Dear BERGers,

This week at BERG our speaker is Anthony Lee who will be giving the following talk:

“A data-driven approach to human mate preferences”.

Abstract: Previous research investigating human mate preferences has often used a theory-driven approach; however, this can be limiting as only traits predicted by existing theories can be investigated. I will present data from two papers where complementing traditional theory-driven research with data-driven techniques can help gain unique insight into human mate preference. The first analysis investigates women's facial attractiveness, while the second analysis focuses on written descriptions from online dating profiles.

Our meeting is at the usual time and venue: 5.30 p.m. in the Common Room (3A94), with drinks and nibbles as always.
