The training techniques used here are in general very standard ones (although the dissonance filters were a nice touch). For a higher score on this metric, we would have expected more careful work to increase the stability of self-evaluation and/or the accuracy of the judgments.
Novelty: 7⁄10
While the initial premise was a novel one to us, we thought that more new ideas could have been incorporated into this entry in order for it to score more highly on this metric. For example, the “outliers” in the entry’s predictions were a missed opportunity to communicate an underlying pattern. Similarly, the instability of the self-evaluation could have been incorporated into the entry in some clearer way.
Artistry: 9⁄10
We consider the piece a fascinating concept—one which forces the judges to confront the automatability of their own labors. Holding a mirror to the faces of viewers is certainly a classic artistic endeavor. We also appreciated the artistic irony of the entry’s inability to perceive itself.
