Livestream: Computer Generated Tweets and Other Prose Using GPT-2

This event will be Livestreamed here:
https://livestream.com/accounts/23925505/events/8861798

ABSTRACT:
Here we will go over how to apply GPT-2, a generative deep learning model to generate text that mimics an input of a person’s tweets. We will focus on preparing your input text so that it can be understood by the model and also how to make sure you aren’t overfitting. Then we will
look at using GPT-2 on Google Colab with GPT2-simple, which is an easy way to use the library that allows you to train, run your model and manage refined models of GPT-2.
