The team then fed the images to its software, which analyzed the information to pick subtle trends about the features of these images that made them more or less memorable. Each image had received a “memorability score” based on human subjects’ abilities to recall them in a memory test.
The CSAIL researchers developed a collection of over 60,000 images that represents the world’s largest existing memorability dataset. You can also upload your own photos to see how memorable you and your friends are! (It's worth noting that the algorithm was optimized to focus on the memorability of images more generally, versus faces specifically.) Researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) have crunched the numbers on GOT characters using a special algorithm they developed that can predict how memorable an image will be.Ĭheck out the photo gallery above to count down Westeros’ most memorable personalities.
