TNaaS - Tech Names as a Service

slides:none on file

A web service generates Pokemon‑like names and actually runs at https://dyccxmwpz9.execute-api.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/pokemon/poke-names/v2 with the domain tnaas.com purchased; models compared include simple Markov chains, probabilistic graphical models implemented with pomegranate and proposals for RNN/LSTM and bidirectional completion, but deep learning is avoided due to a small corpus (~700 Pokemon names). Deployment uses AWS Lambda + API Gateway, yields ~200 ms cold-to-warm responses, is very cheap to operate, but needs caching, throttling and contingency planning for cloud outages.
