AI project models first impressions based on facial features - ScienceDaily - Verve times
When two people meet, they instantly size each other up, making snap judgments about everything from the other person’s age to their intelligence or trustworthiness based solely on the way they look. Those first impressions, though often inaccurate, can be extremely powerful, shaping our relationships and impacting everything from hiring decisions to criminal sentencing. Researchers […]

There’s a wide body of research that focuses on modeling the physical appearance of people’s faces. We’re bringing that together with human judgments and using machine learning to study people’s biased first impressions of one another.

The algorithm doesn’t provide targeted feedback or explain why a given image evokes a particular judgment. But even so it can help us to understand how we’re seen — we could rank a series of photos according to which one makes you look most trustworthy, for instance, allowing you to make choices about how you present yourself.
