I suggest reading "Ross-Chernoff Glyphs
Or: How Do We Kill Bad Ideas in
Visualization?" (https://research.tableau.com/sites/default/files/altCHI-prep...), a paper on why Chernoff faces are bad by taking them to the extreme with Bob Ross.
> Using a neural net... would be a useful way of generating custom Ross-Chernoff plots, and also allows me to include “deep learning” in the author keywords.
