Gender detection

[Hyrtsi]

Greetings,

I found this repository (paz) from link in this repository.

My goal is to have gender detection feature in this repository. For some weird reason it's in oarriaga/face_classification but not here even though it's mentioned in your research publication.

I have a few questions:

• Do the xception models support the weights in oarriga/face_classification repository?
• Is it simple to output also the gender from the xception model? Is it just a matter of choosing the outputs?

I will start working on this feature myself and open a PR but some additional info will make my job easier :) thank you!

Hi thank you for the interest! Yes the PR would be most welcomed thank you.

I think one could use the same xception model builder here.

The only problematic thing could be to load the weights directly. Maybe this can be done in a simple way by doing old_repo_model.save_weights('weights.hdf5') and then new_repo_model.save_weights('weights.hdf5'). I hope this can help you!

Ok, thank you for the hints. I'll try that as soon as I have time :)
