Despite being extensively studied in the literature, the problem of gender recognition from face images remains difficult when dealing with unconstrained images in a cross-dataset protocol.
In addition to the PLOS paper, the team created a website called MetaCausal that includes a public explainer of its research, the full dataset, full protocol, review tool, analysis code, reviewer profiles, and results from the study.
Section 4 describes first the evaluation dataset and protocol considered.
Indeed, in one of the ChIP-seq experiments analyzed by us, we observed very high levels of bias across the first positions (Fig. 1E), and we also observed a bias in the GRO-seq dataset, the protocol of which does not include priming by random hexamers.
In a further sensitivity analysis, we also re-analyzed the dataset of protocol-enrolled women with complete confounder information using patients of all ages and applying the same adjustments.
Upon inspection of the three datasets' experimental protocols, however, the common factor appears to be the use of a specific plasmid shuffle transformation employing a strain background of the form ura3 trp1 leu2 his3 or his4.
The taxonomic bias in the microbial communities detected between the datasets from Protocols E and EY may reflect the thoroughness of sample pre-washing with TENP buffer that may partially wash off bacteria known to be lightly adhered to solid matrix.
The Per-Protocol dataset includes all patients enrolled under the protocol who received treatment with the VizAblate System and provided both a baseline fibroid volume assessment and a 3-month assessment and/or who received a surgical reintervention.
For the ICPR2012 dataset, a third protocol was also proposed based on the results of the second protocol.
We provide details of the datasets and our protocol to construct ground truth datasets for evaluation.
