New name for quebap

[isabelleaugenstein]

Please add your suggestions / discussion below. Submissions close in 2 weeks from today, I'll open a poll then. The name should be short, easy to remember, ideally reflect the content of the project and ideally include a pun.

[riedelcastro]

Based on your suggestions today (I never know when you're serious, so I just added them all!)

• Jazz (in honor of one of the forefathers of machine reading)
• Rick (or Morty, who "does the heavy lifting")
• Jeannie
• empire
• mother
• girlfriend (pip install girlfriend)
• pet / pit?
• platypus
• some animal name (ideally both cute and scary) (see https://www.buzzfeed.com/samjparker/surprisingly-dangerous-animals?utm_term=.ce3EKXE9Z#.wxb4EK4j6 which speaks for platypus!)

[riedelcastro]

I still think a "First-name Last-name" name would be fun. Like "James Tyler" or so, but with a better name. Speaking of which: you know what happens with naming polls---Parsey McParseFace!

Something simple, possibly too long:

• (the) reading machine

[narad]

• Jazz (in honor of one of the forefathers of machine reading)

Aww, you guys.

I'd call it Trebek -- the guy that tells you what types of questions you can choose, gives you the questions, tells you when you're wrong.

Or maybe Atlas. Double entendre -- similarly does the "heavy lifting", or, in the domain of maps, a helpful knowledge resource.

Though if you're going with "heavy lifting", there's only one name to use, AND THAT NAME IS...

Some animal related names with which it would also be easy to have a memorable icon.

AngryOtter: The otter is dissatisfied by your lack of sophisticated NLP algorithms (In tutorials you have an angry otter at the top ("What!? Bag of words and linear regression?") , and a satisfied otter at the bottom ("State of the art model. Sophistication level: Acceptable.")

SmartDonkey: The donkey is too stupid to do anything really, but its smart enough to pack the best NLP algorithms so you can use them.

SirNobleCat: Cat in Victorian suit with monocle and proper hat. Discusses the value of attention in Q&A models while sipping wine at the fireplace.

• Rick the Reader; or Morty the Machine: "First-name Last-name", alliteration, reflects what it does

Haha, but then, why not

• Myrrh

Or something with *omics?

[narad]

I think all the -omics things sound like bad startup companies.

[riedelcastro]

• dividual (breaks into parts, and shared with others)

[pminervini]

ACHTUNG! (as a reference to the attentional models implemented in the framework)

[riedelcastro]

But how would Jason pronounce it?

[riedelcastro]

• TensorJin (combining Matko's proposal with tenjin)
• TensorGin (the alcoholic version)

[narad]

Ahhhk! + tongue? I think I've heard Bono say it.

how about just gin? pip install gin sounds nice

[isabelleaugenstein]

Yeah, for when caffe and lasagne just don't cut it anymore

[riedelcastro]

But isn't installing ten gins better than one gin? Or 10x Gin!

[isabelleaugenstein]

pip install gin seems to be taken already: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/gin/0.1.006

[pminervini]

What about giNN ?

[rockt]

pip install booze!

[narad]

ha booze! is nice.

I don't know about you but on the tenjin front, even with my love of Japan I actually find the Japanese names for things a bit cringey. But then again, I think I'm hanging out with all these otaku guitar players so I'm probably more knee-deep in it than you would be.

[riedelcastro]

I like beverages, but can't really relate (for obvious reasons) to booze. Could it be something non-alcoholic?

[rockt]

Like http://www.drinksmixer.com/drink6553.html ?

[riedelcastro]

So now we are at pip install virgin?

[rockt]

There is still pip install ReadeyMcReadFace ...I guess only a poll can solve this :D

[rockt]

How about pip install grimm (because of Brother's Grimm)?

General and Reusable Infrastructure for Machine-reading Models

[narad]

Too unknown these days to be a problem, but for UMass people:

We have it! We have it!

tensor-hans !!!

(or reader-hans ?)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clever_Hans

[rockt]

A pun on https://github.com/openai/cleverhans ?

Should be tensorhans then :)

[mbosnjak]

Sounds good...but...Hans wasn't a smart horse in the end, it just read off people's reactions and acted upon that...experiments showed it

If you want to name it after a genuinely smart animal, consider (gorilla) Koko, who knew more than 1 1000 symbols - TensorKoko or if you want to be 'close' to Japanese...(a bonobo) Kanzi which, figure this, used A KEYBOARD to learn a language - TensorKanzi

I mean....come on....a monkey using a keyboard, exhibiting linguistic knowledge!!!

[narad]

Linguist here to nitpick: primates use language in non-compositional ways and can't be considered as possessing/exhibiting linguistic knowledge :)

Fantastic, just like neural machine readers!

I'd like to combine our love for booze and primates:

• aye-aye
  • check http://www.techtimes.com/articles/170790/20160721/primates-enjoy-booze-can-it-hint-at-the-roots-of-alcoholism.htm)
  • "the aye-aye resembles a cat which was bitten by a vampire and then halfway through the transformation said screw it" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHs5POy8-8Y

[isabelleaugenstein]

Reminder: 3 more days to suggest names

[rockt]

• tensortotle (from aristotle)
• genie (genie in a bottle)
• tensorgenie

[mbosnjak]

• tensorturtle
• jack (jack in a box)
• tensorjack

[pminervini]

Since it's mostly coded in London:

jack-the-reader ?

(I'm sorry)

[mbosnjak]

Project Prometheus

[mbosnjak]

TensorThor \m/ (^_^) \m/

[rockt]

prometheus ("forethought") makes sense How about tensortheus?

[riedelcastro]

Do we really need a tensor prefix?

I actually like forethought!

[mbosnjak]

project forethought?

pip install forethought?

I feel like I missed something because I don't get at all this 'pip install' thing at all. I'm reminded of like some lady in a clothing store...

Salesperson: "Wow, this 'tenjin' would look great on you." Lady: "Oh? Reeeally? Do you think so?" Salesperson: "Would you like to try it on?" Lady: "Oh, well okay, um.. 'pip install tenjin'? Salesperson: "Fantastic!" Lady: "Yes!! I think so too! I'll take it!"
