| # 🎸 🥁 Rockbot 🎤 🎧 | |
| A [GPT-2](https://openai.com/blog/better-language-models/) based lyrics generator fine-tuned on the writing styles of 16000 songs by 270 artists across MANY genres (not just rock). | |
| **Instructions:** Type in a fake song title, pick an artist, click "Generate". | |
| Most language models are imprecise and Rockbot is no exception. You may see NSFW lyrics unexpectedly. I have made no attempts to censor. Generated lyrics may be repetitive and/or incoherent at times, but hopefully you'll encounter something interesting or memorable. | |
| Oh, and generation is resource intense and can be slow. I set governors on song length to keep generation time somewhat reasonable. You may adjust song length and other parameters on the left or check out [Github](https://github.com/bigjoedata/rockbot) to spin up your own Rockbot. | |
| Just have fun. | |

| [DistilGPT2 version Model page on Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/bigjoedata/rockbot-distilgpt2/) This is leaner with the tradeoff being that the lyrics are more simplistic. | |

| ## Background | |
| With the shutdown of [Google Play Music](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Play_Music) I used Google's takeout function to gather the metadata from artists I've listened to over the past several years. I wanted to take advantage of this bounty to build something fun. I scraped the top 50 lyrics for artists I'd listened to at least once from [Genius](https://genius.com/), then fine tuned [GPT-2's](https://openai.com/blog/better-language-models/) 124M token model using the [AITextGen](https://github.com/minimaxir/aitextgen) framework after considerable post-processing.
