Abstract:

Eyes on Text presents a contemporary overview of research on eye movements in reading and language processing by spinning around the heptagon of cognitive science, which consists of linguistics, neuroscience, philosophy, anthropology, artificial intelligence, education in its corners. The book consists of four parts: basics, methodology, perspectives, and bridging the gaps. After introducing the basic terminology in the first two chapters, the book introduces the methodology of the research on eyes on text, focusing on factors that shape experiment designs and data analysis. The book then introduces modeling perspectives (models of human text processing and eye movement control), empirical perspectives (eyes on text at various levels of language processing), and reader-oriented perspectives (children, elderly readers, reading disorders, and nonnative reading processes) to the study of eyes on text. The final chapters of the book discuss the diversity of the current approaches and introduce several frontiers that allow bridging the gaps between the domains that conduct studies on eyes on text. It emphasizes the incorporation of the Human-in-the-Loop (HitL) paradigm into Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications as a promising approach to bridge the gaps between the domains, also allowing designing personalized interfaces.
