Women's Attractiveness Judged by Software
Roland Piquepaille writes "According to Haaretz, an Israeli team of computer scientists has developed software that ranks facial attractiveness of women. Instead of identifying basic facial characteristics, this software has been designed to make aesthetic judgments — after training. The lead researcher said this program 'constitutes a substantial advance in the development of artificial intelligence.' It is interesting to note that the researchers focused on women only. Apparently, men' faces are more difficult to grade."

...and generate a manhood-size-prediction algorithm.
I swore I'd never spout that misogynist meme, but for once it bears a glimmer of truth.

Women's Attractiveness Judged by Software Engineers
There, fixed that title for you...
You shall see a cow on the roof of a cotton house.
I thought the true measure of a womans attractiveness was the pointiness of her knees
On the bright side, this should encourage more women to enter the science and engineering fields, if for no other reason than to crack into this system and perform the digital equivalent of dumping your cocktail on your head. I think training it to rank goatse as aesthetically pleasing would do the trick.
It should be illegal to say that freedom of speech should be limited.
I wonder how the algorithm works after the machine has had a few beers.
If you don't want crime to pay, let the government run it.
Out of 7!!! Who the #$%! ever said "Oh that chick is a 7, I need to do her now!"
Software should conform to the normal 10pt ranking scale damnit!
Software should conform to the normal 10pt ranking scale damnit! This is Slashdot. A seven is more than most of us can ever hope for.

Men have been judging women by their software for ages.
It goes from God, to Jerry, to me.
... so ... I guess this computer is straight.
The big question, what if the computer doing the rating was a fruit?
Then it would prefer bananas over a lovely pair of coconuts.
You just described something out of the x-files...Want to try again?

I may agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to face the consequences of saying it.
"Apparently, men' faces are more difficult to grade."
Because you don't keep your wallet on your face.
I can't believe the algorithm looks at faces. Obviously wasn't designed by a man.

I wonder how the algorithm works after the machine has had a few beers.
The algorithm works better, but the hardware fails.
Here's the revised version:
hotness_t is_good_looking_drunk(void* girl) {
return ID_TAP_THAT;
}
void hangover(void* girl) {
if(is_slashdotter(this) || girl == NULL) {
basement.exit();
new breakfast()->eat();
throw new moan();
}
try {
if(memory.search(LAST_NIGHT, "condom") || !is_good_looking_sober(girl)) {
exit(EXIT_QUIETLY);
} else throw new logic_error("Yeah right");
} catch (amnesia_error* e) {
aspirin* a = find(this->apartment(), T_ASPIRIN);
if(a == NULL) throw new moan();
else this->ingest(a);
}
}
GAAH! MY PRINTER IS ON FIRE!!! PUT IT OUT! PUT IT OUT!
Wow, I may end up being the most handsome man in the world. I've been repelling mates for many years past my teenage years.
Small potatoes make the steak look bigger.
Something I've noticed is the attractiveness of women is directly proportional to how insulted they are when a computer scientist asks them out.
You just made all of my social interactions with male peers for the past eight or nine years make sense in a handful of sentences, and for that I must thank you.
Damn that's hot. Got any more pics?
LOL. That's exactly what I was thinking!
:)
A male designed algorithm will be processing everything from the neck down
Ohhh, and the whole damn thing could BSOD on some DD's.....
