## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 46/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-02T17:46:02.011165+00:00)
- activity 51, release rhythm 8, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 3555, "days_push": 297, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: none
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
A curated corpus of Chinese, Japanese, and translated English personal names, plus surnames, kinship terms, and idioms, totaling millions of entries. It includes a name generator and is intended as dictionary data for Chinese word segmentation and named entity recognition.

## Use cases
- build a Chinese NER model that recognizes person names
- add a Chinese person-name dictionary to a word segmentation tool
- generate plausible Chinese names for test data or fictional characters
- get a list of Chinese surnames or kinship terms
- find translated English or Japanese names for cross-language NLP

## When to choose
- you need large cleaned name lists for Chinese/Japanese NLP tasks
- you want dictionary data to boost segmentation or person-name recognition
- you need a name generator for Chinese names

## When to avoid
- you need structured records with gender, age, or pinyin annotations (only the parent NameMoe graph has those)
- you need a maintained library or API rather than static text files
- you require zero noise - the data still contains some badcases

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: maintenance
- function: nlp, data-generation, parser
- domain: data-science
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: chinese-names, name-corpus, named-entity-recognition, word-segmentation, japanese-names, english-names, name-generator, dictionary-data, natural-language-processing, localization
