ScanDL: A Diffusion Model for Generating Synthetic Scanpaths on Texts (2023.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Eye movements in reading are a key part of psycholinguistic research, but the lack of eye movement data and its unavailability at application time pose a major challenge for this line of research. |
| Approach: | They propose a novel sequence-to-sequence diffusion model that generates synthetic scanpaths on texts by leveraging pre-trained word representations and jointly embedding both the stimulus text and the fixation sequence. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms state-of-the-art models in psycholinguistic analysis and is able to exhibit human-like reading behavior. |
