Automatic Song Lyric Generation and Classification with Long Short-Term Networks

abstract: Lyric classification and generation are trending in topics in the machine learning community. Long Short-Term Networks (LSTMs) are effective tools for classifying and generating text. We explored their effectiveness in the generation and classification of lyrical data and proposed methods of evaluating their accuracy. We found that LSTM networks with dropout layers were effective at lyric classification. We also found that Word embedding LSTM networks were extremely effective at lyric generation
