RNNs with Darknet

Installing Darknet

• We need to install our modified version of Darknet:
• Darknet Installation

Using RNNs with Darknet

• Getting some calculated weights from several writers:

wget https://pjreddie.com/media/files/shakespeare.weights
wget https://pjreddie.com/media/files/kant.weights
wget https://pjreddie.com/media/files/shakespeare.weights

• Generating new text

cd darknet
./darknet rnn generate cfg/rnn.cfg shakespeare.weights -srand 0

• Parameters:

-srand N -> N determines the random seed

• Training with other corpus of text
• We can modify file cfg/rnn.train.cfg file (batch = 50 is the value we set by default, the original value was 256)

• Some online corpus of text:
