Delicious recipe titles generated by neural network

I’ve been training a neural network (based on this open-source neural network framework from Andrej Karpathy [http://t.umblr.com/redirect?z=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fkarpathy%2Fchar-rnn&t=NDVkOGIwZmQ4NzM1ZjIxMTcwOGFhN2RjZjBlZjYyMjgzN2M5MzJmYyx2Q0pORUpRbQ%3D%3D&b=t%3AIinBpZOgiMHH_bphj7hrOQ&p=http%3A%2F%2Flewisandquark.tumblr.com%2Fpost%2F159062141927%

Irish Tune names, invented by neural network

By Janelle Shane On April 01, 2017 - 1 min read

So I play traditional Irish music (flute) and one thing about Irish music is that the tunes all have a distinctive kind of name. It’s hard to define what makes a tune name sound Irish, only that “Boil that Cabbage Down” doesn’t sound Irish, whereas “Whip the Mustard”

Three bad recipes generated by neural network

I’m training a neural network to generate recipes [http://lewisandquark.tumblr.com/post/140219420017/the-silicon-gourmet-training-a-neural-network-to] based on a database of about 30,000 examples, and although the network has managed to produce identifiable recipes, and even sometimes sort sweet from savory, it hasn’t actually managed to produce any

Cthulhu in the Kitchen

By Janelle Shane On March 29, 2017 - 1 min read

In a previous experiment [http://lewisandquark.tumblr.com/post/141313469232/cooking-with-cthulhu], I let a neural network trained on the complete works of H. P. Lovecraft finish phrases from cookbook recipes. Now, I tried it the other way around, in which I gave phrases from Lovecraftian horror to an innocent neural

Cooking with Cthulhu

Here’s what you get when you give incomplete cookbook recipes to a neural network trained on the complete works of H. P. Lovecraft: > Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 32 minutes. Test corners to see if done, as center will seem like the next horror of Second

The neural network doesn’t understand proper nouns.

By Janelle Shane On March 18, 2016 - 1 min read

As the neural network begins to get better at generating cookbook recipes [http://lewisandquark.tumblr.com/post/140219420017/the-silicon-gourmet-training-a-neural-network-to] , it continues to have trouble with recipe sources - short and highly varied, they’re a challenge for an algorithm that learns by repetition. Still, it does its best: Source: Carrots
