New method probes AI scanpath interpretation with perturbation profiles

Researchers have developed a new method called perturbation profiles to better understand how AI models interpret scanpath data. This technique involves systematically altering specific properties of scanpaths, such as fixation order or duration, and observing the impact on classification accuracy. The study profiled nine different scanpath descriptors across multiple datasets, revealing sensitivities and robust features, with a Python package released to facilitate this analysis. AI

IMPACT Provides a novel method for evaluating the interpretability of AI models in analyzing human gaze data.

    Characterizing Scanpath Decoding Pipelines with Perturbation Profiles

    arXiv:2611.11632v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: When a scanpath descriptor supports a classification, it is rarely clear what the classification rests on. We propose perturbation profiles. Five transformations each target one stated property of every scanpath (fixation order,…
