This is really impressive as a HS student great job!

Another way to augment how the news is written instead of focusing on templates you could also to do something like autocomplete.

Recall that GPT-2 is designed to predict the next word in a sequence. If you did conditional generation on the front part of the sentence then you could autocomplete the rest of the target sentence. (have up to five autocompleted versions that have the best sore).

Yes, I was thinking of implementing that and probably will soon. Usability wise, it make sense (and supports our mission statement), but in practice that means we need a GPU always available to do that (currently using Colab, meaning GPUs are scarce and I only have time to generate full articles rather than be able to attend to users' needs).

If this project does go somewhere, that'll be my next feature.

Since you are student you should look into Google cloud credits and use preemptible instances with GPU

I did :). And Google didn't give me any (mostly because I'm not an official "researcher" under a professor.

I do use GCP all the time though (make new accounts and utilize the sweet $300 in compute).

Inference might be able to be done on a CPU . Try that first
