@rnn_dalelane

Inspired by https://medium.com/@samim/obama-rnn-machine-generated-political-speeches-c8abd18a2ea0 I tried training a recurrent neural network (RNN) for myself.

I exported every tweet I've ever posted as @dalelane, and used that as the training text. The idea was to see whether it would generate new tweets that looked like they could be things that I had written.

This is just a first quick attempt, with no attempts to tweak or tune the generation of the training model, or modify any other settings.

This is the kind of thing it's currently outputting:

Attempt 2

Like https://gist.github.com/dalelane/f0a1b9ce75509875f91d but this time I tried tweaking some settings to "optimise" it.

Erm... it didn't go well.
