Abstract
Magazine Style Narrative Visualizations (MSNV) can be challenging due to the need to integrate textual and visual information. This problem has prompted researchers to design dynamic guidance meant to ease the mapping of the information provided in the two modalities. We contribute to this line of work by evaluating gaze-driven adaptive guidance that dynamically links relevant sentences in the text to the corresponding datapoints in the visualizations (see Fig. 1). We conducted a user study that involved participants reading a series of MSNVs extracted from real-world sources. Results show that the adaptive links significantly improve the comprehension of the MSNVs as compared to receiving no guidance. This improvement comes at no expense of user reading time, and is consistent regardless of the MSNV complexity.

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
