Predict Marriage from Smiles Decades Earlier?
According to scientists it is possible to predict whose marriages will fail by looking at photographs taken decades earlier
According to the paper, they estimate intensity of smile by summing the FACS coding intensity (neutral:0, A-E:1-5) of AU6+AU12.
Study 1: Photos of 300 married subjects are collected from college yearbook. Among them, 55 were divorced.
Study 2: Childhood photos (age 5-22) provided by 55 subjects.
Logistic Regression was used to learn the predicative model (Divorced?) ~ (Smile Intensity).
There is no performance measurement except for some significance tests.

In the two years since then, he said, CB2 has taught itself how to walk with the aid of a human and can now move its body through a room quite smoothly, using 51 “muscles” driven by air pressure.
