Automatic facial analysis abilities are commonly integrated in a system by a previous off-line learning stage. In this paper we argue that a facial analysis system would improve its facial analysis capabilities based on its own experience similarly to the way a biological system, i.e. the human system, does throughout the years. The approach described, focused on gender classification, updates its knowledge according to the classification results. The presented gender experiments suggest that this approach is promising, even when just a short simulation of what for humans would take years of acquisition experience was performed.
