Inquiry on Demographics Coverage in MediaPipe Landmark Detection Models

Open marcnunez opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

Hello,

I am currently using the MediaPipe landmark detection models for a project that requires a comprehensive understanding of the model's performance across various demographic groups. To ensure fairness and accuracy in my application, I would like to know more about the demographic coverage considered during the training of the models.

Specifically, could someone provide insights into the following:

Which datasets were used to train the landmark detection models, and do they include information on ethnicity or other demographic attributes? Were there specific efforts or techniques used to ensure diversity and reduce bias across different demographic groups? Is there any publicly available documentation or research that details the demographic diversity and representation in the training data?

Thank you for your time and support!

Best regards, Marc

If i remember correctly each human estimation model has racial bias listed in their model cards on mediapipe website

Hi @marcnunez,

As @Riztazz mentioned, details about the model’s training environment and demographics can be found in the Groups section on page 3 of the model card, such as the BlazeFace Model Card (Short Range) for here. We also have two additional model cards available here. Please refer to the model cards for all other relevant details.

Thank you!!
