Imagine that we have a large body of text, a series of sequels that has been going on for decades. Using NLP and Deep Learning - can we train our computer to write a short story by itself? Can we hint the plot but let the machine fabricate the rest? In this talk I'll describe the whole journey: A fun ride from the idea to the very end including all the struggles, failures and successes.

Steps, we'll cover:

• The data challenge: get the data ready
• Have it run on your Mac with PyTorch and an eGPU
• Creating a character-level language models with an Recurrent Neural Network
• Visualising and getting an understanding what is actually trained
• Creating a generator
• Verifying the texts generated
• Getting published and getting picked up by HBO ;)
