With Blinkers on: Robust Prediction of Eye Movements across Readers

Franz Matthies, Anders Søgaard · 2013

Nilsson and Nivre (2009) introduced a treebased model of persons' eye movements in reading.The individual variation between readers reportedly made application across readers impossible.While a tree-based model seems plausible for eye movements, we show that competitive results can be obtained with a linear CRF model.Increasing the inductive bias also makes learning across readers possible.In fact we observe next-to-no performance drop when evaluating models trained on gaze records of multiple readers on new readers.
