From smoothly pursuing moving objects to rapidly shifting gazes during visual search, humans employ a wide variety of eye movement strategies in different contexts. While eye movements provide a rich window into mental processes, building…
High-frequency gaze data contains more user-specific information than low-frequency data, promising for various applications. However, existing gaze modelling methods focus on low-frequency data, ignoring user-specific subtle eye movements…
Disentangling facial movements from other facial characteristics, particularly from facial identity, remains a challenging task, as facial movements display great variation between individuals. In this paper, we aim to characterize…
