This Word Does Not Exist

This is a project allows people to train a variant of GPT-2 that makes up words, definitions and examples from scratch.

For example

incromulentness (noun)

lack of sincerity or candor

"incromulentness in the manner of speech"

Generating Words / Running Inference

Python deps are in https://github.com/turtlesoupy/this-word-does-not-exist/blob/master/cpu_deploy_environment.yml

Pre-trained model files:

• Blacklist: https://storage.googleapis.com/this-word-does-not-exist-models/blacklist.pickle.gz
• Forward Model (word -> definition): https://storage.googleapis.com/this-word-does-not-exist-models/forward-dictionary-model-v1.tar.gz
• Inverse model (definition -> word): https://storage.googleapis.com/this-word-does-not-exist-models/inverse-dictionary-model-v1.tar.gz

To use them:

from title_maker_pro.word_generator import WordGenerator
word_generator = WordGenerator(
  device="cpu",
  forward_model_path="<somepath1>",
  inverse_model_path="<somepath2>",
  blacklist_path="<blacklist>",
  quantize=False,
)

# a word from scratch:
print(word_generator.generate_word())

# definition for a word you make up
print(word_generator.generate_definition("glooberyblipboop")) 

# new word made up from a definition
print(word_generator.generate_word_from_definition("a word that does not exist")) 

Training a model

For raw thoughts, take a look at some of the notebooks in https://github.com/turtlesoupy/this-word-does-not-exist/tree/master/notebooks

To train, you'll need to find a dictionary -- there is code to extract from

• Apple dictionaries in https://github.com/turtlesoupy/this-word-does-not-exist/blob/master/title_maker_pro/dictionary_definition.py (e.g. /System/Library/Assets/com_apple_MobileAsset_DictionaryServices_dictionaryOSX/).
• Urban dictionary in https://github.com/turtlesoupy/this-word-does-not-exist/blob/master/title_maker_pro/urban_dictionary_scraper.py

After extracting a dictionary you can use the master training script: https://github.com/turtlesoupy/this-word-does-not-exist/blob/master/title_maker_pro/train.py. A sample recent run is https://github.com/turtlesoupy/this-word-does-not-exist/blob/master/scripts/sample_run_parsed_dictionary.sh
