Python Meetup Explores Generative RNN Poetry

Last night at the Ottawa Python Authors Meetup, Emily Daniels of Halogen Software presented on artificial intelligence with Python, demonstrating recurrent neural networks that generate scripts and poetry from public-domain corpora such as H.G. Wells, Jane Austen, Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson. She explained preprocessing, a week-long training process, and fielded audience questions about dataset bias and the need to archive models and data for stewardship.
