The proposed “attention-aware” approach for computing contextual semantic relevance improves upon existing methods by incorporating different contributions of contextual parts and expectation effects. Inspired by the Transformer’s attention algorithm and human memory mechanisms, this study introduces an innovative method that simulates reading models and evaluates them more accurately than previous approaches. The resulting metrics can better predict fixation durations in Chinese reading tasks recorded in eye-tracking corpora. This research provides strong support for semantic preview benefits in naturalistic Chinese reading, offering a valuable computational tool for modeling eye-movements and gaining insights into language comprehension.

This study creates an “attention-aware” method to understand how humans comprehend sentences. It’s like using a special kind of attention that helps machines learn about human language processing. The researchers combined ideas from machine learning and human memory to create this new approach. They tested it on Chinese reading tasks and found it worked better than other methods. This breakthrough can help us better understand how we read and process language, which is important for improving our understanding of how humans communicate.
