Changelog

blabr 0.25.2

Fixed

  • Fixes default folder name typo in get_blab_share_path
  • Changes get_blab_share_path to check for empty strings and not just NULL

Changes

  • Added add_vtc_speaker_stats function, which does the same thing as get_vtc_speaker_stats but keep all the original columns

blabr 0.25.1

Fixed

  • Make blabr look for git in the current PATH. Previously, the path to git was only looked up once during the package installation leading to changes to PATH having no effect at all.

blabr 0.25.0

Changed

  • assign_time_windows:
    • The window boundaries are now specified with two arguments: t_starts, t_ends instead of t_start, short_window_time, med_window_time, and long_window_time. DEFAULT_WINDOWS_UPPER_BOUNDS can be used as t_ends.
    • The windows columns are now called “window_ms” and “which_window_ms” instead of, e.g., “shortwin” and “whichwin_short”.
    • The window boundaries have to be specifed explicitly, no default values will be used.
    • The which_window_<t_start>_<t_end>ms columns now have the following values: “pre”, “neither”, and “_ms” (the latter used to be “short”/“med”/“long”)
  • tag_low_data_trials:
    • min_fraction must be specified explicitly, the default value of 1/3 was removed but will be suggested in the error message.
    • You can now either specify the window_column to be used or t_start and t_end removing the confusing option where an existing window column was used but its end and t_start were used in the calculation of the maximum number of bins in the window.
    • When you specify a window column, the boundaries will be inferred from the column name (see assign_time_windows).

blabr 0.24.1

Fixed

  • Update get_reliability for the 0.0.4 version of the dataset.

blabr 0.24.0

Changed

  • Streamlined update_global_basic_levels. It now loads all_basiclevel_NA.csv from a local file, not from BLAB_DATA. This way, there is no need to create a tagged commit in the all_basiclevel repo with the updated all_basiclevel_NA.csv that doesn’t yet have global basic levels. You still need to commit and tag global basic level mapping dictionaries in the same repo though.

blabr 0.23.0

Changed

  • Update get_seedlings_nouns and friends to work with the v2.0.0-dev.3 version of the dataset:
    • Update column names and types.
    • Teach to treat v2.0.0-dev.3 as a development version.
  • get_* functions that read data from ~/BLAB_DATA will no longer make the corresponding repos headless when the version commit is already checked out as a branch.

blabr 0.22.1

Fixed

  • A bug in verify_no_overlapping_fixations which is internally used by fixations_to_timeseries.

blabr 0.22.0

Added

  • read_message_report function.
  • split_fixation_repor, split_message_report, and merge_split_reports functions that together transform the data from a fixation and a message report into a list of these tables: experiment, recordings, trials, fixations, messages. Use them as the first step in eyetracking processing.

Changed

  • Most of the eyetracking functions have been renamed and updated. One notable difference is that they expect input dataframe to contain columns recording_id and trial_index and do not allow to choose a column as a parameter. Instead, use dplyr::rename if necessary or, better yet, keep these two column names and don’t rename them. Functions split_fixation_report and split_message_report will create these columns for you by renaming RECORDING_SESSION_LABEL and TRIAL_INDEX from the original report tables.
  • binifyFixations is now fixations_to_timeseries. What’s chcanged:
    • It is now a lot faster. As an example, the processing time went from 1+ min to 1-3 s on the “ht_seedlings” dataset.
    • keepCols parameter was dropped, use dplyr::select instead.
    • gaze, binSize, and maxTime parameters are now fixations, t_step, and t_max. Otherwise, they didn’t change.
    • It expects the fixation boundaries to be in the t_start and t_end columns. If you used split_fixation_report, they will be named like that already, otherwise use dplyr::rename.
    • The function will throw an error if the fixations overlap which has happened to some datasets in the past.
    • The output no longer has the timeBin column (it was redundant and easily confusable with time), Nonset is t_onset - time since the target onset rounded up to the nearest multiple of t_step.
  • fixations_report is now read_fixation_report, parameter val_guess_max is just guess_max now.
  • get_windows is now assign_time_windows.
    • It now takes the following parameters: fixation_timeseries, t_step (previously bin_size, t_start, short_window_time, med_window_time, long_window_time.
    • The input dataframe must contain the target_onset column.
    • nb_1 that used to take the number of time steps (bins) since the target onset until the common window start was replaced with t_start which takes the time in ms between those two events.
    • There will be more changes to this function in the future mainly aimed at making it harder to use one set of window boundaries in this function and then a different one in tag_low_data_trials (previously FindLowData).
  • FindLowData is now tag_low_data_trials.
    • It now takes the following parameters: fixation_timeseries, window_column, t_start, t_end, t_step, min_fraction (defaults to 1/3).
    • min_fraction makes the minimum amount of data more explicit.
    • The nb_2 parameter was replaced with t_start which has the same meaning as in assign_time_windows. If you are converting from older code, nb_2 used to be in ms, unlike nb_1 in get_windows which was in bins so there is nothing to convert.
    • There is no check that t_start and t_end correpond to those used in assign_time_windows so be careful to make sure they match.
    • The output column is now called is_low_data_trial and is always TRUE or FALSE (it used to be NA for some trials).

