I’ve been playing around with char-rnn, an open-source torch add-on for character-based neural networks by Andrej Karpathy [http://t.umblr.com/redirect?z=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fkarpathy%2Fchar-rnn&t=ZTNhNTMxMDJmZjFkMDJiMjI1MDZmZjk2ZGUyN2MxZjhiNTk2MWFjMCw0T1VwUVFXVQ%3D%3D] , using it to generate everything from cookbook recipes [http:

Cooking with Cthulhu

Here’s what you get when you give incomplete cookbook recipes to a neural network trained on the complete works of H. P. Lovecraft: > Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 32 minutes. Test corners to see if done, as center will seem like the next horror of Second

The neural network doesn’t understand proper nouns.

As the neural network begins to get better at generating cookbook recipes [http://lewisandquark.tumblr.com/post/140219420017/the-silicon-gourmet-training-a-neural-network-to] , it continues to have trouble with recipe sources - short and highly varied, they’re a challenge for an algorithm that learns by repetition. Still,

Disturbingly vague ingredients generated by neural network

This neural network, a learning algorithm trained on 30MB of cookbook recipes [http://lewisandquark.tumblr.com/post/140219420017/the-silicon-gourmet-training-a-neural-network-to] , generates new recipes based on probabilities. The resulting ingredients, while their words are individually probable, can end up disturbingly vague. “Yeah… I’m pretty

I’m training a neural network to generate recipes [http://lewisandquark.tumblr.com/post/140219420017/the-silicon-gourmet-training-a-neural-network-to] based on a database of about 30,000 examples, and although it sometimes comes up with ingredients that sound like a bad idea, sometimes it invents some

I trained the neural network to generate superhero names, based on the list from this site. [http://www.superherodb.com/characters/] I thought the database was going to be way too small, but the network proved me wrong. Speet Stank Red Fart Mister Man Rad Food Sapgirl Woop Ann Man

I’ve trained the neural network on about 30MB of cookbook recipes [http://lewisandquark.tumblr.com/post/140219420017/the-silicon-gourmet-training-a-neural-network-to] , but its cooking advice still doesn’t seem that great. I’m not sure I should do or add any of these things. >
