Neural Networks Model Audience Reactions to Movies

A new artificial neural network can assess a viewer's reaction to movies based on patterns of facial expressions. With enough information, researchers say the ANN will be able to assess how an audience is reacting to a movie and predict an individual's response based on a few minutes of observation.
