Using plain, but large multi-layer perceptrons, temporal eye-tracking gaze patterns of alphabetic and logographic L1 readers were successfully classified. The Eye-tracking data was fed directly into the networks, with no need for pre-processing. Classification rates up to 92% were achieved using MLPs with 4 hidden units. By classifying the gaze patterns of interaction partners, artificial systems are able to act adaptively in a broad variety of application fields.
