Researchers have introduced EyeVLM, a new framework to evaluate how well vision-language models (VLMs) understand human gaze and attention. The framework assesses two key tasks: gaze following, which requires precise visual and spatial reasoning, and social gaze prediction, which relies more on semantic understanding of interactions. Initial results indicate that current VLMs struggle with accurate gaze understanding, even after fine-tuning, and still lag behind specialized visual models. AI
