Sex estimation from the sternum in Turkish population using machine learning and deep neural networks
Introduction In forensic anthropology, building a biological profile is essential for identifying unknown human remains. Among the core components, sex estimation informs subsequent analyses of age, stature, and ancestry. The sternum, a central chest bone, has historically received less attention for sex estimation than the skull or pelvis. Recent advances in machine learning and deep…

Sex Estimation from the Sternum in Turkish Population: Machine Learning and Deep Neural Networks
Introduction In forensic anthropology, establishing a biological profile from skeletal remains is a cornerstone of donor identification. While the pelvis and skull remain primary sources for sex estimation, the sternum offers a complementary set of features that can be informative in fragmented or degraded remains. Recent advances in machine learning and deep neural networks provide…

Sex Estimation from the Sternum in Turkish Population Using Various Machine Learning Methods and Deep Neural Networks
Introduction Sex estimation is a cornerstone of forensic anthropology, helping to build a biological profile from skeletal remains. While much research emphasizes the pelvis and skull, the sternum offers an underexplored source of sexual dimorphism that may be particularly useful when other bones are damaged or unavailable. This article reviews how various machine learning methods…
