Researchers at the Universitat Politècnica de Valencia (Polytechnic University of Valencia, UPV) have developed a new tool that can detect the sex and age range of the authors behind posts and other comments on social networks. Potential applications include its use in delinquent profiling and detection of pedophile cases. It is also a valuable tool for companies, offering a window onto their customer base and informing more focused marketing actions.
