This has been posted multiple times on HN in the past 6 months:<p>- <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=15198997" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=15198997</a><p>- <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=15197287" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=15197287</a><p>The author of this paper has created a document that addresses:<p>(1) Summary of the findings<p>(2) You must be wrong – this is pseudoscience!

The fact the the authors of the paper rush for innate explanations (hormone levels in the womb...) that they have no expertise to comment on instead of much more obvious behaviors (maybe self-labelled gay and straight people upload different types of pics or take care of themselves differently, on average), is a clear violation of Occam&#x27;s razor.<p>The &quot;average gay face&quot; is similar to the &quot;average straight face&quot; with glasses on, a better angle, and a couple of pounds less.

This is probaly the best article that you need to read after reading another one of those &#x27;detecting sexual orientation with dating profile pictures&#x2F;prison inmates&#x2F;etc&#x27; papers:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;@blaisea&#x2F;do-algorithms-reveal-sexual-orientation-or-just-expose-our-stereotypes-d998fafdf477" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;@blaisea&#x2F;do-algorithms-reveal-sexual-orie...</a>

&quot;Given a single facial image, a classifier could correctly distinguish between gay and heterosexual men in 81% of cases, and in 71% of cases for women&quot;<p>I can guess if someone of gay or straight with 98% accuracy - just always guess they are straight.<p>Tha ratio of gay to straight in the test data set is perhaps the most important part in determining how well the algorithm actually performs.<p>Are we supposed to assume the computer was shown a 50&#x2F;50 split of gay and hetero people? It appears that way. But please, tell us.

The data used is from dating web sites. That&#x27;s not a good sample source.

Some additional context and opinion on this: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.washingtonpost.com&#x2F;opinions&#x2F;ai-gaydar-could-compromise-lgbtq-peoples-privacy--and-safety&#x2F;2018&#x2F;02&#x2F;19&#x2F;172156bc-126d-11e8-9065-e55346f6de81_story.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.washingtonpost.com&#x2F;opinions&#x2F;ai-gaydar-could-comp...</a>

But why does it matter? What could it possibly be used for? I can&#x27;t think of a use for this which wouldn&#x27;t be crossing a line &#x2F; inappropriate &#x2F; dangerous.
