Machine Learning Algorithms to Analyze Rodents Express Face Changes

Image
AI has revealed that mice have a range of facial expressions that show they feel — offering fresh clues about how emotional responses arise in human brains. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology in Germany made the discovery by recording the faces of lab mice when they were exposed to different stimuli, such as sweet flavors and electric shocks. The researchers then used machine learning algorithms to analyze how the rodents’ faces changed when they experienced different feelings. The software showed that their facial muscles would subtly shift as their emotions changed. Mice feeling pain pulled their ears back and puffed out their cheeks, while mice experiencing pleasure would push their jaw and ears forward, and pull their nose towards their mouths. The AI also revealed that their expressions varied depending on how they felt before receiving the stimuli. For example, when a thirsty mouse was given a sugary drink, its face showed more joy than a rodent whose thirst w...

Companies like Uber, Taskrabbit, and Instacart (to name just three based right here in San Francisco), leverage information technology as a part of the economic phenomenon, collaborative consumption. Does a “sharing economy” company pursue a different digital marketing strategy? And does it pay off? During the holidays, many of us think about travel. Which brings us to one of the originals in the sharing realm — another local company made good, Airbnb. Let’s compare Airbnb to a more traditional online travel agency (OTA). We’ll look at Priceline, founded in 1998 — exactly 10 years before Airbnb. We’ll start with a simple Site Comparison. One thing stands out about Airbnb: its users are far more engaged. Airbnb vs Priceline Time on Site Airbnb’s average “Time on Site” is more...
