Yet models now reach hundreds of billions of parameters, so even rank-1 LoRA can be too heavy for mobile hardware or labs with little compute. The authors ask how a very small, fixed budget of trainable parameters should be… 2. **[Predicting Gaze Location without Camera or Eye-Tracker](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/rezapoor-2026-predicting-gaze-location-without-camera/)** *(2026)* Eye-trackers and webcams can estimate where a reader is looking on a web page, but most users lack such devices or decline to be filmed for privacy reasons. ## All works 6 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Topological Field Parsing of German ↗](https://aclanthology.org/P09-1008/) Proceedings of the Joint Conference of the 47th Annual Meeting of the ACL and the 4th International Joint Conference on Natural Language Processing of the AFNLP · no summary yet**Jackie Chi Kit Cheung, Gerald Penn*2009 · 21 citations* 2. **[Tiny Budgets, Big Gains: Parameter Placement Strategy in Parameter Super-Efficient Fine-Tuning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhao-2025-tiny-budgets-big-gains-parameter/) [Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/)**Jinman Zhao, Xueyan Zhang, Jiaru Li, et al.*2025 · 8 citations* 3. **[Indexing Spoken Documents with Hierarchical Semantic Structures: Semantic Tree-to-string Alignment Models ↗](https://aclanthology.org/I11-1057/) Proceedings of 5th International Joint Conference on Natural Language Processing · no summary yet**Xiaodan Zhu, Colin Cherry, Gerald Penn*2011 · 2 citations* 4. **[Predicting Gaze Location without Camera or Eye-Tracker](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/rezapoor-2026-predicting-gaze-location-without-camera/) [fo the International Workshop on Eye-Tracking Resources and Evaluation for Human-Aligned NLP](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/gaze4nlp/)**Saman Rezapoor, Sajad Shirali-Shahreza, Gerald Penn*2026* 5. **[FAB: The French Absolute Beginner Corpus for Pronunciation Training ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2020.lrec-1.815/) Proceedings of the Twelfth Language Resources and Evaluation Conference · no summary yet**Sean Robertson, Cosmin Munteanu, Gerald Penn*2020* 6. **[The Quantitative Study of Writing Systems ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2010.jeptalnrecital-invite.3/) Actes de la 17e conférence sur le Traitement Automatique des Langues Naturelles.
