Infinite Gaze Generation for Videos with Autoregressive Diffusion

Predicting human gaze in video is fundamental to advancing scene understanding and multimodal interaction. While traditional saliency maps provide spatial probability distributions and scanpaths offer ordered fixations, both abstractions often collapse the fine-grained temporal dynamics of raw gaze. Furthermore, existing models are typically constrained to short-term windows (≈ 3-5s), failing to capture the long-range behavioral dependencies inherent in real-world content. We present a generative framework for infinite-horizon raw gaze prediction in videos of arbitrary length. By leveraging an autoregressive diffusion model, we synthesize gaze trajectories characterized by continuous spatial coordinates and high-resolution timestamps. Our model is conditioned on a saliency-aware visual latent space. Quantitative and qualitative evaluations demonstrate that our approach significantly outperforms existing approaches in long-range spatio-temporal accuracy and trajectory realism.
