| Mar 22, 2018 at 22:41 | comment | added | aventurin | I do not know if the lists in wikipedia contain errors. My point was that some (many?) of the lists only reflect recent naming trends. For example, none of the names in the wikipedia article's top-ten list of male given names in Germany is also in the top-ten list (not even close) of the whole population. This is because the wikipedia list considers only names of babies born in 2015. The following link shows naming trends over time for the US: visualcinnamon.com/portfolio/babynames | |
| Mar 22, 2018 at 22:08 | comment | added | chewpakabra | @aventurin I think, the whole point of wikipedia is that if you see any data errors and you possess the knowledge that you believe is more true, you should edit and update the article. On the topic of the question, as I said, this "dataset" will give a start that will either prove or disprove the hypothesis that such classification is feasible at all (which I doubt). And if it is, you can use a shallow model to get more semi-automated labeled data using pseudo-labelling technique. | |
