Beginners Guide To Text Generation With RNNs - Analytics India Magazine

Text Generation is a task in Natural Language Processing (NLP) in which text is generated with some constraints such as initial characters or initial words. We come across this task in our day-to-day applications such as character/word/sentence predictions while typing texts in Gmail, Google Docs, Smartphone keyboard, and chatbot. Understanding of text generation forms the base to advanced NLP tasks such as Neural Machine Translation. This article discusses the text generation task to predict the next character given its previous characters. It employs a recurrent neural network with LSTM layers to achieve the task. The deep learning process will be carried out using TensorFlow's Keras, a high-level API.
