More 80s action figures from the neural network

Earlier, I posted a collection of action figure names [http://lewisandquark.tumblr.com/post/161131639137/80s-action-figures-designed-by-neural-network] generated by a neural network trained on a list of about 3,700 action figures from the 1980s and 1990s, from lines including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, G.I. Joe, Transformers, and My Little

Part of the power of a recursive neural network is that the same framework can teach itself to generate text in a huge variety of styles. So far I’ve used it to generate things like recipes [http://lewisandquark.tumblr.com/post/140219420017/the-silicon-gourmet-training-a-neural-network-to] , Dr. Who episode titles [http://lewisandquark.

So it turns out you can train a neural network [http://lewisandquark.tumblr.com/post/160776374467/new-paint-colors-invented-by-neural-network] to generate paint colors if you give it a list of 7,700 Sherwin-Williams paint colors [https://images.sherwin-williams.com/content_images/sw-pdf-sherwin-williams-color.pdf] as input. How a neural network basically works is

So if you’ve ever picked out paint, you know that every infinitesimally different shade of blue, beige, and gray has its own descriptive, attractive name. Tuscan sunrise, blushing pear, Tradewind, etc… There are in fact people who invent these names for a living [https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/
