The Low/High Index of Pupillary Activity (LHIPA), an eye-tracked measure of pupil diameter oscillation, is redesigned and implemented to function in real-time. The novel Real-time IPA (RIPA) is shown to discriminate cognitive load in re-streamed data from earlier experiments. Rationale for the RIPA is tied to the functioning of the human autonomic...

Reading plays a vital role in updating the researchers on recent developments in the field, including but not limited to solutions to various problems and collaborative studies between disciplines. Prior studies identify reading patterns to vary depending on the level of expertise of the researcher on the content of the document. We present a pilot...

Our subjective visual experiences involve complex interaction between our eyes, our brain, and the surrounding world. It gives us the sense of sight, color, stereopsis, distance, pattern recognition, motor coordination, and more. The increasing ubiquity of gaze-aware technology brings with it the ability to track gaze and pupil measures with varyin...

When conducting eye tracking studies, having a mechanism to collect data, build workflows, and validate results in a FAIR (i.e., findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable) manner, facilitates automation. Given the vast landscape of vendor-specific eye tracking software, adopting FAIR metadata standards for the eye tracking domain is one ste...

Eye-tracking experiments involve areas of interest (AOIs) for the analysis of eye gaze data. While there are tools to delineate AOIs to extract eye movement data, they may require users to manually draw boundaries of AOIs on eye tracking stimuli or use markers to define AOIs. This paper introduces two novel techniques to dynamically filter eye move...

The vastness of the web imposes a prohibitive cost on building large-scale search engines with limited resources. Crawl frontiers thus need to be optimized to improve the coverage and freshness of crawled content. In this paper, we propose an approach for modeling the dynamics of change in the web using archived copies of webpages. To evaluate its...

Adolescents with Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have difficulty processing speech with background noise due to reduced inhibitory control and working memory capacity (WMC). This paper presents a pilot study of an audiovisual Speech-In-Noise (SIN) task for young adults with ADHD compared to age-matched controls using eye-tracking me...

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the common psychiatric disorder in childhood, which can continue to adulthood. The ADHD diagnosed population has been increasing, causing a negative impact on their families and society. This paper addresses the effective identification of ADHD in early stages. We have used a rule-based appr...

ADHD is being recognized as a diagnosis which persists into adulthood impacting economic, occupational, and educational outcomes. There is an increased need to accurately diagnose and recommend interventions for this population. One consideration is the development and implementation of reliable and valid outcome measures which reflect core diagnos...

ADHD is being recognized as a diagnosis that persists into adulthood impacting educational and economic outcomes. There is an increased need to accurately diagnose this population through the development of reliable and valid outcome measures reflecting core diagnostic criteria. For example, adults with ADHD have reduced working memory capacity (WM...

Microservices architecture is widely adopted in modern systems when scalability and code maintainability is a concern. It is more flexible than monolithic architecture and ensures a smooth transition into cloud-native environments. This paper presents a novel approach to model both business processes and domain knowledge in a unified specification...
