This is the third installment of my experiment to leverage machine learning for creative writing. In the first installment, the RNN model was utilized to train text prediction based on characters. In the second installment, the pre-trained T5 model was fine-tuned on a range of sequence length, from 1 to 512 words. For the third,…

They mostly run at ~5 minutes, but his favorite was the longest one, depicting the Space Launch System’s exploration missions to the Moon and to Mars. Recently, all the excitements around the launch of Artemis-1 got him interested in…

It uses word vectoring, or word embedding, to train a set of word vectors based on a large corpus of text. With each word represented by a point in the embedding space, these points are learned and…
