This study is devoted to the automatic generation of German drama texts. We suggest an approach consisting of two key steps: fine-tuning a GPT-2 model (the outline model) to generate outlines of scenes based on keywords and fine-tuning a second model (the generation model) to generate scenes from the scene outline. The input for the neural model comprises two datasets: the German Drama Corpus (GerDraCor) and German Text Archive (Deutsches Textarchiv or DTA). In order to estimate the effectiveness of the proposed method, our models are compared with baseline GPT-2 models. Our models perform well according to automatic quantitative evaluation, but, conversely, manual qualitative analysis reveals a poor quality of generated texts. This may be due to the quality of the dataset or training inputs.

During the last years, many advances have been made in tasks like3D model retrieval, 3D model classification, and 3D model segmentation.The typical 3D representations such as point clouds, voxels, and poly-gon meshes are mostly suitable for rendering purposes, while their use forcognitive processes (retrieval, classification, segmentation) is limited dueto their high redundancy and complexity. We propose a deep learningarchitecture to handle 3D models as an input. We combine this architec-ture with other standard architectures like Convolutional Neural Networksand autoencoders for computing 3D model embeddings. Our goal is torepresent a 3D model as a vector with enough information to substitutethe 3D model for high-level tasks. Since this vector is a learned repre-sentation which tries to capture the relevant information of a 3D model,we show that the embedding representation conveys semantic informationthat helps to deal with the similarity assessment of 3D objects. Our ex-periments show the benefit of computing the embeddings of a 3D modeldata set and use them for effective 3D Model Retrieval.

But first, what is a confusion matrix? In machine learning, a confusion matrix is a kind-of confusing table used to understand how well our model predictions perform(especially confusing when we have multiple classes and not the classic binary 0/1 problems). However, gradually I figured out that the confusion-matrix is not so confusing and helps me a ton in understanding the model behaviour and interpreting the results. So I'm going to try to do the same here.. make it less confusing, more interesting and easier to interpret! The columns represent predictions made by our model and the rows represent the actual classes(this is the format of the very popular Python library for ML: sklearn.
