  Article:   A NEW UNSUPERVISED LEARNING BASED APPROACH FOR GENDER DETECTION OF HUMAN ARCHAEOLOGICAL REMAINS.

  Abstract:   Detecting the gender of human skeletal remains is an important problem within archaeology, since it is essential for understanding the characteristics of past societies. We approach in this paper, from a machine learning perspective, the problem of sex identi cation of human skeletal remains from bone measurements. In order to partition a group of skeleton remains according to their gender, different clustering algorithms are considered. Computational experiments carried out on publicly available archaeological data sets show a good performance of the proposed clustering approaches with respect to existing similar approaches from the literature.
