PoemGen

Is poetry a peculiarity of human beings only? Can machines learn to generate poems that actually convey deep emotional meanings, just like human poets do? A lot of work is still necessary to reach such goal, here we present a simple demo in which we trained two models to generate tercets and verses respectively learning […]
