Writing “Hello World” with a Neural Network
If you are trying to write an application that will generate text, you are probably trying to implement a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN). Many “Hello World” neural network tutorials do things like generate Shakespeare stanzas or poetry. This is amazing and unreasonably effective, but a lot to take in for a first go at using something like Tensorflow and establishing the intuition about what is happening under the hood and why.
Instead, let’s try to simply generate the text “Hello World” using an RNN. This is my attempt to generate a simple and understandable RNN, while simultaneously creating the most challenging way to generate the string “Hello World”.
