[asterisk-users] Please help test the gender detection module at 575-613-4392
I need your help: please help test the gender detection module at 575-613-4392.
I wrote a gender detection module and thought I'd try it out. It only takes
a second. I've been showing 90%+ accuracy and I want
to make sure it's working correctly. Rain and significant background noise
seems to throw it off, so I still have a bit of work to do.
Have your friends and significant others call too. Also, let me know if you have
any need for the module.

[asterisk-users] Please help test the gender detection module at 575-613-4392
This module detects gender and approximate age range. I'm working on getting it's accuracy to 80%+ on a consistent basis, after implementing filters to remove background noise and other artifacts. It's designed for a number of things. To start, I have several clients (primarily mobile content and servers providers) that want to profile and generate demographics of their users for selling advertising. They also want to understand their user base. Plus, some customers have found that male and female users tend to respond differently to different prompts, flows, etc. This helps in designing a system that meets needs of many different types of users. Of course, there are many other uses and I'm sure people can generate some cool ideas. Let me know how it works when you try the test number at 575-613-4392. Also, let me know if you have any interest in the module.

This sounds very interesting Justin. -- Thanks, Steve Totaro Justin, how about building some additional functionality. How about a moving stress variable that could be used as a lie detector of sorts or just to measure how certain parts of a script, or certain questions may prove to be more stressful where simply rewording them may have a less stressful response? I guess to get a baseline, you would have to ask a few inert questions. -- Thanks, Steve Totaro +18887771888 (Toll Free) +12409381212 (Cell) +12024369784 (Skype) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[asterisk-users] Please help test the gender detection module at 575-613-4392
Let's chat about this on Saturday or Sunday. We could probably combine pieces of the vr and gd code to get something working. A peer of mine suggested using FFT with a neural network, but I honestly think that backend is going to take way too much processing, too much effort, and beat the purpose. I'm sure we can get something that works well enough and that fits in the 20ms frames.

Justin Newman isn't exactly "someone we don't know". However I only found that out by reading the signature of the message. This message has several indicators of a spam message: * The declared name is a completely generic one. This is normally indicative of some newbies who have not yet "earned" a name on the list. * The message starts by asking you to call a number. * No page with further information. Such a page helps to provide further verification: I can tell that whoever wrote this message and whoever wrote the page are the same. * Is this module intended to be free software? (As it is not mentioned, I guess: "no"). If not, I'm less motivated to help to it. -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:tzafrir.cohen at xorcom.com +972-50-7952406 mailto:tzafrir.cohen at xorcom.com http://www.xorcom.com iax:guest at local.xorcom.com/tzafrir
