Rhymes from a high-schooler's machine learning system trained on Kanye lyrics

Neural Network Written Rap Song

Robbie Barrat is president and founder of their high school computer science club; they created Rapper-Neural-Network, a free software project that uses machine learning trained on a corpus of 6,000 Kanye West lines to autogenerate new rap songs.

“It’s a neural network that has been trained on rap songs, and can use any lyrics you feed it and write a new song (it now writes word by word as opposed to line by line) that rhymes and has a flow (to an extent).”

You an addict of cheating but I took the charge
Stop running up my money tall, height advantage
Ohhhhh, ohhhh; ohhh you too much to handle in one package
Not now but right now, you know… I had to go downtown
Shorty come and fix you up like bobby brown
Then he help me get my back up in this part of town
I can make you come and fix you up like bobby brown
Driving in the sky, you got a new crib to hold down
Shit’s about to go and put my mack berry down
