K. Sarmla investigated trust detection using facial expression towards developing a trust prediction model, for her Masters. In general, behavioral judgement of an individual and decisions on whether to interact or not are highly influenced by trust. Many trust and reputation models were developed in the past but based only on numeric paradigm. The desire to trust is subjective to each individual and is found to be highly affected by one’s facial features. However, do expressions play a role? This serve as the motivation for her to study the effect of human’s facial expressions on trustworthiness of a person by using deep learning based algorithm – Convolutional Neural Network (CNN).
