contents Head-mounted devices integrated with eye tracking promise a solution for natural human-computer interaction. However, they typically require per-user calibration for optimal performance due to inter-person variability. A differential personalization approach using Siamese architectures learns relative gaze displacements and reconstructs absolute gaze from a small set of calibration frames. In this paper, we benchmark Siamese personalization on polarization-enabled eye tracking. For benchmarking, we use a 338-subject dataset captured with a polarization-sensitive camera and 850 nm illumination. We achieve performance comparable to linear calibration with 10-fold fewer samples. Using polarization inputs for Siamese personalization reduces gaze error by up to 12% compared to near-infrared (NIR)-based inputs. Combining Siamese personalization with linear calibration yields further improvements of up to 13% over a linearly calibrated baseline. These results establish Siamese personalization as a practical approach enabling accurate eye tracking.
