AI Article Synopsis
- Advances in machine learning technology are enhancing our understanding of how people perceive aging faces, focusing on attractiveness and gender traits.
- Researchers conducted eight surveys with 315 respondents who rated photos of progressively aged faces on attractiveness and gender characteristics.
- Results showed that women’s attractiveness and femininity decline significantly after age 40, while men's attractiveness remains stable until around age 50, highlighting different perceptions of aging in men and women.
Article Abstract
Advances in machine learning age progression technology offer the unique opportunity to better understand the public's perception on the aging face. To compare how observers perceive attractiveness and traditional gender traits in faces created with a machine learning model. Eight surveys were developed, each with 10 sets of photographs that were progressively aged with a machine learning model. Respondents rated attractiveness and masculinity or femininity of each photograph using a sliding scale (range: 0-100). Mean attractiveness scores were calculated and compared between men and women as well as between age groups. A total of 315 respondents (51% men, 49% women) completed the survey. Accuracy of the facial age progression model was 85%. Females were considered significantly less attractive (-10.43, < 0.01) and less feminine (-7.59, < 0.01) per decade with the greatest drop over age 40 years. Male attractiveness and masculinity were relatively preserved until age 50 years where attractiveness scores were significantly lower (-5.45, = 0.39). In this study, observers were found to perceive attractiveness at older ages differently between men and women.

Quantum optical networks are instrumental in addressing the fundamental questions and enable applications ranging from communication to computation and, more recently, machine learning (ML). In particular, photonic artificial neural networks (ANNs) offer the opportunity to exploit the advantages of both classical and quantum optics. Photonic neuro-inspired computation and ML have been successfully demonstrated in classical settings, while quantum optical networks have triggered breakthrough applications such as teleportation, quantum key distribution and quantum computing.

Facial landmarks, widely studied in human affective computing, are beginning to gain interest in the animal domain. Specifically, landmark-based geometric morphometric methods have been used to objectively assess facial expressions in cats, focusing on pain recognition and the impact of breed-specific morphology on facial signaling. These methods employed a 48-landmark scheme grounded in cat facial anatomy.
