Recent Research Activities

WebQAmGaze dataset

Our new corpus of webcam eye-tracking-while-reading is now available here. It can be used for a range of topics, including how to learn human rationales from gaze patterns.

EU COST Action approved

Take a look at our newly approved MutliplEYE COST Action on enabling multilingual eye-tracking data collection for human and machine language processing research.

The Copenhagen Eye Tracking Corpus (CopCo)

CopCo, the Danish eye tracking corpus from natural reading is finally available here (and will continue to grow)! Upcoming LREC 2022 publication now out.
