Introduction

HuggingTweets is a project that allows users to create AI models for text generation based on a specific user's tweets. It leverages the power of GPT-2, a pre-trained model, fine-tuned on the tweet data of the user @nearcyan.

Architecture

The model architecture is based on the GPT-2 transformer model. It uses a structured pipeline to process the data and generate text outputs. The pipeline is designed to handle the text generation tasks efficiently, starting from data collection to model fine-tuning and deployment.

Training

The model was trained using a dataset consisting of tweets from the user @nearcyan. The dataset included 3,246 tweets, out of which 2,978 tweets were used after filtering out retweets and short tweets. The training process involved fine-tuning the GPT-2 model on these tweets, with hyperparameters and metrics tracked using Weights & Biases (W&B) for transparency and reproducibility.

Guide: Running Locally

  1. Installation: Ensure you have Python and the necessary libraries installed. You can install the Transformers library using pip:

    pip install transformers
    
  2. Model Usage: Use the model for text generation with the following code:

    from transformers import pipeline
    generator = pipeline('text-generation', model='huggingtweets/nearcyan')
    generator("My dream is", num_return_sequences=5)
    
  3. Hardware Suggestions: For optimal performance, especially with larger models, consider using cloud-based GPU services such as Google Colab, AWS, or Azure.
