This project aims to implement a generative model to learn the speech style of Mr. Donald Trump based on a dataset of his speeches; and then, automatically generate an unlimited amount of new speeches in the vein of Trump´s previous speeches.

Mr. Donald J. Trump Tweet Generation with LSTMs

• : Character level
• : Word level

Text generation is a popular problem in natural language processing with machine learning. It ranges from simple email replies, word suggestions to simulating DNA sequences, and unfortunately fake news. This project aims to implement a generative model to learn the speech style of Mr. Donald Trump based on a dataset of his speeches; and then, automatically generate an unlimited amount of new speeches in the vein of Trump´s previous speeches.

Dataset description

This project uses a dataset from Kaggle that contained Donald J. Trump’s tweets from between May 2009 to August 2018. The dataset originally included 7 columns: source, text, created_at, retweet_count, favorite_count, is_retweet, and id_str.

Getting Started

This project was originally built on Google Colab. You can either upload the .ipynb notebooks to Colab or install dependencies locally on your computer.

Using Google Colab

• Upload the .ipynb as a notebook in google colab.
• Upload the dataset to the right folder.
• Change path to the dataset in the code.

Run locally

You need to have Python installed in your computer.

1. Install virtualenv:

   pip install virtualenv

2. Create a Python virtual environment:

   virtualenv venv

3. Activate virtual environment:

   1. Windows:

   cd venv\Scripts
   activate
   cd ..\..

   2. Lunix / Mac:

   source venv/bin/activate

4. Install libraries:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
