Gaze Attention is a new mechanism for multimodal large language models that selectively focuses on relevant visual regions during each generation step, rather than attending to all visual tokens. By grouping tokens into spatial regions and using learnable context tokens to retain global information, it reduces attention computation and visual key‑value entries by up to 90%. Experiments on 13 image and 6 video benchmarks show that Gaze Attention matches or outperforms dense‑attention baselines while using fewer visual resources.
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.

The study examines how vision‑language models handle multi‑turn pragmatic interpretation in iterated reference games, where participants repeatedly identify novel referents using language. Researchers compared human performance with that of several models, manipulating context by varying its amount, order, and relevance. While humans consistently performed well, the models could use prior context but struggled to build relevant context for effective interpretation, indicating missing core skills for efficient linguistic collaboration.

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.
