Loads example data

The automatic and manual example data are eggs containing 30 subjects who completed a free recall experiment as described here: https://psyarxiv.com/psh48/. The subjects studied 8 lists of 16 words each and then performed a free recall test.

The naturalistic example data is is an egg containing 17 subjects who viewed and verbally recounted an episode of the BBC series Sherlock, as described here: https://www.nature.com/articles/nn.4450. We fit a topic model to hand-annotated text-descriptions of scenes from the video and used the model to transform both the scene descriptions and manual transcriptions of each subject’s verbal recall. We then used a Hidden Markov Model to segment the video model and the recall models, by subject, into k events.

Parameters:
