Gender Prediction in Social Media
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we explore the task of gender classification using limited network data with an application to Fotolog. We take a heuristic approach to automating gender inference based on username, followers and network structure. We test our approach on a subset of 100,000 nodes and analyze our results to find that there is a lot of value in these limited information and that there is great promise in further pursuing this approach to classification.
