Automatic Gender and Age Classification from Offline Handwriting with Bilinear ResNet.

ABSTRACT: This work focuses on automatic gender and age prediction tasks from handwritten documents. This problem is of interest in a variety of fields, such as historical document analysis and forensic investigations. The challenge for automatic gender and age classification can be demonstrated by the relatively low performances of the existing methods. In addition, despite the success of CNN for gender classification, deep neural networks were never applied for age classification. The published works in this area mostly concentrate on English and Arabic languages. In addition to Arabic and English, this work also considers Hebrew, which was much less studied. Following the success of bilinear Convolutional Neural Network (B-CNN) for fine-grained classification, we propose a novel implementation of
