no code implementations Findings (EMNLP) 2021 Evan Jaffe, Byung-Doh Oh, William Schuler

Recent evidence supports a role for coreference processing in guiding human expectations about upcoming words during reading, based on covariation between reading times and word surprisal estimated by a coreference-aware semantic processing model (Jaffe et al. 2020). The present study reproduces and elaborates on this finding by (1) enabling the parser to process subword information that might better approximate human morphological knowledge, and (2) extending evaluation of coreference effects from self-paced reading to human brain imaging data.

Coreference information guides human expectations during natural reading

no code implementations COLING 2020 Evan Jaffe, Cory Shain, William Schuler

Models of human sentence processing effort tend to focus on costs associated with retrieving structures and discourse referents from memory (memory-based) and/or on costs associated with anticipating upcoming words and structures based on contextual cues (expectation-based) (Levy, 2008).
