Synthetic Data and Artificial Neural Networks for Natural Scene Text Recognition (2014, methodology): “ter sequence encoding (Sect. 3.2), and bag-of-N-grams encoding (Sect. 3.3). Our recognition methods work by performing inference on the word image holistically, mimicking more closely how humans read [6], rather than by sequential character classiﬁcation as is traditionally done. Due to the large tr”
The English Lexicon Project (2007, background): “The major computational models that have been developed by Coltheart et al. (2001), Plaut et al. (1996), and Seidenberg and McClelland (1989) have all exclusively dealt with monosyllabic words (but see Ans, Carbonnel, & Valdois, 1998, for an example of a multisyllabic computational model).”
Simulating consistency effects and individual differences in nonword naming: A comparison of current models (2006, methodology): “For example both Cortese and Simpson (2000) and Jared (2002) conducted naming studies that explicitly compared the regularity and consistency factors, and examined the performance of the Plaut et al. (1996) and Coltheart et al. (2001) models on their stimuli.”
Replicating syllable frequency effects in Spanish in German: One more challenge to computational models of visual word recognition (2004, methodology): “…the frequency of words or their parts, current localist connectionist models such as the Multiple Read-Out Model (MROM; Grainger & Jacobs, 1996; Jacobs et al., 2003) or the revised dual-route cascaded model (DRC; Coltheart et al., 2001) make use of the inhibitory connections between lexical units.”
Dual Route and Connectionist Models of Reading: An Overview. (2006, methodology): “(2003), who also showed that this positional effect could not be simulated by a connectionist model of reading which had no serial-processing component but could be correctly simulated by the Dual Route Cascaded (DRC) model (Coltheart et al., 2001) of reading, a computational realization of the dual”
On the Anglocentricities of current reading research and practice: the perils of overreliance on an "outlier" orthography. (2008, methodology): “(M. Coltheart et al., 2001, p. 219) M. Coltheart et al. (2001) evaluated the model by comparing its performance to standard effects obtained by skilled readers only after parameter-setting enabled the model to read both members of exception/nonword pairs, such as chef/starn.”
Watching the Word Go by: On the Time-course of Component Processes in Visual Word Recognition (2009, methodology): “The graphemic code uses a standard beginning-to-end position coding as previously applied in dual-route models of reading aloud (Coltheart et al. 2001; Perry et al. 2007), whereas the coarse-grained code uses ordered pairs of contiguous and non-contiguous letters (open-bigrams: Grainger and van…”
Assessing the basic components of reading: A revision of the Castles and Coltheart test with new norms (2009, methodology): “And since getting from print to speech by sounding out using GPC rules does not use the lexicon, that method for reading aloud is called the nonlexical route (Coltheart, Rastle, Perry, Langdon, & Ziegler, 2001 ).”
