Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in.

Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years.

Yacold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program.

What sort of scenery do you find most appealing?

Researchers in the UK asked volunteers that question, through an online photo rating game,

and the result was sort of what you'd expect.

It's like the beautiful mountains, you know, the abundant greenery, beautiful, like water features like lakes and oceans.

Chanuki Saracina, a data scientist at the Warwick Business School. She says the more surprising

finding was that human-built structures, like churches and towers and cottages, could enhance the

perception of the beauty of a scene, and big expanses of green grass, like athletic fields,

didn't actually rate that highly. But what they did next is where the data science comes in.

They fed a computer 160,000 photographs, rated through the online game, and they taught the

machine to break each image into the scenic elements it contained, like snowy mountains and

waterfalls, crosswalky mountains and waterfalls,

crosswalks and construction sites. And then they presented the computer with a challenge.

They asked it to rate the scenic beauty of other photos it had never seen before.

And it actually did pretty well at estimating the average crowd-sourced consensus of beauty.

The studies in the journal Royal Society Open Science.

As smart as it is, the scenery-loving computer probably won't be putting tour guides out of business.
