Using keras deep learning package in R to generate new prehistoric animal names from a list of existing genera.
Heavily adapted from functions written by Jonathan Nolis and JJ Allaire
Proposed genus names from 50 iterations of modeling. From 500 samples, 312 unique names were generated, 120 were not previously named dinosaurs, pterosaurs, mosasaurs, ichthyosaurs, or plesiosaurs.
