This May, I concluded my M.S. in Data Science Program and my Capstone project on song lyric generation. While I doubt any of them are going to be hits (most of the generated songs still require a bit of editing, and saying that there’s evidence of a narrative is a stretch), it taught me a great deal about how neural networks can be used for language modeling. And, I got a few interesting songs out of it, like the one below:
[VERSE]
You got pictures and me
I am sick of having to keep my head in the world
The stands through the fence
Many reasons hurt heavy, they are working in the depths, then it took my number one baby
Oh my last friend
[CHORUS]
Believe one, yeah
Amber Paul, fever, waist
Waist, waist
Ah, ah ah
[POST CHORUS]
There is a party to release
[VERSE]
Tell me your love
All at these days
Tell them the girl
Stone to slaughter
You got a love
So one I do
Here that ends them murder
I will die this long will you be
I will trip alone with a friend, aloud
[BRIDGE]
Come a love in a dilly
Kissing my curve in the sky
[CHORUS]
Believe one, yeah
Amber Paul, fever, waist
Waist, waist
Ah, ah ah
[VERSE]
Much hello knows before angels feeling?
I know how I cut out to me
Why I love my love
My heartless bite
Like snows time
She is hot as long, but what new kids
I think that way, drinking wine, it is not over me
[VERSE]
There is nothing else
They will heal
As he truly’s breeding
Mitts lasting and leg
I would rest’ve lasting, my faith are cold in bed
Stole the sorrow
Forgetting the instinct, then he took up and you used to live it is not good enough
Now you have got to me
[BRIDGE]
You are talking
It is only gonna make you ruin?
[CHORUS]
Believe one, yeah
Amber Paul, fever, waist
Waist, waist
Ah, ah ah
[POST CHORUS]
She give you standing to you
[OUTRO]
Square one thing when we catch a criminal to touch this own, no longer no last
Ever telling to let it bleed
And I cannot be
If you’re interested in seeing how I did this/learning more about my project, my Capstone repository on GitHub has everything you’ll need to recreate the results of this project, or generate your own songs.
If you’re looking for less-technical overview of my work, I’ve included my final paper below, which goes over my motivation, methodology, and evaluation.
