🏆 ViT Age-Gender Prediction: Vision Transformer for Facial Analysis

A state-of-the-art Vision Transformer model for simultaneous age estimation and gender classification, achieving 94.3% gender accuracy and 4.5 years age MAE on the UTKFace dataset.

🚀 One-Liner Usage

python

from model import predict_age_gender

result = predict_age_gender("your_image.jpg")
print(f"Age: {result['age']}, Gender: {result['gender']}")

That's it! One line to get age and gender predictions.

🆕 October 2025 Update - Discussion #5 Fixed

✅ Issue Resolved: Model now includes helper functions that return proper age and gender values (not LABEL_0/LABEL_1)

Recommended usage:

python

from model import predict_age_gender

result = predict_age_gender("image.jpg")
print(f"Age: {result['age']}, Gender: {result['gender']}")
print(f"Confidence: {result['gender_confidence']:.1%}")

Simple one-liner version:

python

from model import simple_predict

print(simple_predict("image.jpg"))
# Output: "25 years, Female (87.3% confidence)"

Important: These helper functions work correctly. The standard pipeline() approach returns LABEL_0/LABEL_1 and should not be used.

Real-time Webcam

python

import cv2
from model import predict_age_gender
from PIL import Image

cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)

while True:
    ret, frame = cap.read()
    if ret:
        # Convert frame to PIL Image
        rgb_frame = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
        pil_image = Image.fromarray(rgb_frame)
        
        # Predict
        result = predict_age_gender(pil_image)
        
        # Display prediction
        text = f"Age: {result['age']}, Gender: {result['gender']}"
        cv2.putText(frame, text, (10, 30), cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX, 1, (0, 255, 0), 2)
        cv2.imshow('Age-Gender Detection', frame)
        
    if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
        break

cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

URL Images

python

from model import predict_age_gender

# Direct URL prediction
image_url = "https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1507003211169-0a1dd7228f2d?w=300"
result = predict_age_gender(image_url)

print(f"Age: {result['age']} years")
print(f"Gender: {result['gender']}")
print(f"Confidence: {result['gender_confidence']:.1%}")

📊 Output Format

The helper function returns a dictionary with the prediction:

python

{
    "age": 25,
    "gender": "Female", 
    "gender_confidence": 0.873,
    "gender_probability_male": 0.127,
    "gender_probability_female": 0.873,
    "label": "25 years, Female",
    "score": 0.873
}

Access the values:

result['age'] - Predicted age (integer, 0-100)
result['gender'] - Predicted gender ("Male" or "Female")
result['gender_confidence'] - Confidence score (0-1)
result['gender_probability_male'] - Male probability (0-1)
result['gender_probability_female'] - Female probability (0-1)
result['label'] - Formatted string summary

def safe_predict(image_path):
    try:
        result = predict_age_gender(image_path)
        return f"Age: {result['age']}, Gender: {result['gender']}"
    except Exception as e:
        return f"Prediction failed: {e}"

prediction = safe_predict("any_image.jpg")
print(prediction)

🔧 Troubleshooting

Issue: Getting `LABEL_0`/`LABEL_1` instead of age/gender

Solution: Use the helper functions instead of pipeline:

python

# ✅ CORRECT METHOD - Use helper function
from model import predict_age_gender

result = predict_age_gender("image.jpg")
print(f"Age: {result['age']}, Gender: {result['gender']}")
# Output: Age: 25, Gender: Female

python

# ❌ WRONG METHOD - Don't use standard pipeline
from transformers import pipeline
classifier = pipeline("image-classification", ...)  # Returns LABEL_0/LABEL_1

The standard pipeline() approach doesn't work properly with custom models. Always use the predict_age_gender() helper function.

Issue: Warning "Some weights not initialized"

This warning is expected and safe to ignore:

Some weights of ViTForImageClassification were not initialized...

The model uses custom age and gender heads instead of standard classification, which causes this informational warning. The model works correctly.

Issue: Low confidence predictions

For optimal results:

✅ Use clear, well-lit images
✅ Ensure face is front-facing and visible
✅ Avoid heavy occlusion or extreme angles
⚠️ Predictions with confidence < 0.7 may need manual review
