Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

When programming complex experiments (for example, involving the generation of stimuli online), the traditional experiment programming software are not well equipped.One solution is to give up entirely the use of such software in favor of a lowlevel programming language.Here we show how E-Prime can be connected to Mathematica so that the easiness and reliability of this software can be preserved while at the same time granting it the full computational power of a high-level programming language.As an example, we show how to generate noisy images with noise proportional to the rate of success of the participants with as few as 12 lines of codes in E-Prime.Psychology experiments can be rather simple, being composed of a fixed number of trials, presenting a fixed set of stimuli and collecting a fixed set of responses.For such situations, many software exists that can program the experiment rapidly and easily (such as Superlab, ERTS, InQuisit, E-Prime, DirectRT, to name a few, Stahl, 2006).However, more sophisticated experiments are sometimes required which can for example (i) continue training until a performance criterion is reached, (ii) generate random stimuli, (iii) alter stimulus differently to adapt to the participant, (iv) interpret the participant's response and continue the experiment accordingly, etc.The possibilities are endless and we are only enumerating a few.All these possibilities can be implemented as long as a programming language is available.However, (a) very few experiment programming software offer the possibility to include lines of code within the experiment, (b) when they do, it is often a

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
