Faces and Mathematics - Facial Profiling

Dear PREP, 

This is our final day of week 3. I will introduce you to the concept of facial profiling. Mathematical algorithms are being used to analyze facial expressions to make determinations that can affect someone's well-being. You will also learn that asymmetrical facial expressions are being studied. 



You will write about faces and mathematics today in a 300 to 500 extended response. 

I want you to leave this week understanding that mathematics is not just a school subject, it is a tool for protection and decision-making.

Asymmetry is the lack of symmetry and balance. It is unbalanced, uneven, unequal, or one-sided. It is the fuel for hate, and the fundamental asymmetry of the first-person viewpoint contributes to humiliation, envy and jealousy.

Emotional asymmetry, researchers have demonstrated when we look at other people’s facial expression, we tend to imitate them in a subconscious (without thinking) manner through a process known as facial mimicry. If a person is unable to move half of their face, they will also have difficulty perceiving other people’s emotions. In an experiment, 57 patients watched a series of computer- generated faces as they showed expressions of happiness or anger. The use of computer-generated faces allowed us to control all dimensions of stimulus, from the timing of expression to it’s symmetry. Research shows that expressions which begin from the left side of the face come across as being more authentic (real) than those that start on the right. Facial profiling is the recording and analysis of a person’s facial characteristics, especially to assist in identifying an individual. Faception claims to have developed an algorithm that can help track down potential threats to society by simply looking at their faces. By analyzing a person’s face, the software is capable of determining whether the said person possesses certain genetic traits that make him a suitable candidate for criminal activity. The software can thus identify potential terrorist, sociopaths, white-collars and pedophiles by simply looking at their faces. According to faception, a person’s ability to commit crimes is determined by certain genes present in their DNA and revealed by certain visible features on their faces. By correctly analyzing a person’s facial features, the revolutionary software can thus determine if the said person possesses the ability and willingness to commit crime. The software correctly identified nine out 11 terrorist involved in the Paris attack without any prior knowledge, which allegedly landed the company a contract with US Department of Homeland Security. I my opinion I disagree with emotional asymmetry for the simple fact people are being judge by their facial expression. For an example if a person is mad about a situation in his life that is going on he’ll be judge by his facial expression and they are going to say he looks like a criminal and a threat because he looks mean. And I also disagree with facial profiling because in my opinion facial profiling is basically racial profiling. I think they should only use this system against terrorist, sociopaths, pedophiles and not your average criminal.

Asymmetry – lack of equality or equivalence between parts or aspects of
Something , Lack of symmetry. In the text Asymmetry in Social interactions
The author talks about the unequal sides of a human face and how one side of the
Human face can be different than the other side. Scientific research has demonstrated that when we look at other peoples facial expressions ,
We tend to imitate them in a subconscious ( without thinking ) manner
Through a process known as facial mimicry. From a personal point of view
I know about Asymmetry because on my right side of my face
My I have an lazy eye it doesn’t really open all the way its looks like its
Sleeping. My opinion on this is that people should feel good about them self
Flaws in all because what makes you Different is what Makes you, you.

Asymmetry- Lack of equality or equivalence between parts or aspects of something; lack of symmetry

In the text about Faces I learned Emotional Symmetry and Facial Profiling. Emotional symmetry is when a professional studies a person’s face the left and the right to let them know their emotions and see if they are being truthful. For example the left tells them that the person is being truthful and the right that he is not being very candid. In the text Facial Profiling I learned about Faception it’s claimed that the new tech is an algorithm that can help track down potential threats to society by simply looking at their faces. According to Faception a person’s ability to commit crime is determined by certain genes in their DNA and revealed by certain visible features on their face. The algorithm determines if the person has the ability and willingness to commit the crime in the first place. The person could have the perfect neuro-psychiatric traits but could be a completely law abiding citizen due to their own moral choices. I like to believe that the program Faception could prevent a lot of disasters in the future, for example a terrorist attacks. It could also stop a lot of criminals before they even commit a crime it could put a total new meaning to being safe.

or aspects of something; lack of symmetry. We can still take several preventive measure if we can target individuals who possess an innate knack for antisocial activity. In the same line of arguments , the software developed by faception can actually prove quite useful in tracking down and profiling specific individuals  in public areas such as airports, based on their affinity to crime. I think this is good for not only for the streets but for us too what I read in this passage about asymmetry is that a computer could find out who you are by a picture that has your face. This could help us find criminals people that are running away from the law or killers. Its crazy what technology could now in days. Technology could help us in mostly every thing we do like school work like math, reading, science, and graphs. Now in days you could even talk to you phone well only if it’s a iphone.  A computer could count how many words and letters you wrote. A computer could rate you too by tests scores and stuff I think now I days a computer checks your asat tests for students. I think People are trying to make this world to a future already theres robots in this planet already, scientist are now trying to figure out how to make a robot talk, walk, think, and act like us humans. There’s cars that park by there self or stops the car from crashing to some in front or from the back of the car is better and safer if your driving with a child in side your car technology is making life way easier and way more safer that the other years where we couldn’t do nothing to solve our problems.

In The Two Texts About Faces, I learned about emotional asymmetry  and facial profiling. Emotional asymmetry is when scientists study the right and left side of the face to capture In the text facial profiling I learned that In emotional asymmetry that researchers shows that expressions which begin from the left side of the face come across as being more authentic (real) that start on the right . According to Faception , its technology can analyze as  many as 100 faces per second , making it very useful in crowed areas like terminals and stations .The Algorithm developed by faception  helps it categorize unique individuals into 9 different “classifiers” based on their genetic and psychological traits. Faception  can tell if the said person is a potential buyer with an affinity to spend money , making it useful in commercial sectors as well . I Don’t Under Stand How Many scientist can tell you what you thinking about from your left side and right side of your face. I Would Like to Do a Experience On How to tell you  how You feel from the left side and right side  of your face.

  In The Two Texts About Faces, I Learned About Emotional Asymmetry And Facial Profiling. In The Text Facial Profiling I Learned That Faception Clams To Have Developed An Algorithm That Can Help Track Down Potential Threats To Society By Simply Looking At Their Faces. Also The Technology Seems Quite Ambitious In Its Own Might. However, That Hasn’t Stopped Several Experts From Claiming That The Algorithm Itself Is Bogus And Impractical, incapable Of Being Used In A Real World Situation. In The Text Emotional Asymmetry I Learned If  a person is unable to move half of their face, they will also have difficulty perceiving other people’s emotions. Also in an experiment, 57 patients watched a series of computer- generated faces as they showed expressions of happiness or anger. I Really Never Had A Experience Of Facial Profiling To Now I’m Really Interested And Studying This Now That I Know Its Going On. In My Eyes Facial Profiling Is Unfair, I Don’t Believe That Another Human Being Can Tell What I’m Up To By Looking At My Face Nor A Computer.
