Learning Lyrics
This project was inspired by a couple Twitter accounts that applied a particular type of machine learning technique to learn how two (at the time) presidential hopefuls spoke. I thought, why not see what a model like this could do with lyrics from my favorite rock n roll artist?
Long short term memory (LSTM) is a recurrent neural network (RNN) that can be used to produce sentences or phrases by learning from text. The two twitter accounts that inspired this were ‘@deeplearnthebern’ and ‘@deepdrumpf’ which use this technique to produce phrases and sentences.
I scraped a little more than 300 of his songs and have fed them to a LSTM model using R. Primarily I used the mxnet.io/ to build and train the model…great site and tools.
