Towards Multi-Modal Text-Image Retrieval to improve Human Reading (2021.naacl-srw)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | In primary school, children's books, as well as in modern language learning apps, multi-modal learning strategies like illustrations of terms and phrases are used to support reading comprehension. |
| Approach: | They propose to use multi-modal transformers to train multi-dimensional models on text-image retrieval to support a user's reading comprehension of arbitrary text. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model performs poorly because of the short and relatively simple textual data that the current models are trained with. |

InteRead: An Eye Tracking Dataset of Interrupted Reading (2024.lrec-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Eye movements during reading can provide insights into cognitive processes and language comprehension, but the scarcity of reading data with interruptions hampers advances in the development of intelligent learning technologies. |
| Approach: | They propose a dataset of eye movements during reading that includes eye movements and word frequency effects. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset shows that interruptions, word length and word frequency effects significantly impact eye movements during reading. |
Measure Children’s Mindreading Ability with Machine Reading (2023.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing scoring models do not take the features of the stories and video clips into account when scoring, which will reduce the accuracy of the models. |
| Approach: | They propose to leverage the features extracted from stories and videos related to the questions being asked during the children’s mindreading evaluation. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework agrees well with human experts on scores produced by the models. |
