Facial attractiveness of cleft patients: a direct comparison between artificial-intelligence-based scoring and conventional rater groups

European Journal of Orthodontics

Abstract

To evaluate facial attractiveness of treated cleft patients and controls by artificial intelligence (AI) and to compare these results with panel ratings performed by laypeople, orthodontists, and oral surgeons. Frontal and profile images of 20 treated left-sided cleft patients (10 males, mean age: 20.5 years) and 10 controls (5 males, mean age: 22.1 years) were evaluated for facial attractiveness with dedicated convolutional neural networks trained on >17 million ratings for attractiveness and compared to the assessments of 15 laypeople, 14 orthodontists, and 10 oral surgeons performed on a visual analogue scale (n = 2323 scorings). AI evaluation of cleft patients (mean score: 4.75 ± 1.27) was comparable to human ratings (laypeople: 4.24 ± 0.81, orthodontists: 4.82 ± 0.94, oral surgeons: 4.74 ± 0.83) and was not statistically different (all Ps ≥ 0.19). Facial attractiveness of controls was rated significantly higher by humans than AI (all Ps ≤ 0.02), which yielded lower scores than in cleft subjects. Variance was considerably large in all human rating groups when considering cases separately, and especially accentuated in the assessment of cleft patients (coefficient of variance-laypeople: 38.73 ± 9.64, orthodontists: 32.56 ± 8...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
