This paper presents the use of the notion of family resemblance in the area of machine learning as an example of the benefits that can accru...
متن کاملRevisiting facial resemblance in couples
It is widely believed that couples look alike.

However, it is unclear if facial similarity in couples shown in previous studies was solely driven by extrinsic features like hairstyle, glasses, etc. Also unclear is what attributes are perceived...

With the same matching to sample paradigm and stimulus sets as used by Parr and de Waal (1999), both humans and the PCA produced the same sex-biased kin recognition as that found with th...
