Abstract
A key challenge for information visualization designers lies in developing systems that best support users in terms of their individual abilities, needs, and preferences. However, most visualizations require users to first gather a certain set of skills before they can efficiently process the displayed information. This paper presents a first step towards designing visualizations that provide personalized support in order to ease the so-called 'learning curve' during a user's skill acquisition phase. We present prediction models, trained on users' gaze data, that can identify if users are still in the skill acquisition phase or if they have gained the necessary abilities. The paper first reveals that users exhibit the learning curve even during the usage of simple information visualizations, and then shows that we can generate reasonably accurate predictions about a user's skill acquisition using solely their eye gaze behavior.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
