AC-PLT: An algorithm for computer-assisted coding of semantic property listing data.

Behavior research methods
In this paper, we present a novel algorithm that uses machine learning and natural language processing techniques to facilitate the coding of feature listing data. Feature listing is a method in which participants are asked to provide a list of featu...

Extrapolation of affective norms using transformer-based neural networks and its application to experimental stimuli selection.

Behavior research methods
Data on the emotionality of words is important for the selection of experimental stimuli and sentiment analysis on large bodies of text. While norms for valence and arousal have been thoroughly collected in English, most languages do not have access ...

Deep learning models for webcam eye tracking in online experiments.

Behavior research methods
Eye tracking is prevalent in scientific and commercial applications. Recent computer vision and deep learning methods enable eye tracking with off-the-shelf webcams and reduce dependence on expensive, restrictive hardware. However, such deep learning...

The comparison data forest: A new comparison data approach to determine the number of factors in exploratory factor analysis.

Behavior research methods
Developing psychological assessment instruments often involves exploratory factor analyses, during which one must determine the number of factors to retain. Several factor-retention criteria have emerged that can infer this number from empirical data...

Automatic discovery and description of human planning strategies.

Behavior research methods
Scientific discovery concerns finding patterns in data and creating insightful hypotheses that explain these patterns. Traditionally, each step of this process required human ingenuity. But the galloping development of computer chips and advances in ...

Using machine learning to improve Q-matrix validation.

Behavior research methods
The Q-matrix, which specifies the relationship between items and attributes, is a crucial component of cognitive diagnostic models (CDMs). A precisely specified Q-matrix allows for valid cognitive diagnostic assessments. In practice, a Q-matrix is us...

A Chinese verb semantic feature dataset (CVFD).

Behavior research methods
Language is an advanced cognitive function of humans, and verbs play a crucial role in language. To understand how the human brain represents verbs, it is critical to analyze what knowledge humans have about verbs. Thus, several verb feature datasets...

Online eye-movement classification with temporal convolutional networks.

Behavior research methods
The simultaneous classification of the three most basic eye-movement patterns is known as the ternary eye-movement classification problem (3EMCP). Dynamic, interactive real-time applications that must instantly adjust or respond to certain eye behavi...

Supervised machine learning aided behavior classification in pigeons.

Behavior research methods
Manual behavioral observations have been applied in both environment and laboratory experiments in order to analyze and quantify animal movement and behavior. Although these observations contributed tremendously to ecological and neuroscientific disc...

A machine learning-based procedure for leveraging clickstream data to investigate early predictability of failure on interactive tasks.

Behavior research methods
Early detection of risk of failure on interactive tasks comes with great potential for better understanding how examinees differ in their initial behavior as well as for adaptively tailoring interactive tasks to examinees' competence levels. Drawing ...
