Preparing text data for model input

Previously, you learned how to create dictionaries of indexes to words and vice versa. In this exercise, you will split the text by characters and continue to prepare the data for supervised learning.

Splitting the texts into characters may seem strange, but it is often done for text generation. Also, the process to prepare the data is the same, the only change is how to split the texts.

You will create the training data containing a list of fixed-length texts and their labels, which are the corresponding next characters.

You will continue to use the dataset containing quotes from Sheldon (The Big Bang Theory), available in the sheldon_quotes variable.

The print_examples() function print the pairs so you can see how the data was transformed. Use help() for details.

# Create lists to keep the sentences and the next character
sentences = []   # ~ Training data
next_chars = []  # ~ Training labels

# Define hyperparameters
step = ____          # ~ Step to take when reading the texts in characters
chars_window = ____ # ~ Number of characters to use to predict the next one  

# Loop over the text: length `chars_window` per time with step equal to `step`
for i in range(0, len(sheldon_quotes) - chars_window, step):
    sentences.____(sheldon_quotes[i:i + chars_window])
    next_chars.append(sheldon_quotes[____])

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.
