Data Preprocessing

For both datasets, fixation durations greater than 800 milliseconds (ms) and less than 80 ms were excluded. Since we were only interested in landing site data involving single fixations resulting from progressive, rightward saccades, all other data were excluded from analysis. We excluded regressive saccades because they usually occur when the reader has difficulty with a sentence or phrase. On the other hand, we were interested in the processes underlying fluent reading. Beginning and end-of-line fixations were also excluded.

Landing site distributions for readers of a Thai short story as a function of launch distance and word length

Landing site distributions for Chinese readers as a function of launch distance and word length

Figure 4. Landing site distributions for Chinese readers as a function of launch distance and word length. The graphs represent single fixations from rightward saccades on words of length one and two characters. Landing site positions are measured to a halfcharacter resolution.

Results

Figure 1 shows the distribution of landing sites for Thai readers for near and far launches to words from length 3 to 7 inclusive. Launch distances were defined as near or far if they were less than or greater than the mean launch distance (4.3 and 2.7 for characters for Thai and Chinese, respectively). In the left panel, where the launch distance is greater than the mean, there is a pattern suggesting an underlying random process attenuated by the central tendency of the saccade amplitude distribution. In the right panel there appears to be a peaked distribution, suggesting a more deliberate targeting of word centres.

Figure 2 shows a similar pattern for Chinese data for words of length 1 and 2 (there were not enough data points for length 3 words to be plotted). Note that the landing sites are plotted in half-characters along the x-axis to give a clearer visualisation of the landing site distributions.

Data Preprocessing
Data preprocessing is that movement where data is changed, or encoded, to convey it to such an express, that now the machine can parse it efficiently. In a manner of speaking, the features of the data would now have the option to be successfully deciphered by the estimation. There are significant steps...

Data Preprocessing and Integration
Data that has been eliminated from social media would be a large amount and in an unstructured JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) form, which has noisy and irregular information. Data mining modules such as stop word extraction, stemming, tokeni- zation, and normalization are applied in preprocessing...

IoHT Medical Data Preprocessing
The first phase in IoT is medical data preprocessing, which involves removing noise and missing data from the gathered information. Hence, noise-free data leads to an efficient analysis of HD derived patterns. Here, irregular data is removed under the application of the median studentized residual method...

Data Preprocessing. Data Augmentation
There exists a lot of exposure and lighting variation over the original fundus images, so we took several preprocessing steps, as suggested by Graham [10], to standardize the image condition. First, we re-scaled the images to get the same radius and subtracted the local average color. Thereafter, the...

Data Preprocessing
The purpose of the data preprocessing phase is to transform the raw input data into an apt format for the ensuing analysis. Blending the data from all the available sources is followed by cleaning the data, which includes steps such as noise reduction, omitting duplicates, and selecting records and features...

FRAP & FLIP Data Structure and (Pre)Processing
The data structure related to the FRAP & FLIP photobleaching techniques consists of a time series of rectangular matrices (2D ﬂuorescence proﬁles), where each entry quantiﬁes the ﬂuorescence intensity u at a particular spatial point in a ﬁnite 2D domain (e.g., by a number between...

Data and Preprocessing
In this work we used 66 male subjects aged 31-35 from the group S500 of the Human Connectome Project (HCP), all preprocessed with the HCP minimum pipeline [7]. The main advantages of using this public data base are: each subject possess a dense mesh representing their cortical surface, we use it to create...

Data Acquisition and Preprocessing
Baseline MRI, dMRI, and clinical data were downloaded from the ADNI database (adni.loni.usc.edu). Here we performed an analysis of dMRI data from 102 participants: 53 healthy controls (CN; mean age: 72.4 ± 6.0 years; 24 M/29 F), and 49 AD patients (mean age: 74.9 ± 8.7 years; 29 M/20 F). All subjects...
