There are some studies I believe that show even attractive african american women can have trouble with low click through / match / rating on dating sites.
So if the model was trained on who folks wanted to date (as a measure of attractiveness) the model could still be somewhat accurate, even though not accurately measuring attractiveness.
How would models work on rating who would be a good NBA player / runner etc. I wonder if just being white would get me downrated.
- BoorishBears 4y agoAre you missing the part where the model gave two scores for the same picture based on extreme desaturation? Terrible pictures don't make you more attractive on dating sites... It's just a bad model. There's bound to be bias in the model but ML 101 would be randomize saturation and hue on your training set
- tempnow987 4y agoFair enough. That said, I wouldn't jump to conclusions on how things like saturation or desaturation play into ratings, a lot of instagram filters for example have an a desaturation effect which makes me wonder if folks like that as a look. I don't personally. Very well could be a bad model, but sometimes there are underlying factors that result in these bad models from the training set. And no, it's no ML 101 to randomize elements of your input in the training set, though if you want a broadly applicable model you'd look to have inputs that include a variety of hue and saturation (perhaps that's what you meant - I have seen folks though manually start doing things like randomize hue in the set, where the ratings were on the original image).
