I know nothing but names
- 1 min
Names is one of my most favourite projects. We looked at how to represent information for a name and how such representation can be used to gain more understanding of a user like what is the country of origin, ethnicity, or gender… I have built a few models to classify forenames, surnames and full names into different typologies, mainly country of origin.
