- laironald 13y agothis is awesome.. i'm a student in the social sciences and name disambiguation for ethnicities is something I deal with quite often. i've just checked it out. thanks for this brilliant piece of work!
- natosaichek 13y agoPat is about a 60% female name. Jamie is about 75% Shannon is 85%. (I'm controlling for last name by putting in random garbage characters that are apparently not in the lastname database.) What's a more gender-ambiguous first name?
- malandrew 13y agoWhy not also use email + google image search. For some people it's likely to turn up an image of the person. From their, you can increase you confidence interval for age, gender and possibly ethnicity.
