>The Walt Disney Company is using AI to determine how much audiences enjoy every single moment of their films.
>At IEEE’s Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition last weekend, Disney Research and Caltech explained their technique for tracking the facial expressions of people watching movies.
>The research team calls their new algorithm “factorized variational autoencoders” (FVAEs). They claim the technology is so effective at recognizing complex expressions that, after analyzing a single audience member’s face for about ten minutes, it can even predict that face’s future expressions throughout the remainder of a film.
>In order to build a dataset of millions of facial landmarks to feed into a neural network, researchers used infrared cameras to film the audiences of 150 showings of nine movies, including recent Disney films Star Wars: The Force Awaken, Zootopia, Inside Out, and Big Hero 6.
>The resulting AI system was then tested on other audiences. After it tracked moviegoers’ facial reaction patterns for a few minutes, FVAEs were then able to predict when they would smile or laugh (as tied to significant moments in the films), outperforming other methods of predictive analysis given far more data. As research progresses, FVAEs could also presumably track other emotions like fear and sadness.
>Critics, actors, and directors already complain that the demands of Hollywood studios are stripping directors of their creative control. Imagine what the production and editing process will be like once executives can use AI to ensure each scene evokes the appropriate response.
In other news: Disney is currently developing penis inspection scanners in order to see whether or not you are suitable for entry into their theaters.
Still want to go to the theater, Sup Forums?

What, you think they're use this expensive tech and set up multiple test audiences to cut and recut the movie over and over until it's optimal?
The actual process won't change a bit. They'll just use this on their normal test audiences to get a bit more specific feedback on what exactly they didn't like rather than relying on error-prone questionnaires.
Lincoln Miller
If you don't react positively to Star Wars: The Female Jedi, Disney will forward your photographs and psych profile to the authorities for being a suspected alt-righter.
Your face doesn't lie, goy.
Ryan Butler
Can it detect sexual arousal? So if all the males in the audience look aroused when, say, a Tomorrowland lolibot shows up, Disney will pander more to the pedo demographic in the future?
Carson Carter
unironically this also >black.muslim/female protag >disgust facial reaction >"oy vey they still haven't learned" >Disney announces Captain America recast one of above I want Skynet to hurry
Jayden Smith
What if I don't want my face scanned? What about privacy
Gavin Cruz
one problem would be they're only looking at people who would watch a disney movie in the first place, aka potatoes.
Samuel Torres
They don't need to put them in all of them, also not that expensive. Just a high res camera with low-light vision hooked to a PC.
Chase King
Disney is scaring me guys.
Samuel Gomez
I imagine if this is used then it will only be used in test screenings and you'll have to sign a waiver before the movie
Landon Gomez
My butthole tightens when I'm really enjoying a movie. Can we get anal probes too?
Justin Gray

You agreed when you walked in, goy.
Btw pics of you picking your nose become their property.

Lincoln Adams

Disney owns Star Wars now so you are probably going to get scanned, manchild.
Aaron Baker
So now they can perfect the Marvel formula completely?

Yea if you don't sign the waiver then you're not allowed in, if thats how it works then thats how it will go
test screenings are generally free
Jayden Brooks
In every movie until you like it.
Jace Hughes

Anthony Nelson
star wars watching potatoes is exactly who I meant, thanks for pointing that out.
John Cooper
Like they needed to give me any more reasons not to go to the theater.
Jayden Adams
wear a mask that looks like your face, but without the facial expressions.
Jordan Cruz
learn to read. They aren't going to drop this in a bunch of theaters, it's only going to be used in test screenings. If you're doing a test screening, you're signing and nda and a waiver before you even get in the theater
Benjamin Campbell
we are talking about hypotheticals you dense shit

Mark my words, this will be in every theater someday.

Jacob Clark
it makes our job easier. go to a disney movie, frown at all the diversity, then make a huge smile when white people are on screen
we'll undo political correctness in one weekend
Nathaniel Martinez
don't mind me
Brody Sanders
If they did this when they released the movie then they would have no chance to fix the movie, it makes no sense
Aaron Jones
I masturbate even more furiously now, realising that I'm doing something wrong and they're watching me. Also nice digits.
Dylan Walker
Bad idea, seeing as people who watch their superhero movies have autism and none of them know how to accurately portray emotions.
Still, might mean they stop making that trash so I'm all for it
Eli Stewart
It's not about that movie, it's about its sequel and companies that want to make "cinematic universes" or trilogies using it to make future movies. Retard.
Anthony Johnson
And why would they spend money installing expensive equipment in every theatre instead of using a normal sample size? Retard.
Jeremiah Jenkins

Bullshit. You have German, Irish, and Red filth running through your veins. It's why you celebrate black men ravaging your mongrel women, as there is no purity to be violated by that animalistic union.

That's rich coming from an America-obsessed britcuck that can't help but bring up blacks into every conversation. Again, enjoy your caliphate.

You sure have a lot of freedom. You got freedom from: chocolate eggs, helping someone without getting sued, being white, owning a silencer without being on FEMA's hit list, and healthcare if you're a goy.

Likely won't be used in theaters for typical screenings. It'll more likely be supplemental for when they do test screenings just so they know how to edit a film or how to market it since, if you've never been to an early screening of a movie that's not in a finished state, all they give you is a single sheet of paper that basically asks what statistics you fall into and what you liked and disliked in a handful of sentences.
Jayden Gutierrez
