Abstract:
Our global society is now uploading increasing volumes of photographs to the Internet, creating vast quantities of data on where we are and the environment we are spending time in. In this talk, I will describe recent work in which we investigate whether online photographs can give us new quantitative insight into human behaviour and wellbeing. I will outline a number of case studies, drawing on deep learning methods and more.
Tea/coffee and cakes from 2.45.
