• Abstract summary: We demonstrate that by monitoring a user's gaze as they watch commonplace (i.e., not specialized, structured or coded) video, we can identify individuals with autism spectrum disorder. We recruited 35 autistic and 25 non-autistic individuals, and captured their gaze using an off-the-shelf eye tracker connected to a laptop. Within 15 seconds, our approach was 92.5% accurate at identifying individuals with an autism diagnosis.

• Abstract: Autism often remains undiagnosed in adolescents and adults. Prior research has indicated that an autistic individual often shows atypical fixation and gaze patterns. In this short paper, we demonstrate that by monitoring a user's gaze as they watch commonplace (i.e., not specialized, structured or coded) video, we can identify individuals with autism spectrum disorder. We recruited 35 autistic and 25 non-autistic individuals, and captured their gaze using an off-the-shelf eye tracker connected to a laptop. Within 15 seconds, our approach was 92.5% accurate at identifying individuals with an autism diagnosis. We envision such automatic detection being applied during e.g., the consumption of web media, which could allow for passive screening and adaptation of user interfaces.

  Autism, also known as Autism Spectrum Disorder (or ASD), is a neurological disorder. Its main symptoms include difficulty in (verbal and/or non-verbal) communication, and rigid/repetitive behavior. We present a learning based approach to automate autism diagnosis using simple and small action video clips of subjects.

  glaucoma is challenging to detect since it remains asymptomatic until the symptoms are severe. Early identification of glaucoma is generally made based on functional, structural, and clinical assessments. Deep learning methods have partially solved this dilemma by bypassing the marker identification stage and analyzing high-level information directly to classify the data.

  A formal autism diagnosis is an inefficient and lengthy process. One approach to this problem is to use digital technologies to detect the presence of behaviors related to autism. One of the strongest indicators of autism is stimming, which is a set of repetitive, self-stimulatory behaviors.

  This paper presents the development of a multimodal augmented reality (AR) system which combines the use of computer vision and deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) The proposed system, which we call AEGIS, is an assistive technology deployable on a variety of user devices including tablets, smartphones, video conference systems, or smartglasses. We leverage both spatial and temporal information in order to provide an accurate expression prediction, which is then converted into its corresponding visualization and drawn on top of the original video frame.
