Abstract

The MultiplEYE Data Collection Guidelines, developed within COST Action MultiplEYE (CA21131), support the collaborative creation of a large-scale, multilingual eye-tracking-while-reading corpus. This data can be used to study human language processing from a psycholinguistic perspective as well as to improve and evaluate computational language models via machine learning. To ensure methodological consistency and comparability across participating labs, a standardized experiment and data collection protocol has been implemented. The Guidelines provide detailed instructions for the entire data collection process, including preparation, experiment implementation, documentation, and contribution of data to the corpus.
