📜 RNN vs. Transformers: How an Old Architecture Better Perceives Poetic Style
In the era of Transformer dominance, we often forget that old RNNs (especially character-level LSTMs) remain irreplaceable for tasks where *individual style*, rhythm, and micro-patterns matter. These three models are clear proof of that.
🎯 Why does this matter today?
- **Stylistic analysis**: RNNs better capture meter, repetitions, and unexpected tonal shifts.
- **Teaching poetics**: generating "almost correct" but hallucinating lines helps explore the boundaries of style.
- **Nostalgia and replication**: a reminder that not everything is measured by BLEU and perplexity.
🖼️ Visualization
Attached is an infographic comparing the three models (architecture, style, generation sample).
> RNNs aren't dead. They're just writing poetry in silence.
