Selection-based virtual keyboard prototypes and data collection application.

30 Jul 2009 An emerging area of research in engineering psychology is the evaluation of text entry for mobile devices using a small number of keys for the control of cursor direction and character selection from a matrix of characters (i.e., selection-based ... Read more...

New algorithms assessing short summaries in expository texts using latent semantic analysis.

30 Jul 2009 In this study, we compared four expert graders with latent semantic analysis (LSA) to assess short summaries of an expository text. As is well known, there are technical difficulties for LSA to establish a good semantic representation when analyzing ... Read more...

Evaluating the two-component inspection model in a simplified luggage search task.

30 Jul 2009 Visual inspection of X-ray images of luggage is a time-pressured task that typically shows large initial training effects, but there exists a paucity of models capable of evaluating performance and speed concurrently. In the present study, visual ... Read more...
