For my case, it can't decide :)

Lol,. doesn't work.

Forgot the link (It was based on some research from two linguists to find an algorithm or something to perform this)

So, what does it say about others? Or what would it say about a big pile of text from "the random text BBS thread"?

for the first two paragraphs of "Lorem ipsum..." it gives the following results:

Female Score: 0
Male Score: 36

The Gender Genie thinks the author of this passage is: male!

...and it's right, Cicero was male! wow, miracle! kthxbai.

I pasted in the bbs warning. Score:

Words: 217
(NOTE: The genie works best on texts of more than 500 words.)

Female Score: 370
Male Score: 280

The Gender Genie thinks the author of this passage is: female!

I pasted all the texts in this thread and I got:

Words: 201
(NOTE: The genie works best on texts of more than 500 words.)

Female Score: 60
Male Score: 295

The Gender Genie thinks the author of this passage is: male!

So, it works atm. Maybe if we accumulate? :)

impressive..

hmmm.... I wonder what my former math teacher would have to say about that...

btw: while paniq seems to be male indeed, the gender genie identifies a longer blog entry of kebby as being written by a female...

and i got the same result with my own little gender genie, only it took a lot less effort and works perfectly even with a total number of zero words as input:

bool is_male = (rand() % 2) == 1;
printf(is_male ? "male" : "female");

forgot the

srand(time()); ...
added on the 2007-07-02 21:12:31 by hcdlt hcdlt
just #define rand() 4 and you have a conforming implementation of it. srand can be a no-op then.
"raytracing, sure" gives 786 vs 569..

Maybe there was a better version somewhere else on the net. Didn't read that before about 50% but was funny to read it here :)
added on the 2007-07-02 21:45:44 by Optimus Optimus
Though it really looked like 50% some times :P
added on the 2007-07-02 21:45:59 by Optimus Optimus
hcdt, that has a problem. I would use a md5($text)&0x1 to make the same text always show the same result
added on the 2007-07-02 21:58:39 by texel texel
texel: okay, good advice... but then again, IMHO the rand() version stresses my point a little bit better
added on the 2007-07-02 22:25:37 by hcdlt hcdlt
That appears to be quite a simplicistic test. You can do so much better.
