Projects
(1) We are actively involved in the MultiplEYE COST action:
Enabling multilingual eye-tracking data collection for human and machine language processing research
The goal of this action is to collect eye tracking data from reading in many languages. The goal is to support the development of a large multilingual eye tracking corpus and enable researchers to collect data by sharing infrastructure and their knowledge between various fields, including linguistics, psychology, and computer science.
Also as part of Working Group 2 (WG2) Meeting of the MultiplEYE project was held in Wrocław, Poland, on April 6-7, 2024. 14 members of MultiplEYE participated and during two days of meetings, there was an embracing environment with very active participation.
(2) We are have also finished collecting data from L1 Polish – L2 English speakers as part of the MECO project whose goal is to create a Multilingual Corpus of Eye-tracking data.
Events
All the lab members were involved in the organization of the conference Psycholinguistics of Slavic Languages 2024 (PsychoSlav) held on 9-11 July 2024: https://sites.google.com/view/psychoslav-2024/call-for-papers
The conference was financially supported by the Centre for Corpus and Experimental Research on Slavic languages “Slavicus”: https://slavicus.uwr.edu.pl/
