Session 2 Details
Are beautiful environments good for our health and happiness? In session 2 Fall 2021 of the CIVICA Data Science Seminar Series, Prof. Suzy Moat of Warwick Business School will describe how millions of ratings from an online game called ‘Scenic-or-Not’ and a mobile app called ‘Mappiness’ have begun to offer new answers to this age-old question. Prof. Moat will explain how deep learning can help us understand whether beautiful places are simply natural places - or whether humans might be able to build beautiful places too.
