        Pattern recognition for scanpaths
        Clustering of gaze date
        Event detection
        Large-scale data processing

    Prediction methods :
        Gaze prediction
        Action, intent, or attribute prediction

    Visualization :
        Visual representation of gaze patters and other eye tracking data
        Visual analytics and combination with machine learning

    Eye tracking devices :
        Head-mounted eye tracking
