Love this new paper titled "Computer Science Communities: Who is Speaking, and Who is Listening to the Women? Not us. We're inferring gender from first names."
I guess professionally my gender is andy, according to gender-guesser:
>>> import gender_guesser.detector as gender>>> d = gender.Detector()>>> d.get_gender("Wen")andy
Shockingly, the software doesn't gender "Cyrridven" or "Kerewin" correctly. Can you IMAGINE?
