    Abstract: A method of training and using a machine learning model that controls for consideration of undesired factors which might otherwise be considered by the trained model during its subsequent analyses of new data. For example, the model may be a neural network trained on a set of training images to evaluate an insurance applicant based upon an image or audio data of the insurance applicant as part of an underwriting process to determine an appropriate life or health insurance premium. The model is trained to probabilistically correlate an aspect of the applicant's appearance with a personal and/or health-related characteristic. Any undesired factors, such as age, sex, ethnicity, and/or race, are identified for exclusion. The trained model receives the image (e.g., a “selfie”) of the insurance applicant, analyzes the image without considering the identified undesired factors, and suggests the appropriate insurance premium based only on the remaining desired factors.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting distracted drivers and reducing risks posed by the distracted drivers are disclosed. According to certain aspects, an electronic device may capture and analyze image data that depicts an operator of a vehicle in various levels of distraction. The electronic device may determine, based on the analysis, whether the operator is distracted, and determine an additional vehicle that may be located in front of the vehicle. The electronic device may generate and transmit a command to an additional electronic device that, upon execution, causes brake lights of the additional vehicle to modify in intensity.
