It says I'm either stunning or hot in the 4 photos I tried. Is that real? I don't really get oogled by women or anything like that. http://imgur.com/Td11aoI Yeah this site is bogus. So many inconsistent ratings.

Humans are inconsistent as well. We also use attributes beyond looks.

Anyone tried a picture with larged amounts of cash in the background?

When I put a picture of myself that had the contrast turned up my picture was rated "godlike", when I put in the original picture it was rated "hot", and when I turned down the contrast some it was rated "ok." I'm an unhealthy, almost pasty shade of white with a slightly bulbous nose and a classic fivehead. Now, this a problem for bigger reasons: An older picture of Denzel Washington gets an ok: http://imgur.com/Li0g…

If people are not mature enough to understand that a machine learning algorithm cannot be racist, shouldn't you go educate them instead of telling people not to offend these idiots?

Secondly what makes you think that every race is equally attractive universally? Studies have people find people of their own race more attractive. If whites are more attractive (either by their training set or user base ratings) doesn't that merely reflect the composition of their user base?

Oh hey, I worked on something similar two years ago: http://www.FaceMyAge.com (note, the age estimator has been taken offline - because, 2 years ago).

A lot of the issues our estimator (just an age estimator) ran into were the standard face recognition problems: occlusion, lighting, and (the obvious) bogus images.

Anyone involved, what data set was the attractiveness scale built from(Labelled Faces in the Wild Dataset (http://vis-www.cs.umass.edu/lfw/))?

You have very poor reading comprehension skills, or else you appended your comment to the wrong post. Almost no part of what you're saying corresponds to anything that I said.

PS: Giving some solid advice to public-facing startups looking for funding. Definitely take the autistic high-ground on every issue. Investors don't care about bad PR, they only care about abstract principles of truth as you understand them.

Hi, I'm Rasmus and worked on the algorithms behind faces.ethz.ch. If you have any technical questions, let me know! Sorry for having some stability issues, we got much more traffic than expected and are currently working hard to fix everything!

None of the images I am uploading are working. It is saying it cannot detect a face on any of them. Is this a masking of the stability error or some other issue?

It is trying to let you know that you are not quite human.

http://i.imgur.com/Lq648My.png Well, there goes my last ounce of self esteem. If anyone needs me I'll be sitting in the corner with one of those criminal hacker ski masks while I work on open source stuff.

It's only relevant if you are interested in dating a robot...

Very brave of you to put the founder photos on the front page...

You've got to admire their honesty for not putting an image matching algorithm in to automatically say the founders are hot! https://goo.gl/photos/jv82LHNQKxrt1Ce88

I wonder if they were included in the training set...

Get rid of the headphones and try again

Of course I tried a bunch of pictures of myself, just as everybody at HN is doing, ha ha! I didn't get above the nice level. First picture of my wife she immediately got the godlike level. Unfair advantage!! "Before performing any experiments we removed underage people, anyone over 37 and bi- and homosexual users as these comprise only a small minority of the dataset." That's already biasing it of course! "Interestin…

Yes, this was the data we worked with for attractiveness modeling. The algorithm learns from millions of ratings from males to females and from females to males, all heterosexuals. No underage or above 37 years old, and mostly people from Zurich area, Switzerland. For age and gender prediction we use more and diverse data.
