Title: Gaze patterns predict preference and confidence in pairwise AI image evaluation

Abstract:
arXiv:2603.24849v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Preference learning methods, such as Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) and Direct Preference Optimization (DPO), rely on pairwise human judgments, yet little is known about the cognitive processes underlying these judgments. We investigate whether eye-tracking can reveal preference formation during pairwise AI-generated image evaluation. Thirty participants completed 1,800 trials while their gaze was recorded. We replicated the ga
