Description

Recent work in Natural Language Processing (NLP) has created machine learning models that can generate language very similarly to humans using deep learning models called Transformers. A Transformer-based model called GPT-2 may improve a creative writing tool that generates a continuation of a story for a writer. This proposal explores research to determine whether the application of GPT-2 along with suggestions from prior studies will improve coherence and creativity of suggestions in creative writing tools. To determine the success of this tool, I will collect user feedback to comparatively determine if this implementation improves upon previous systems, and where it still has room to improve.
