Description
Description
This dataset contains 116.746 identified faces (bounding box location on image, predicted age and gender) for all historical advertisements from all 8,840 issues of The Economist magazine, years 1843 to 2014. Faces have been detected using the following library: https://pythonrepo.com/repo/timesler-facenet-pytorch-python-deep-learning. You will need the The Economist Historical Advertisements - Master Dataset as well, to work with the data.

Variables
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Filename | Unique identifier of the advertisement this face appears on |
| Bounding Box relative X1 | Left-top coordinate of a rectangle identifying the face on the page, relative to the pixel coordinates of the image from column 2 ("URLs …") of the Master Dataset (which is related to this dataset by the unique identifier in column 1). Multiply this value by the width of the image to get the absolute x coordinate. If the ad is a multi page ad, the images from column 2 have to be horizontally concatenated first. |
| Bounding Box relative Y1 | Left-top coordinate |
| Bounding Box relative X2 | Right-bottom coordinate |
| Bounding Box relative Y2 | Right-bottom coordinate |
| Segmentation confidence score | Confidence of the neural network algorithm that these bounding boxes represent a face. |
| Size relative | 1 = Face covers all of the ad; 0.5 = Face covers half the ad. |
| Age | Predicted age of the face. |
| Gender | Gender probability; 0 = male; 1 = female; 0.4 = 40% likelyhood of beeing female |
