Damegender
The gender detection from a name is useful to make gender studies from social networks, mailing lists, software repositories, articles, etc. Nowadays there are various APIs to detect gender from a name. In this speech, we offer a tool to use and compare these apis and a method to predict gender applying machine learning and using a free license and census open data.
Proposal format
