New drugs and their names are being created all the time and it’s pretty easy as a human to see a string in isolation and see “yeh, that’s a drug name”. Anyone done anything similar to this? I vaguely recall some discussion of distinguishing boys’ and girls’ names (as an exercise in some textbook?).<u></u><u></u></p>
