MambaGaze: Bidirectional Mamba with Explicit Missing Data Modeling for Cognitive Load Assessment from Eye-Gaze Tracking Data
Researchers have developed MambaGaze, a new framework designed to accurately assess cognitive load using eye-gaze tracking data. This system utilizes bidirectional Mamba-2 to efficiently model long-range temporal dependencies and an XMD encoding method to explicitly handle missing data, such as that caused by blinks. MambaGaze demonstrated superior performance over existing models on benchmark datasets and is feasible for real-time deployment on edge devices like NVIDIA Jetson platforms. AI
