Testing facial recognition software

Description

Buolamwini and Gebru used their own database that included more women and more people of colour to evaluate how well commercial gender classification algorithms coped with different shades of skin colour in a gender-balanced test database.

Usage

data(aFacial)

Format

A data frame with 72 observations on the following 5 variables.

Sex

Female or Male

Skin

one of six shades of skin colour from I to VI

Prediction

Correct or Wrong

Freq

number of cases

Software

one of three facial recognition software packages

Details

Summary data tables of percentages and some numerical totals were provided in the paper and the supplementary material. Assuming the results had to be based on integer numbers of cases it was possible to reconstruct summary raw numbers of the dataset. The dataset is analysed in Chapter 22, "Comparing software for facial recognition".
