How do you find your ancestry?
How do you find your ancestry?
user
I used a machine learning approach to estimate the probability that each ancestor in my family tree is an African-American ancestor.

How do you do that?
user
I used a convolutional neural network to identify features that are useful in distinguishing African-Americans from others.  Then I used a Gaussian Process model to create a surrogate representation of each feature.  I then used the surrogate features as inputs to the convolutional network to identify likely African-American ancestors.

This sounds very complicated.
