Abstract:
|
One of the aims of the Eye-to-IT project (FP6 IST 517590) is to integrate
keyboard logging and eye-tracking data to study and anticipate the behaviour
of human translators. This so-called User-Activity Data (UAD) would
make it possible to empirically ground cognitive models and to validate hypotheses
of human processing concepts in the data. In order to thoroughly ground a
cognitive model of the user in empirical observation, two conditions must be met
as a minimum. All UAD data must be fully synchronised so that data relate to
a common construct. Secondly, data must be represented in a queryable form so
that large volumes of data can be analysed electronically.
Two programs have evolved in the Eye-to-IT project: TRANSLOG is designed
to register and replay keyboard logging data, while GWM is a tool to record and
replay eye-movement data. This paper reports on an attempt to synchronise and
integrate the representations of both software components so that sequences of
keyboard and eye-movement data can be retrieved and their interaction studied.
The outcome of this effort would be the possibility to correlate eye- and keyboard
activities of translators (the user model) with properties of the source and target
texts and thus to uncover dependencies in the UAD. |
