Using Deep Learning to 'See' Inside Homes Across the World - The Good Men Project

How much does someone's living room tell about how they live? Peeking into another person's life might be just part of natural human curiosity, but the answer to this question may provide insights in a wide range of aspects of human behavior. A new study published in EPJ Data Science uses the power of machine learning to explore patterns of home decors--and what they could tell about their owners--in popular accommodation website Airbnb. The Internet has provided the world with more images than can be viewed in a lifetime. Some sites, like Craigslist, Zillow, and Airbnb, specifically let us see the interiors of peoples' homes, nests of revealing human creativity, design, style and culture.
