The Poetic Hivemind

For my master thesis 'I, rowboat: The Intricacies of AI & Poetry' in the Interface Cultures program of the Arts University in Linz I built an app called 'The Poetic Hivemind'. The app provided its users with a daily inspiration to write a poem. The contributed poems were then used to fine tune a GPT-2 model to generate more of the type of poems.

In my session I'm going to give a demo of that app, show the training and generation process and also talk about the theoretical points made in my thesis.

Check the schedule for a related discussion session.

This project is hosted on a third party website.


We're hoping that many efforts and discussions will continue after Mozfest. Share any ideas you already have for how to continue the work from your session.:
