Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving a plurality of images having human faces; generating a data structure having representations of the faces and associations that link the representations based on similarities in appearance between the faces; and outputting a first gender value for a first representation of a first face that indicates a gender of the first face based on one or more other gender values of one or more other representations of one or more other faces that are linked to the first representation, wherein the first gender value is determined by comparing an area of an image having the first face with areas of images having the one or more other faces, and selecting a gender value that matches known gender values for areas that are more similar to the area of the image having the first face, in opposition to known gender values for areas that are less similar to the area of the image having the first face.
