We used ML and assumptions like: "Group photos are an indicator of happiness" to guess if a person is depressed.
God help the millennials. The only winning move is not to play.
- computerex 9y agoThey didn't use that as an indicator of depression. All they did was pass into the model the number of faces in the frame. The analysis afterwards suggested that depressed people tend to not have group photos.
- baby 9y agoShit, I don't have group photos :(
- 0xptr 9y agoI guess I should photoshop more people in my stock facebook placeholder :^(
- coldtea 9y agoDo you also have the other markers? It's not like a single marker determines everything. It's not even like having ALL markers means one is 100% depressed. It merely gives you a confidence score in the person being depressed.
- a_t48 9y agoOn the other hand, if you do have all the markers, maybe you should step back and consider.
- EGreg 9y agoWell doh People who don't hang out with other people are more at risk for depression AND they are less likely to have group photos. This is called a latent variable.
- mertd 9y agoNot latent since you can directly measure it. You are thinking of confounding variable.
