GazeFS: Target-Centered Gaze-Trajectory Forecasting and Stabilization from Gaze-Head History

GazeFS is a model that predicts and stabilizes target‑centered gaze trajectories using a variable‑length gaze‑head history, without requiring target information during inference. It maps this history to the next target‑center direction and a short‑horizon Search/Focus estimate, improving focus target centering and reducing residual gaze error. Across 7,960 acquisition episodes from 30 participants, GazeFS reduces Focus episode bias, dispersion, and P90 target error by 0.182°, 0.257°, and 0.400°, respectively, while maintaining high phase‑balanced accuracy and AUPRC.

Predicting Turn-Taking Outcomes in Multi-Party Conversation: Interpretable Modelling of Speech and Gaze Dynamics with Interpersonal Closeness

The study investigates how gaze and speech cues, together with perceived interpersonal closeness, predict turn‑taking outcomes in free four‑person conversations. Using the GaMMA corpus, logistic regression models were trained on interpretable features such as gaze transition motifs, entropy, addressee identity, mutual gaze, and speaker loudness to classify floor‑transfer events as gaps or overlaps. Results show that gaze features alone capture predictive structure, and combining them with loudness yields a robust classifier (ROC AUC = 0.76 ± 0.04) that remains effective even under noisy conditions.

LEXIC: Lightweight Eye-tracking eXtension via Injected Complexity

arXiv:2607. 08152v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: On the recent EyeBench benchmark, predicting reading comprehension from eye movements exposes a stark gap: text-aware models using pretrained language models reach 56--63% AUROC, while gaze-only models operate at chance.
