How this classifier works

To start, upload a photograph, preferably of just a face. The AI will then detect the person's likely gender (using male vs female).

This pretrained image model uses the GenderClassify 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 likely gender detection into your application, we hope our classifier proves helpful.
