Vision-language models excel at video captioning, yet typically generate descriptions that fail to capture individual viewers' attention. We propose VEGAS (Video caption Evaluation via GAze Score), a training-free metric that leverages test-time gaze to sample personalized, attention-aligned text.

Estimating human gaze targets from images in-the-wild is an important and formidable task. Existing approaches primarily employ brittle, multi-stage pipelines that require explicit inputs, like head bounding boxes and human pose, in order to identify the subject of gaze analysis.

AI video generation has advanced rapidly and entered widespread commercial use. As a result, quality differences among videos produced by state-of-the-art AI video generation models~(AIVGMs) have become increasingly difficult to discern using conventional evaluation criteria, such as visual fidelity and semantic instruction following.
GazeFlow is a new framework for egocentric gaze prediction that models gaze as a joint distribution of temporal positions conditioned on both top‑down task cues and bottom‑up visual saliency. It employs conditional flow matching to iteratively transform Gaussian noise into realistic gaze trajectories, using a velocity field informed by video‑encoded visual features and global task queries. On standard benchmarks, GazeFlow outperforms existing methods on per‑frame metrics and produces trajectories that better reflect human gaze dynamics.
