Researcher Trying To Teach Computer What Women He's Attracted To
jfruh writes: Harm de Vries, a post-doctoral researcher at the Université de Montréal, is trying to build an algorithm that will sort through pictures on Tinder and OKCupid and pick out women he'll find attractive. "Tinder kept giving me pictures of girls I wasn't attracted to," he said in a phone interview. "So I wondered if I could use deep learning." His program, built using deep learning techniques, has about a 68 percent success rate, which isn't that bad. (A human friend to whom de Vries described his preferences managed 76 percent.)
Let me guess: female and alive.
"-1 Troll" is the apparently the same as "-1 I disagree with you."
...wait, opps, wrong de vries....
I usually just type in "blonde Thai ladyboy" into the search box and the results are almost 100% what I'm looking for.
Is that so hard?
SJW's don't eliminate discrimination. They just expropriate it for themselves.
The guy is creating a profile selection algorithm to sift through mostly fake algorithmically generated profiles because the fake profile site's own selection algorithm is inadequate.....
Sexbots are going to be really, really popular.
Maw! Fire up the karma burner!
Here's a pro tip: The picture with the kid wearing a "Class of 1990" t-shirt in the background is probably not an honest reflection of what she really looks like.

I can't believe he's having something do that for him when there's something willing to tirelessly look out for his happiness right there. Maybe one day he'll realize he had love right in front of him, and he and Eliza/Alice v.2 or whatever he's calling his algorithm can live a happy, long life together.
Let's see if he can use deep learning to filter only the women that would have anything to do with someone who would do this.
Researcher Trying To Teach Computer What Women He's Attracted To
Well, at least he's trying something new. The usual, and completely wrongheaded, approach a computer nerd uses when trying to get laid is to try to teach women he's attracted to about computers.
