r/MachineLearning - [Project] Lyrics Generator

I created a lyrics generator that seems simple, but actually ended up involving around 50 hours of programming. But the result of that was still poetry, so I added a bunch of non-ML post-processing steps to make it look like song lyrics. After GPT-2 produces the raw content, I use the first 6 lines and call that the "Verse 1", then the next 4 lines are the "Chorus", then the next 6 lines as "Verse 2", and then to make the chorus sound like a chorus, I repeat the first chorus again. I also make all sorts of other small adjustments like filtering out r-rated content, deleting the last line of the raw lyrics because most of the time it is unfinished (cut off), deleting lines that get repeated too much, and getting a whole new set of lyrics if the lyrics become too short after all the deletions. Sometimes the lyrics have phrases like [Repeat Chorus] or (instrumental break) which are no good, so I automatically delete those lines also.
