NamePrism

NamePrism is a nationality/ethnicity classification tool that aims to support academic research, e.g. sociology and demographic studies. In this project, we learn name embeddings for name parts (first/last names) and classify names to 39 leaf nationalities and 6 U.S. ethnicities. Our open API has been supporting over 100 research teams from social science, economics, etc.
