clean.py is the original cleaning code that I used when adding hamlet.txt to tinyshakespeare.txt.

play.py is the newer version, which includes stripping folger prefix in file and dir names and options to format the plays and concatenate them into one text file for training.

sp.txt and sp-prefix.txt are the output files. sp-prefix.txt was the one I eventually used. They only contain the plays, not poems and sonnets. (See shakespeare-works folder).

sp.txt - texts in the files directly related Folger were stripped away, and add <|endoftext|> between each play.

sp-prefix.txt - in addition to sp.txt, removed ACT and SCENE headers and separators, and prefixed each play with a unique number.

• Try to train Huggingface Transformer...
  • Didn't know how to properly make a dataset
  • Didn't know how to use top-k sampling in the Huggingface pipeline, with the pytorch model (Didin't try TF2 model)
    • So I got worse results than my first attempt with TF1 using gpt2-simple
• Convert TF1 model into PyTorch
  • No "constants" file in pytorch_model.bin (tch-rs couldn't load it)
• Convert TF1 to mmdn IR (and eventually PyTorch)
  • Didn't know the output node name
• Save original fine-tuned GPT-2 into Keras

  • Couldn't load in TFJS
• Trying to load from sonos/tract
  • Feature incomplete: "stateless evaluation not implemented"

• Quickly check if a file is valid UTF-8

iconv -f UTF-8 -t UTF-8 FILE > /dev/nul (valid utf-8 if no error and/or return code is 0)

• Diff two directories https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2019857/diff-files-present-in-two-different-directories

In short: diff -ur dir1 dir2

Train model with aitextgen, and use a proper backend instead of trying to put everying into the browser.
