Isn't this a result you should immediately be skeptical of because the results are so significant? I mean, the idea that you can detect sexual orientation from facial images seems somewhat plausible, but no way I would immediately buy that a classifier can discriminate just from the facial-structure with 81% accuracy as the title may imply, for instance. To be fair, in their abstract the authors mention grooming style and so on, but I feel that the title alone is slightly misleading.
Also: man, that preprint formatting is annoying to read.
- plaidfuji 9y ago81% accuracy in binary classification isn't something to write home about, either...
- speedplane 9y agoI'd bet you'd get a lot higher accuracy from scanning a facebook profile's metadata than from their image. That said, the concern of this is the potential to do this on at scale in a horrible distopia. Cameras in airports and on sidewalks automatically scan people for "undesirable" features and they end up in reeducation camps or just simply disappearing.
