We will be demonstrating our SYMBIOTIK prototype at the European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI), to be held in Bologna between the 27th and 30th of October 2025. We are looking forward to discussing with ECAI attendees (mostly researchers and practitioners) about SYMBIOTIK. At ECAI, the main objective of demo papers is to disseminate recent …
The 2025 ACM Symposium on Eye Tracking Research and Applications (ETRA), the premier conference in the field of eye-tracking, was held in Tokyo, Japan, from May 26th to May 29th. The event brought together researchers and practitioners to explore cutting-edge developments and innovative applications shaping the future of eye-tracking technology. It was a great experience, …
To better understand the potential of cognitive data in improving machine learning models, specifically Large Language Models (LLMs), we propose GazeReward, an innovative framework for aligning LLMs with human preferences by incorporating eye-tracking (ET) data into reward modeling. LLMs like GPT-4 [1], Llama 3 [2], and others have revolutionized Natural Language Processing (NLP), excelling in …

The Centre Tecnològic de Telecomunicacions de Catalunya (CTTC) organized an international training school in collaboration with Teleco Renta for early-stage researchers, including PhD students and postdocs, to inform them about the latest advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning, and their interplay with telecommunication systems. On May 16, the scientific research group of Telefónica Innovación …
Conventionally, control of computing devices has been done through manual interaction, mostly in the form of using a mouse and keyboard. As technology evolves we observe additional ways of interacting with the machine, i.e. motion sensors, speech recognition, eye tracking etc, enhancing the capabilities and experience of the user. The next step to this evolution …

Automation is at the heart of most technologies we use in our daily life, with applications ranging from automotive (e.g., manual vs. automatic transmission system and autopilots) and household appliances (e.g., kettle, washing machine) to industrial machinery and healthcare systems (e.g., patient monitoring, autonomous surgery). Reducing the need for human intervention in automated processes brings …
