If, like me, you sometimes wonder whether a poster is male or female, the Gender Genie website will help provide the answer
http://www.bookblog.net/gender/genie.html Inspired by an article in The New York Times Magazine, the Gender Genie uses a simplified version of an algorithm developed by Moshe Koppel, Bar-Ilan University in Israel, and Shlomo Argamon, Illinois Institute of Technology, to predict the gender of an author. Copy a post and paste it in the box, indicate that it is nonfiction, then click submit. By analyzing the words, the Gender Genie tells you whether it thinks the writer is male or female. I tried it with a number of posts by writers of known sex and it was right all but once. 80% accuracy is claimed by the author. When you get the report, you will find at the bottom of the page the opportunity to indicate whether the Genie was right or wrong. This info will help make it even more accurate in the future. Its interesting and fun, especially when dealing with the posts of first timers who try to pull our chain. |

when one of dr1-s posters suggested i had not been out of the dr, did not work and had fallen off a turnip truck......plus, suggested that by living in far afield places gave he/she more expertise when posting - even though it was totally irrelevant and i had also lived in some of those places before the original poster had even heard of them - i thought i would try this, using one of that person's posts to see if it really worked.
here are the results: Words: 352 (NOTE: The genie works best on texts of more than 500 words.) Female Score: 395 Male Score: 395 The Gender Genie thinks the author of this passage is: could be either! - i concluded that it does work. |

Just for fun I went back and threw the last 10 or so posts of DiabloRojo at the program. Guess what? 9 out of ten times it identified that sock puppet as a female - DiablaRoja - just like I said.
Harumph. Vindication, at last. One of these days you guys are going to listen to me. LOL! Last Ten DiabloRojo Posts:

XR..Tom you should not be mean to me, I figured you were a decent guy unlike the few who choose to be so childish Um. I was actually defending you, but after these latest little tirades, Pam, it is obvious that there is a definite shift here in your behavior over the last week. You O.K.? Tom (aka XR) |

.... On the serious side I wonder if the program is biased toward one particular form of English or not. I'd bet that it is, and was written for American English. I first tried it out on a few of Chris's posts. She's from South Africa and it did the same thing, male. Probably will show the higher inaccuracy rate, too, on anyone who has picked up English as a second or third language, too. AZB, if he learned English in Pakistan, learned it in an area of the world where it is a very British form that is taught and spoken. But the program seems to be very accurate on the native American English speakers, though. So, don't be upset. You're still a Babe - you're name tag says so! Tom (aka XR) Whaaatt!!! You ran me through a gender bender? Now AZB is a female and I'm a male? I think I have a headache! ![]() |

I am now going to my apartment,and F**k myself! Finally,I am going to screw someone worthy of me! But, doesn't that make you a lesbian now, CC? At least you'll save a bundle on the Viagra. I guess that program needs a few extra outcomes. Male, Female, Female trapped in Male body, and Male trapped in Femal Body! Tom (aka XR) |
