Neural networks and shifter romance

I found an online neural network (via following a link from aiweirdness.com) that I could feed stuff into in order to produce machine generated stuff.

So I grabbed the titles of 2000 shifter romance books from Goodreads lists and fed them in.

The first time I did it, I let it run for about 50 epochs (an epoch is one run through the data source), and it produced, well... let's say that it learned that capital letters should come at the beginnings of words and it had an inordinate fondness for dragons.



Temperature is a measure of creativity--the lower the temperature, the more conservative it is when generating the text.

My next try at it was a bit better. I had it run for 200 epochs and had it spit back results every 20.


EPOCH 20: In which we have yet to get the hang of parentheses
