Abstract
This research paper explores the effectiveness of user emotional experience as a predictor for future returning of the user to the website. Traditional web analytics have been limited in their ability to accurately capture the nuances of user experiences. Methods like eye tracking, speech tracking, and surveys, while insightful, often suffer from being overly intrusive, leading to biased results. This study introduces a state of the art, nonintrusive method of measuring user experience: touch‐gesture based emotion measurement. This technique leverages the subconscious nature of touch gestures to gather emotional data, allowing for a more authentic and unbiased user interaction with websites. To leverage this method, we first gained explicit data collection consent and gathered browsing data from 164,527 users across a 1‐year period on a Canadian e‐commerce website visited from a touchscreen device. While the sample size is significantly large, the sample is primarily made up of visitors from Canada, which could limit generalization of the findings. Using this data, we implemented an AI model which predicts whether a user is likely to return to the website or not, primarily based on their emotional touch gestures on their first visit with an accuracy of 91.7%. This approach not only enhances our understanding of user engagement but also opens new avenues for optimizing user experience in untested digital spaces such as e‐learning and mental health.

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
