Popis: | Recent works have shown that it is possible to use information extracted from images to address the task of automatic gender identification. These proposals have validated their solutions using monolingual datasets, i.e., collections where images are shared by users having the same mother tongue. This paper aims to test the usefulness of images collected from users who do not share the same language. In principle, these users present cultural differences, which may be reflected in the images they share. However, a cross-cultural image-based approach would be very useful for languages where data is not available or scarce. The experiments presented demonstrate that characteristics obtained from the images, regardless of the users’ mother tongue, can be used for gender prediction. They mainly confirm the usefulness of a cross-cultural image-based approach, showing that culturally different individuals with equivalent profiles traits tend to share similar images. |
