Publication number: 20250258543Abstract: Calibration of eye tracking is improved by collecting additional calibration pairs when user is using apps with eye tracking. A user input component is presented on a display of an electronic device, detecting a dwelling action for user input component, and in response to detecting the dwelling action, obtaining a calibration pair comprising an uncalibrated gaze point and a screen location of the user input component, wherein the uncalibrated gaze point is determined based on an eye pose during the dwelling action. A screen gaze estimation is determine based on the uncalibrated gaze point, and in response to determining that the calibration pair is a valid calibration pair, training a calibration model using the calibration pair.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2025Publication date: August 14, 2025Inventors: Jeffrey P. Bigham, Mingzhe Li, Samuel C. White, Xiaoyi Zhang, Qi Shan, Carlos E. Guestrin

Publication number: 20210089887Abstract: A method includes determining a training scale for training a machine-learning model, defining a group of worker nodes having a number of worker nodes that is selected according to the training scale, and determining an average gradient of a loss function during a training iteration using the group of worker nodes. The method also includes determining a variance value for the average gradient of the loss function, determining a gain ratio based on the variance value for the average gradient of the loss function, and determining a learning rate parameter based on a learning rate schedule and the gain ratio. The method also includes determining updated parameters for the machine-learning model using the learning rate parameter and the average gradient of the loss function.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2020Publication date: March 25, 2021Inventors: Tyler B.
