Automatic detection of dyslexia based on eye movements during reading in Russian

ACL 2025short

Dyslexia, a common learning disability, requires an early diagnosis. However, current screening tests are very time- and resource-consuming. We present an LSTM that aims to automatically classify dyslexia based on eye movements recorded during natural readingcombined with basic demographic informati…

EyeBench: Predictive Modeling from Eye Movements in Reading

NeurIPS 2025poster

We present EyeBench, the first benchmark designed to evaluate machine learning models that decode cognitive and linguistic information from eye movements during reading. EyeBench offers an accessible entry point to the challenging and underexplored domain of modeling eye tracking data paired with te…

Reverse-Engineering the Reader

EMNLP 2024main

Numerous previous studies have sought to determine to what extent language models, pretrained on natural language text, can serve as useful models of human cognition.In this paper, we are interested in the opposite question: whether we can directly optimize a language model to be a useful cognitive…

Pre-Trained Language Models Augmented with Synthetic Scanpaths for Natural Language Understanding

EMNLP 2023short main

Human gaze data offer cognitive information that reflects natural language comprehension. Indeed, augmenting language models with human scanpaths has proven beneficial for a range of NLP tasks, including language understanding. However, the applicability of this approach is hampered because the abun…

ScanDL: A Diffusion Model for Generating Synthetic Scanpaths on Texts

EMNLP 2023long main

Eye movements in reading play a crucial role in psycholinguistic research studying the cognitive mechanisms underlying human language processing. More recently, the tight coupling between eye movements and cognition has also been leveraged for language-related machine learning tasks such as the inte…