Fixed

  • Example for get_vihi_annotations uses data version that doesn’t lead to errors.
  • whichwinmed and whichwinshort columns in the output of assign_time_windows (previously, get_windows) are now calculated correctly. They used to be identical to whichwinlong because of a bug.

Removed

  • Many eyetracking functions were hard-deprecated in favor of their renamed and updated versions. Some of them are described above under “Changed”. See help(blabr::defunct) for the full list. You can also run any of them to get a replacement suggestion.
  • Removed RemoveLowData and RemoveFrozenTrials. Use tag_low_data_trials and FindFrozenTrials followed by dplyr::filter() instead.

blabr 0.21.0

Changed

  • get_vihi_annotations now
    • filters out PI by default,
    • returns only randomly sample intervals by default,
    • can return annotations from random and top-5 high-volubitlity intevals for VI and their TD matches with subset = 'VI+TD-VI',
    • checks ACLEW tiers for consistency,
    • see ?get_vihi_annotations for more details.

Fixed

  • Lots in tests. They are still failing though.

blabr 0.20.1

Added

  • Account for changes in the vihi_annotations dataset:
    • Three new tiers: fun, pro, rep.
    • Columns with the transcription and its annotation id are now called transcription and transcription_id.

blabr 0.20.0

Added

  • Introduced get_seedlings_nouns_extra and get_seedlings_nouns_codebook functions. get_seedlings_nouns only loads the main table now.
  • get_seedlings_nouns and friends now produce messages informing user about the existence of codebooks, relation to other tables, etc.
  • Dataset versions removed from GitHub but persisting locally will no longer be loaded.
  • Add get_blab_share_path, remove get_pn_opus_path.

Fixed

  • The help page of get_seedlings_nouns has been updated.
  • Check that the requested dataset versions are present in the GitHub repo. Supplying non-existent versions to get_* functions (get_seedlings_nouns, get_vihi_annotaitons, etc.) used to lead to loading of the version that was currently in BLAB_DATA.
  • Enforce column specification in get_* functions: throw an error if it doesn’t match the data. Previously, if I messed up and didn’t add new columns to the code at all or didn’t use them for specific dataset versions, there was no indication of that.
  • Fix column misspecification of seedlings-nouns tables revealed by enforcing column specifications.
  • Add missing column specs to get_vihi_annotations.
  • Avoid repeating dataset version handling unnecessariliy resulting in doubling of reminder to supply a version to the function call or update the requested version.
  • Throw an error if a git command throws one.

blabr 0.19.1

Fixed

  • There were unqualified calls in get_vihi_annotations. I don’t yet know why this wasn’t flagged by devtools::check() or didn’t cause a test error.

blabr 0.19.0

Added:

  • Function get_vihi_annotations similar to other get_* functions.

blabr 0.18.1

Fixed:

  • Correctly identify public versions of datasets.

blabr 0.18.0

Fix: - No more installation errors due to missing the tidyverse meta-package. - Now, neither the packages from tidyverse, nor any other packages are attached after running library(blabr). This forces the user to insert explicit library(<pkg>) calls to their own code leading to fewer unintended consequences, e.g., filter referring to dplyr::filter instead of the standard stats::filter even when user didn’t run library(dplyr).

blabr 0.17.0

Features: - Switched to the public version in get_seedlings_nouns. The development versions can still be requested. - Now, get_seedlings_nouns can get other tables and codebooks from the SEEDLingS - Nouns dataset with the table and get_codeobook parameters.

Fixes: - CONTRIBUTING.md - devtools::test() should be run before devtools::check(). - Multiple tests don’t fail anymore. Except for test-seedlings.R, this one is skipped for now.

blabr 0.16.3

Fixes: - Take into account that global_bl already exists when adding an updated global_bl column to “all_basiclevel_NA.csv”. - col_factor was called without qualifying with readr::.

blabr 0.16.2

Fix: correctly add global_bl column specification when reading “all_basiclevel_NA.csv”.

blabr 0.16.1

Account for adding global_bl column directly to all_basiclevel.

blabr 0.16.0

Account for csvs in the seedlings-nouns_private having moved to the “public/” subfolder.

blabr 0.15.0

get_all_basiclevel uses “all_basiclevel_na.csv” only as it will be the only file in the all_basiclevel repo from now on. If you need to stick to an older version of blabr and get_all_basiclevel stopped working for you, add type = 'csv' to the call.

blabr 0.14.2

Account for global basic level dictionaries having moved to the all_basiclevel repo.

blabr 0.14.1

Fix: make get_* functions work on Windows.

blabr 0.14.0

Add function get_seedlings_nouns that loads the seedlings-nouns dataset from the lab-private repo.

blabr 0.13.2

Switch to Makrdown for docs.

blabr 0.13.1

Bugfix: update big_aggregate to reflect the switch from “TVS” to “TVN” as “speaker” value.

blabr 0.13.0

  • Improved handling of segments spanning two intervals in add_lena_stats and make_five_min_approximation: each such segment contributes utterance counts to these intervals in proportion to the overlap.

