Predicting ASD diagnosis in children with synthetic and image-based eye gaze data

作者:

Highlights:

• Atypical visual attention associated with autism spectrum disorders can be studied through eye gaze behavior of children at a very young age.

• Autistic gaze viewing patterns in a free-viewing paradigm studied using computer vision.

• Correlation between scan-path fixations and high-level image semantics extracted through deep learning result in ASD prediction accuracy up to 62%

• Study finds significant class differences by applying machine learning to raw scan-path fixations and duration; verification on larger dataset needed.
