Based on the methods, seems a stretch to say this isnt correlation alone
Yeah, just the wording of the title is a huge red flag.
I'm curious if "faces" are really just faces or shoulders up where hairstyles and clothes give clues.
Like, an a adult that goes by Bob, Bobby, or Robert looks different. And people would subconsciously account for age and what names were popular.
A lot of shit goes on behind the scenes and sometimes the conscious brain doesn't know and makes up it's own reason for why it decided something.
I don't care which way the causation goes or whether it comes from the name choice and preferences of the parents (yea, bad title), what surprised me is that ML can predict a name based on a face at all, there should be no correlation in first place.
I disagree. Age biases the statistical likelihood of a name. Features that hint in any ethnic direction. Also some visible features might bias towards urban vs rural upbringing which also would also lean names in another direction.
Oh yea, baby name trends, ethnicity, I don't know how heterogeneous the datasets they are using are when they mention the strength of the correlation, I was imagining it would distinguish a John from a Peter, but there could be a much lower correlation in that subset.
