DESCRIPTION:Morgan Klaus Scheuerman\, Chercheur·x Florian Jaton\, Cherche
 ur UniL Carmela Troncoso\, Tenure Track Assistant Professor\, Jessica Pid
 oux\, Présidente Dhelta\nRace and gender have long sociopolitical histori
 es of classification in technical infrastructures-from the passport to soc
 ial media. Facial analysis technologies are particularly pertinent to unde
 rstanding how identity is operationalized in new technical systems. In thi
 s talk\, Morgan Klaus Scheuerman will present the results of two works on 
 how identity is conceptualized in computer vision. First\, “How Computer
 s See Gender\,” an analysis of how gender is concretely conceptualized a
 nd encoded into commercial facial analysis and image labeling technologies
  available today. Second\, “How We’ve Taught Algorithms to See Identit
 y\,” how race and gender are defined and annotated in image databases us
 ed for facial analysis. The synthesis of these works points towards a need
  for addressing the discursive construction of identity categories in comp
 uter vision\, and technologies more broadly.
