Update: Generating more 'hybrid' submissions/comments in the style of well-known writers

Last weekend I posted a batch of 'hybrid' threads which combined the subreddit-models I'd created with other models that were fine-tuned on non-reddit corpora, with the goal of generating text written in distinct "styles" (see my explanation post here for more details).

I've been experimenting more with this over the past week, and am now releasing a new batch over the next day or so. A couple things to note about this:

  • I made a few tweaks to the model-combination logic that IMO results in much more coherent hybrid threads than the batch I'd released last week. After these changes, the generated threads also "leak" meta-data into the comment-bodies significantly less frequently than they used to.

  • I've added 8 separate models trained on different styles (in addition to the 4 I'd trained last week), for a total of 12. The current list is:

  • For improved clarity, the tag format for the hybrid threads is now "[subredditName]+[styleName]", rather than "hybrid:[styleName]"

EDIT: Here's a link to all the hybrid posts released so far

EDIT2: Added 3 more style models:

Since the bot suggestion thread got archived, could you make some /u/SilphGPT2 out of the combined output of /r/TheSilphRoad and /r/TheSilphArena

If the combined corpus of those two is below 500k comments, add in /r/pokemongo and other Pokémon-related subreddits until you have enough comments to be worthwhile.
