       | Hey HN! I've been lurking for a while now and I've finally
       | created something that I feel is worth sharing.
       | 
       | I've called this project "Tensorpedia." At its core, Tensorpedia
       | takes in a title and utilizes it as a prompt for GPT-2 to
       | synthesize the introductory part of a Wikipedia article. The
       | machine learning stuff is written using a wonderful library
       | called aitextgen [0], using Wikipedia's "Vital Articles" as a
       | data set [1]. The server is written in Node, and it uses Redis as
       | an article cache. If you want to read my article about it (for
       | some reason), you can check it out here [2].
       | 
       | I created this project to get more experience with server
       | technologies. While I wouldn't say it's a complicated
       | application, I learned quite a lot from it.
       | 
       | Additionally, as I was inspired by all of those this-x-
       | doesn't-exist projects from a while back, this project is mostly
       | for fun. As such, I don't know how much practical use it has, but
       | I've generated some pretty hilarious articles from it.

         | Have you thought of feeding it facts from
         | https://www.wikidata.org/ and let it construct articles that
         | way?

           | would feed it into the neural network. It's definitely a
           | possibility though!
