AI can predict when relationship will end by couple's tone of voice

Researchers at the University of Southern California last week published a study involving artificial intelligence (AI) and love relationships between humans. With recordings made by psychologists in couples therapies, they were able to train intelligent software to recognize patterns in tone of voice and speaking moments. Once this was done, the data were crossed over the length of time that the surveyed couples were still together after making the recordings.

In the end, the researchers were able to make AI guess how soon other analyzed couples would end up.

"Our experiment, using data from a clinical-longitudinal study of couples in difficult relationships, showed that predictions for relationship results obtained directly from vocal acoustics are comparable or higher than those obtained through human-classified behavioral codes, " the article explains. of the study.

Making predictions based on people's tone of voice is as effective as making predictions based on their behavioral assessment.

In other words, making predictions based on people's tone of voice when talking to each other is as effective as - or even more efficient - doing so through a behavioral assessment of these individuals.

The study, therefore, compared the results of couples evaluations that artificial intelligence obtained with those of human psychologists themselves. Researchers also believe that showing these couples that their relationship has a specific end date can actually be a beneficial factor. Couples are expected to be more concerned with saving their dates and marriages when they have “hard” data from software that will eventually end.
