Abstract
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and other human-machine automation systems should be able to accurately recognize and adapt to the cognitive load of the user. For effective human-machine automation, it is important to develop techniques to automatically predict the cognitive load, based on data from non-invasive and low-cost sensors, such as eye-trackers. In this paper, we investigate the use of machine learning (ML) to classify the cognitive load of a participant performing n-back tasks. The ML models are trained using a large number of raw eye-tracking metrics. Our results demonstrate that tree-based algorithms are able to quickly predict cognitive load with a high degree of accuracy compared to other methods, indicating their potential usefulness for real-time applications.
