New DREAMS dataset explores user engagement and attention states

Researchers have introduced the Diverse Reactions of Engagement and Attention Mind States (DREAMS) dataset, which comprises facial video recordings of 32 users engaged with various stimuli. The dataset aims to explore the relationship between user engagement and attention by framing it as a classification problem across single-task, transfer learning, and multi-task settings. Findings indicate that transfer and multi-task learning yield better classification performance for engagement states compared to single-task learning, and higher engagement and attention correlate with reduced cognitive load and improved task performance. The dataset and associated code are publicly available. AI

IMPACT This dataset could advance research in understanding and classifying user engagement and attention, potentially leading to more adaptive and effective learning systems.
