ScanEZ: Integrating Cognitive Models with Self-Supervised Learning for Spatiotemporal Scanpath Prediction

ACL 2025short

Accurately predicting human scanpaths during reading is vital for diverse fields and downstream tasks, from educational technologies to automatic question answering. To date, however, progress in this direction remains limited by scarce gaze data. We overcome the issue with ScanEZ, a self-supervised…

InteRead: An Eye Tracking Dataset of Interrupted Reading

COLING 2024main

Eye movements during reading offer a window into cognitive processes and language comprehension, but the scarcity of reading data with interruptions – which learners frequently encounter in their everyday learning environments – hampers advances in the development of intelligent learning technologie…

Neural Photofit: Gaze-Based Mental Image Reconstruction

ICCV 2021poster

We propose a novel method that leverages human fixations to visually decode the image a person has in mind into a photofit (facial composite). Our method combines three neural networks: An encoder, a scoring network, and a decoder. The encoder extracts image features and predicts a neural activation…

Improving Natural Language Processing Tasks with Human Gaze-Guided Neural Attention

NeurIPS 2020poster

A lack of corpora has so far limited advances in integrating human gaze data as a supervisory signal in neural attention mechanisms for natural language processing (NLP). We propose a novel hybrid text saliency model (TSM) that, for the first time, combines a cognitive model of reading with explicit…
