Guessing the gender of bibliographic subjects

Current Berkman People and Projects 2013-05-16

Summary:

Max Klein's recent posting on Sex Ratios in Wikidata, Wikipedias, and VIAF as well as work by Nathan Matias prompted me to check if I ever published my code behind the Wikipedia vs Britannica gender comparison. Apparently I did not. However, you can now see (and use) the two little functions I used to guess the gender of a biographical subjects: guess_gender_name and guess_gender_pronoun.
