What Hacker News says

This has been done! It’s the paper I first looked at for this task: https://github.com/rehg-lab/eye-contact-cnn They create this CNN for exactly this task, autism diagnosis in children. I suppose this model would work for babies too. Edit: ah I see your point, in the paper they diagnose autism with eye contact, but your point is a task closer to what my model does. It could definelty be augmented for such a task, we’d just need to improve the accuracy. The only issue I see is sourcing training data might be tricky, unless I partner with some institution researching this. If you know of anyone in this field I’d be happy to speak with them.
