This is interesting because using only last 2 letters of a name and the position of a's, and throwing away all the other information, you can guess the gender of a name with 80% accuracy.
- jacalata 10y agoThat's really just restating what you did, not explaining why it's interesting to have done it. Is three features a common limitation of systems? Is this useful in a way that augments existing tools like comparing the name to the SSN database? There is definitely a place for articles saying "this is a toy problem you can use technique x on" but it's worth differentiating that from "this is a novel technique/a discovery made using this technique", and it feels a little like you've done the first kind and you're trying to label it as the second kind.
