Gender Prediction

Gender prediction, the task of automatically determining an individual's gender, is actively researched across various modalities including facial images, voice recordings, names, and even text data from social media. Current research focuses on improving accuracy and mitigating biases, particularly concerning non-binary genders and demographic disparities, often employing deep learning models like convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and transformers. This field is significant due to its implications for fairness in AI systems, applications in forensic science and healthcare, and the potential to uncover societal biases embedded in data and algorithms.
