Generating Product Names with RNNs

This last NLP case study is similar to the previous one. There, we wanted the network to create new free text based on a start sequence; here, we want the network to create new free words based on a start token. There, we wanted the network to create new sequences of words; here, we want the network to create new sequences of characters. Indeed, the goal of this product name generation case study is to create new names – that is, new words. While there'll be some differences, the approaches will be similar.

In this section, we will explore the details of this new approach.

The Problem of Product Name Generation

Normally, we don't associate artificial intelligence with creativity, as it is usually used to predict the outcome based on previously seen examples. The challenge for this case study is to use artificial intelligence to create something new, which is thought to be in the domain of creative minds.

Let's take...
