Predicting German noun genders using machine learning

Predicting German noun genders with machine learning

Built for fun using Python and Tensorflow+Keras (model details).

Try entering a German word below (doesn't have to be a real word):

model = tensorflow.keras.models.Sequential()
                model.add(Dense(256, input_shape=(WORD_LEN, UNIQUE_CHARS)))
                model.add(Bidirectional(LSTM(128, return_sequences=True)))
                model.add(Bidirectional(LSTM(32)))
                model.add(Dense(3, activation='softmax'))
                model.compile(loss='categorical_crossentropy', optimizer='rmsprop', metrics=['acc'])

The model is trained on 7000 random words (about 2.5% of the dictionary), with another 2000 words used for evaluation.
The accuracy is 85%.
