Auditing the demographic structure of visual datasets.
Watch the project walkthrough
- The question
- What demographic patterns are hidden inside the datasets used to train and evaluate visual AI?
- My contribution
- A Python pipeline spanning discovery and sampling, face detection, attribute inference, aggregation, and reporting.
- Research outcome
- Audits across 1.6M+ frames and 10+ benchmark datasets. Developed as master’s thesis research at DFKI, with a paper accepted at CHIRA 2026.
- Interpretation
- Inferred demographic attributes depend on the models used. Dataset coverage and model uncertainty matter when interpreting the audit.
