These vectors enable the inference of demographic attributes such as gender, age, and ethnicity. This study introduces a gender classification approach based solely on face vectors, avoiding the use of traditional machine learning algorithms. Face embeddings were generated using three popular models: dlib, ArcFace, and FaceNet512. For classification, the Average Neural Face Embeddings (ANFE) technique was applied by calculating distances between vectors. To improve gender recognition performance for Asian individuals, a new dataset was created by scraping facial images and related metadata from AsianWiki. The experimental evaluations revealed that ANFE models based on ArcFace achieved classification accuracies of 93.1% for Asian women and 90.2% for Asian men. In contrast, the models utilizing dlib embeddings performed notably lower, with accuracies dropping to 76.4% for women and 74.3% for men. Among the tested models, FaceNet512 provided the best results, reaching 97.5% accuracy for female subjects and 94.2% for males. Furthermore, this study includes a comparative analysis between ANFE and other commonly used gender classification methods.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/info16070531","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,24]],"date-time":"2025-06-24T06:49:38Z","timestamp":1750747778000},"page":"531","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Gender Classification Using Face Vectors: A Deep Learning Approach Without Classical Models"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6636-7898","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Semiha","family":"Makinist","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Engineering, Firat University, Elazig 23119, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Galip","family":"Aydin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Engineering, Firat University, Elazig 23119, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1289","DOI":"10.1007\/s11042-022-12678-6","article-title":"Review: Single attribute and multi attribute facial gender and age estimation","volume":"82","author":"Gupta","year":"2023","journal-title":"Multimed.
