Inferring Relevance from Eye Movements Challenge

The Challenge has opened at
http://www.cis.hut.fi/eyechallenge2005/

The results of the Challenge will be reported at NIPS 2005 workshop on Machine Learning for Implicit feedback and User Modeling
(See call for papers at http://www.cis.hut.fi/inips2005/). Authors of the best presentations will be invited to extend their talks into articles in a special issue of a journal.

The objective of the Challenge is to predict from eye movement data whether a reader finds a text relevant.

The scientific goals of the Challenge are:

• Advance machine learning methodology
• Find the best eye movement features
• To learn of the psychology underlying eye movements in search tasks

We are looking forward to an interesting competition!
