Joke-generator

Alexa Skill to read Jokes generated using a Deep Learning model.

Data

• We created a data crawler script to scrap jokes from reddit.

Pipeline

Models used

• We initially used a LSTM model for training, but this didn't yield good jokes.

• Then we decided to use GPT-2, since it is already trained on a huge corpus.

• As a result, our new model generated better jokes.

Future Scope

• Remove offensive jokes due to biased data
• 1 forward pass ~ 45 seconds
• Make the model fetching + reading out real time and automated
• Make the model learn the difference between Humour and Sarcasm, since they are both distinct
