The control of torsional eye position is a key component of ocular motor function. Ocular torsion can be affected by pathologies that involve ocular motor pathways, spanning from the vestibular labyrinth of the inner ears to various regions of the brainstem and cerebellum. Timely and accurate diagnosis enables efficient interventions and management of each case which are crucial for patients with dizziness, vertical double vision, or imbalance. Such detailed evaluation of eye movements may not be possible in all frontline clinical settings, particularly for detecting torsional abnormalities. These abnormalities are often more challenging to identify at the bedside compared to horizontal or vertical eye movements. To address these challenges, we used a dataset of torsional eye movements recorded with video-oculography (VOG) to develop deep learning models for detecting ocular torsion. Our models achieve 0.9308 AUROC and 86.79 % accuracy, leveraging ocular features particularly pertinent to tracking torsional eye position.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
