Job Summary

What you'll do:

Both twins take and submit 30 selfies and 60 videos of themselves (individually and/or together) following simple project instructions.
Each twin completes a short questionnaire about themselves and the submitted images.
Complete the project remotely using your own smartphones.

Who we're looking for:

The project is designed to create a dataset representing people from a broad range of racial and ethnic backgrounds and physical appearances, including data that helps AI systems better understand visual similarity between related individuals. We are seeking participation from twins (identical or fraternal) across many different communities and backgrounds.

Religious and cultural attire:

Participants are welcome to wear religious or cultural attire and accessories in their photos, including but not limited to hijabs, turbans, kippahs, and religious jewelry. These are fully accepted, and there is no need to remove them. We want the dataset to reflect how people actually present themselves.

Twin pairs of all racial and ethnic backgrounds are welcome to apply.

Compensation: u$140 per approved task, per participant (i.e., up to u$280 per twin pair, depending on task structure)

Eligibility: 18+ / NAMER, LATAM, EMEA / smartphone / must have a twin sibling willing to also participate
