记录一个尴尬但不失可爱的talk经历。开头和我导师Lena的插科打诨被听众以为是彩排好了的相声导入。

So happy to have presented our project on **Individual signatures of spillover** at CPL2025. Grateful to my supervisor Lena Jaeger, for her great ideas and for her kind support! Thanks to my coauthors and the audience at CPL2025. The award was a democratic vote by the audience!

Key Result 2: Information from Models Using fine-tuned Qwen2.5-VL and TransOCR, we estimated the MI between images and word identity. MI systematically drops: Full > Upper > Lower — perfectly mirroring human reading patterns! 🤯

We model reading time as proportional to the number of visual “samples” needed to reduce uncertainty below a threshold ϕ. Higher mutual information → fewer samples → faster reading.

📊 We quantify this using mutual information (MI) between visual input and word identity. To test the theory, we created a reading experiment using the MoTR (Mouse-Tracking-for-Reading) paradigm 🖱️📖 We ran the study in both English and Chinese.

👀Ever wondered how visual information quality affects reading and language processing? Our new #EMNLP2025 paper with @wegotlieb.bsky.social, Lena Jäger -- “Modeling Bottom-up Information Quality during Language Processing”, bridges psycholinguistics and multimodal LLMs. 🧠💡👇 arxiv.org/pdf/2509.17047

Some of my colleagues are already very excited about this work!

Participants must move their mouse over the text to reveal the words, while their cursor movements are recorded (similar to how eye movements are recorded in eye tracking). See below for an example MoTR trial.
