Italian Name Generator

A lightweight machine learning model that generates unique and authentic Italian names based on existing ones. The model is trained using a character-level neural network, capturing linguistic patterns to create realistic and diverse outputs.

How It Works

• The model encodes characters as numerical values.
• A simple feedforward neural network learns patterns from names.
• During inference, given a prefix, the model predicts the next character iteratively.
• The network can be trained on any name dataset, allowing flexibility in name generation.
• A graph visualizes the relationships between characters as learned by the model, helping to understand its internal structure.

Generate Names in Any Language!

The implemented code is easily adaptable to generate names in different languages! Simply follow these steps:

1. Obtain a dataset

   • Download a text file containing names in your target language from this repository or another source.

2. Update the code

   • Change the imported dataset filename in the script.
   • Determine the number of unique characters in the target language and update the alphabet_length variable accordingly.

With these simple modifications, the model can generate names in any language with an available dataset!
