Generate sentence with context

In this exercise, you are going to experiment on a pre-trained model for text generation. The model is already loaded in the environment in the model variable, as well as the initialize_params() and get_next_token() functions.

This later uses the pre-trained model to predict the next character and return three variables: the next character next_char, the updated sentence res and the the shifted text seq that will be used to predict the next one.

You will define a function that receives a pre-trained model and a string that will be the start of the generated sentence as inputs. This is a good practice to generate text with context. The sentence limit of 100 characters is an example, you can use other limits (or even without limit) in your applications.

Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) for Language Modeling with Keras

Exercise instructions

Pass the initial_text variable to the initialize_params() function.
Create conditions to stop the loop when the counter reaches 100 or a dot (r'.') is found.
Pass the initial values res, seq to the get_next_token() function to obtain the next char.
Print the example phrase generated by the defined function.

Hands-on interactive exercise

Have a go at this exercise by completing this sample code.

def generate_phrase(model, initial_text):
    # Initialize variables  
    res, seq, counter, next_char = initialize_params(____)
    
    # Loop until stop conditions are met
    while counter < ____ ____ next_char != r'.':
      	# Get next char using the model and append to the sentence
        next_char, res, seq = get_next_token(model, ____, ____)
        # Update the counter
        counter = counter + 1
    return res
  
# Create a phrase
print(____(model, "I am not insane, "))

In this chapter, you will learn the foundations of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN). Starting with some prerequisites, continuing to understanding how information flows through the network and finally seeing how to implement such models with Keras in the sentiment classification task.

Exercise 1: Introduction to the course Exercise 2: Comparing the number of parameter of RNN and ANN Exercise 3: Sentiment analysis Exercise 4: Sequence to sequence models Exercise 5: Introduction to language models Exercise 6: Getting used to text data Exercise 7: Preparing text data for model input Exercise 8: Transforming new text Exercise 9: Introduction to RNN inside Keras Exercise 10: Keras models Exercise 11: Keras preprocessing Exercise 12: Your first RNN model

You will learn about the vanishing and exploding gradient problems, often occurring in RNNs, and how to deal with them with the GRU and LSTM cells. Furthermore, you'll create embedding layers for language models and revisit the sentiment classification task.

This chapter introduces you to two applications of RNN models: Text Generation and Neural Machine Translation. You will learn how to prepare the text data to the format needed by the models. The Text Generation model is used for replicating a character's way of speech and will have some fun mimicking Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory. Neural Machine Translation is used for example by Google Translate in a much more complex model. In this chapter, you will create a model that translates Portuguese small phrases into English.
