INFERRING RELEVANCE FROM EYE MOVEMENTS CHALLENGE 2005


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

The scientific goals are:

 * To advance machine learning methodology
 * To find the best eye movement features
 * To learn of the psychology underlying eye movements in search tasks

The results will be presented in a workshop. We will do our best to
arrange it in connection with a major conference. Authors of the best
presentations will be invited to extend their talks into articles in a
special issue of a journal.