    With this change, make_five_min_approximation produces awc and cvc on the test file that differ from the corresponding lena5min csv file by at most

blabr 0.12.0

  • New functions: prepare_intervals and add_lena_stats that previously used to be a single function make_five_min_approximation. The latter still exists but calls the former two now.

    There are some changes to the behavior of make_five_min_approximation:

    • No more zero-duration intervals.
    • Segments overlapping with two intervals now count fully towards both (previously they would count only towards the first one).
    • Intervals returned for any time point the recording was on (previously, only intervals with segments starting in them were returned).

blabr 0.11.0

  • Multiple fixes to the global basic level logic:
    • ambiguous words in object_dict can’t have rows with NA in disambiguate,
    • more specific instructions for manual updates,
    • copy object_dict when some annotations need disambiguating even if the dictionary itself does not need to be updated.

blabr 0.10.0

  • Add get_pn_opus_path function.

blabr 0.9.0

  • Only objects marked for export in the roxygen comments will be exported. If a function from blabr no longer works, use blabr:::<function_name> and tell the lab technician.

blabr 0.8.1

  • Updated docs for get_vtc_speaker_stats.

blabr 0.8.0

  • Added add_vtc_stats function that calculates VTC-bases ctc. Ported from childproject.

blabr 0.7.0

  • Added add_lena_stats function that calculates ctc, cvc, and awc for a set of intervals.

blabr 0.6.0

  • Added make_new_global_basic_level function that loads all_basiclevel, and adds a global_bl column to it which contains global basic levels. Clone global_basic_level to ~/BLAB_DATA before using.

blabr 0.5.2

  • bugfix: get_seedlings_speaker_stats now uses the speaker field from the sparse code csvs, instead of the LENA-identified tier field.

blabr 0.5.1

  • bugfix: get_seedlings_speaker_stats called multiple functions without specifying the library:: part.

blabr 0.5.0

  • Added read_rttm/write_rttm functions to read/write .rttm files that Voice Type Classifier (VTC) creates.
  • Added functions get_seedlings_speaker_stats, get_vtc_speaker_stats that add stats to a set of time intervals based on Seedlings annotations and VTC outputs respectively.
  • Renamed get_speaker_stats to get_lena_speaker_stats to make the stats source explicit.

blabr 0.4.6

LENA functions:

  • calculate_lena_like_stats now outputs an additional column interval_start_wav that contains the interval start as the number of milliseconds from the start of the wav file,
  • sample_intervals_* functions keep only the necessary columns from the input intervals_tibble: interval_start, interval_end, and - in the case of sample_intervals_with_highest - the column whose values was maximized.

blabr 0.4.5

  • Removed dependency on fuzzyjoin and BioConductor package IRanges - less problems installing blabr.
  • VIHI LENA intervals for annotation: prevent utterances counting towards two neighbouring intervals.

blabr 0.4.4

  • fix: sample_intervals_periodically works now

blabr 0.4.3

  • fix: correctly tell R to install IRanges from BioConductor

blabr 0.4.2

  • LENA: calculate stats, sample intervals in several ways

    • get LENA-like AWC, CTC, CVC stats for given time intervals,
    • get speaker-level stats: adult word count, total segment duration, child utterance count
    • sample intervals: randomly, periodically, and optimizing for a given metric

blabr 0.4.1

  • bugfix: lag is now prefixed with dplyr:: in make_five_min_approximation, so that stats::lag is not used.

blabr 0.4.0

  • add make_five_min_approximation function that processes an .its file and outputs a tibble with columns duration, AWC.Actual, CTC.Actual, CWC.Actual that are similar to the ones in the LENA’s 5min.csv files, except for a different handling of speech segments that cross a 5-min interval border: LENA splits the values between the two intervals, while we consider them to belong to the first one.

blabr 0.3.0

  • get_* functions produce similar results for “.csv” and “.feather” now. The attributes are not exactly the same and the orders of factor levels are different but now the outputs are both tibbles and have the same column types. The similarity is checked with all.equal(..., check.attributes = FALSE))

blabr 0.2.1

  • Suppress git message when checking out a tag.

blabr 0.2.0

  • get_* functions do not have branch and commit parameters anymore, instead they have a new version parameter that currently refers to a tag label in the corresponding dataset repository. Using get_all_* functions without supplying the version argument is discouraged, an appropriate warning is in place.

    Motivation for the change:

    • explicitly setting dataset version gives one a chance at reproducible analysis,
    • using versions instead of commit hashes lets us later choose a different non-git storage option. Or, even if we do go with git, the old and new hashes will not clash and/or confuse the users.

  • Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
