How to handle gender with machine learning is a controversial topic. A growing critical body of research brought attention to the numerous issues transgender communities face with the adoption of current automatic gender recognition (AGR) systems. In contrast, we explore how such technologies could potentially be appropriated to support transgender practices and needs, especially in non-Western contexts like Japan. We designed a virtual makeup probe to assist transgender individuals with passing, that is to be perceived as the gender they identify as. To understand how such an application might support expressing transgender individuals gender identity or not, we interviewed 15 individuals in Tokyo and found that in the right context and under strict conditions, AGR based systems could assist transgender passing.

This paper is focused on the finetuning of acoustic models for speaker adaptation goals on a given gender. We pretrained the Transformer baseline model on Librispeech-960 and conduct experiments with finetuning on the gender-specific test subsets and
. In general, we do not obtain essential WER reduction by finetuning techniques by this approach. We achieved up to ~5% lower word error rate on the male subset and 3% on the female subset if the layers in the encoder and decoder are not frozen, but the tuning is started from the last checkpoints. Moreover, we adapted our base model on the full L2 Arctic dataset of accented speech and fine-tuned it for particular speakers and male and female genders separately. The models trained on the gender subsets obtained 1-2% higher accuracy when compared to the model tuned on the whole L2 Arctic dataset. Finally, we tested the concatenation of the pretrained x-vector voice embeddings and embeddings from a conventional encoder, but its gain in accuracy is not significant.
Rehabilitation assessment is critical to determine an adequate intervention for a patient. However, the current practices of assessment mainly rely on therapists experience, and assessment is infrequently executed due to the limited availability of a
therapist. In this paper, we identified the needs of therapists to assess patients functional abilities (e.g. alternative perspective on assessment with quantitative information on patients exercise motions). As a result, we developed an intelligent decision support system that can identify salient features of assessment using reinforcement learning to assess the quality of motion and summarize patient specific analysis. We evaluated this system with seven therapists using the dataset from 15 patient performing three exercises. The evaluation demonstrates that our system is preferred over a traditional system without analysis while presenting more useful information and significantly increasing the agreement over therapists evaluation from 0.6600 to 0.7108 F1-scores ($p <0.05$). We discuss the importance of presenting contextually relevant and salient information and adaptation to develop a human and machine collaborative decision making system.
We examine the utility of implicit user behavioral signals captured using low-cost, off-the-shelf devices for anonymous gender and emotion recognition. A user study designed to examine male and female sensitivity to facial emotions confirms that fema
les recognize (especially negative) emotions quicker and more accurately than men, mirroring prior findings. Implicit viewer responses in the form of EEG brain signals and eye movements are then examined for existence of (a) emotion and gender-specific patterns from event-related potentials (ERPs) and fixation distributions and (b) emotion and gender discriminability. Experiments reveal that (i) Gender and emotion-specific differences are observable from ERPs, (ii) multiple similarities exist between explicit responses gathered from users and their implicit behavioral signals, and (iii) Significantly above-chance ($approx$70%) gender recognition is achievable on comparing emotion-specific EEG responses-- gender differences are encoded best for anger and disgust. Also, fairly modest valence (positive vs negative emotion) recognition is achieved with EEG and eye-based features.
This work explores the utility of implicit behavioral cues, namely, Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals and eye movements for gender recognition (GR) and emotion recognition (ER) from psychophysical behavior. Specifically, the examined cues are acquir
ed via low-cost, off-the-shelf sensors. 28 users (14 male) recognized emotions from unoccluded (no mask) and partially occluded (eye or mouth masked) emotive faces; their EEG responses contained gender-specific differences, while their eye movements were characteristic of the perceived facial emotions. Experimental results reveal that (a) reliable GR and ER is achievable with EEG and eye features, (b) differential cognitive processing of negative emotions is observed for females and (c) eye gaze-based gender differences manifest under partial face occlusion, as typified by the eye and mouth mask conditions.
A rapid pattern-recognition approach to characterize drivers curve-negotiating behavior is proposed. To shorten the recognition time and improve the recognition of driving styles, a k-means clustering-based support vector machine ( kMC-SVM) method is
developed and used for classifying drivers into two types: aggressive and moderate. First, vehicle speed and throttle opening are treated as the feature parameters to reflect the driving styles. Second, to discriminate driver curve-negotiating behaviors and reduce the number of support vectors, the k-means clustering method is used to extract and gather the two types of driving data and shorten the recognition time. Then, based on the clustering results, a support vector machine approach is utilized to generate the hyperplane for judging and predicting to which types the human driver are subject. Lastly, to verify the validity of the kMC-SVM method, a cross-validation experiment is designed and conducted. The research results show that the $ k $MC-SVM is an effective method to classify driving styles with a short time, compared with SVM method.
