Give your kids futuristic names with a neural network!

Medium post from Nate Parrott uses neural networks to generate new first names of the future:

We live in the future. Computers drive cars, fight parking tickets and raise children. Why not let machines name our children, too? What if a computer program could find the ideal baby name. Maybe it’s a perfect combination of both parents’ names—or maybe it’s a name that’s completely unique.

I trained a neural network on a list of 7500 popular American baby names, forcing it to turn each name into a mathematical representation called an embedding. Once I had a model that could translate between names and their embeddings, I could generate new names, blend existing names together, do arithmetic on names, and more.

I’m Voting For Deborah

To my loyal followers, I, 718-594-7958, am writing to you today because we are facing a crucial decision. Too long have the needs of the many overshadowed the needs of the few. Too long have the voices of the many been drowned out by the voice of the few. We need a change, and there’s only one candidate who can bring that change. I’m writing to you about Deborah. The choice, to me, is easy. A vote for Mop is a vote for inconsistency. A vote for opportunism and inconsistency. You know what needs to be done. Vote for Deborah. Yours in solidarity, 718-594-7958 #DeborahIsTheOne
