How this classifier works
To start, input the text that you'd like analyzed. Our AI tool will then predict if they are more likely to be male or female.
This pretrained text model uses the UC-Irvine dataset and has 2 labels, including Male vs Female.
We'll also show a confidence score (the higher the number, the more confident the AI model is around if they are more likely to be male or female).
Whether you're just curious or building gender by first name detection into your application, we hope our classifier proves helpful.
