The woman who does the silly neural network stuff loosed an AI onto Culture ship names this week.

(in other news, my headache is still lurking, sigh.)

... aren't most of those canonical ship names? ...

[telophase]

The ones in the first list are, to show what Culture ship names are like. The final lists will be reasonably close because the canonical list of Culture names is pretty small as far as training data goes (200-something names), so it'll have a tendency to replicate or near-replicate them.

I think someone needs to do this with ship names from Yoon Ha Lee's Machineries of Empire.
