Elucidating the Process of Relating Vague Verbal Expressions in Design Conversation with their Referents

2022-2023财年的主要成果为：（1）进行了详细的文献综述，以更好地将工作纳入正在进行的涉及设计中的眼动追踪研究的背景下。在这方面，我们进行了一项广泛的调查，涉及1996-2023年之间的30多件作品，并确定了几个集群，如记忆研究，导航研究，形式评估研究等，这使得这项研究能够更好地定位，以了解设计师的行为，并强调其将设计评估研究的范围扩展到几个利益相关者之间的设计对话领域的潜力;（2）获得东京工业大学伦理委员会的正式批准，可以对人类受试者进行研究;（3）完成了在实验室环境中进行眼动跟踪实验的技术准备工作，包括数据收集和分析的试点;（4）作为眼动追踪实验的基础，我们执行并发表了两项研究，探讨设计对话与解释之间的关系-一项研究展示了我们如何从言语中提取设计师的主观解释（Cao，Kahlon和Fujii，2022），另一项研究提出了一个分析设计叙事的框架（Kahlon和Fujii，2022）。这些将作为眼动追踪实验数据分析的基础;（5）完成了眼动追踪实验第一批专业建筑师的招募。

The main achievements in FY 2022-2023 are: (1) a detailed literature review was conducted to better situate the work within the context of ongoing research involving eye tracking in design. In this, we have conducted a broad survey involving over 30 works between the years 1996-2023, and identified several clusters such as memory studies, navigation studies, form evaluation studies, etc. This enables to better position this study with respect to ongoing efforts to understand the behavior of designers, and emphasize its potential for expanding the scope of design evaluation studies into the domain of design conversation between several stakeholders; (2) a formal approval from the ethics committee of the Tokyo Institute of Technology was obtained, to conduct research with human subjects; (3) technical preparations for executing the eye tracking experiment in a lab environment were completed, including a pilot for data collection and its analysis; (4) as a basis for the eye tracking experiment, two studies which explore the relations between design conversation and interpretation were executed and published - one which demonstrates how we can extract designers' subjective interpretations from speech (Cao, Kahlon and Fujii, 2022) and another in which we proposed a framework for analyzing narratives in design (Kahlon and Fujii, 2022). These will serve as the basis for analyzing the data from the eye tracking experiment; (5) recruitment of our first group of professional architects for our eye tracking experiment was completed.
