  • 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. Given a photo of your face, we can use this algorithm to predict what people’s first impressions of you would be, and which stereotypes they would project onto you when they see your face. The algorithm doesn’t provide targeted feedback or explain why a given image evokes a particular judgment.
