Creating Your Own Tweet Generation Bot with HuggingTweets

Apr 5, 2022 | Educational

Ever dreamt of having a personal AI bot that generates tweets just like your favorite Twitter personalities? With HuggingTweets, you can turn that dream into a reality! In this blog, we will walk through the steps to create your own tweeting AI and explore its functionalities.

How Does It Work?

Simply put, HuggingTweets employs a pipeline that uses a pre-trained model and fine-tunes it on user-specific tweets. Here’s a simple analogy: think of HuggingTweets as a chef who learns to cook from a variety of recipes (the pre-trained GPT-2 model) but specializes in a specific cuisine (tweets from particular users). The chef then prepares dishes (tweets) based on the unique flavors (styles) of that specific cuisine.

You can visualize this process with the following pipeline:

Training the Model

The model is trained on a dataset of tweets collected from the #LetLeniLead campaign. Here’s a quick breakdown of the data:

  • Total Tweets Downloaded: 3114
  • Retweets: 544
  • Short Tweets: 273
  • Tweets Kept: 2297

To dive deeper into the dataset, you can explore the data.

Training Procedure

HuggingTweets is based on a pre-trained GPT-2 model and is fine-tuned using the tweets from @weirdokun. Various hyperparameters and metrics are logged throughout the training process, ensuring transparency and reproducibility.

At the end of the training session, the final model is logged and versioned for future use. You can check out the details from the WB training run to understand more.

How to Use the Model

To generate tweets using your trained model, run the following command in Python:

from transformers import pipeline
generator = pipeline(text-generation, model=huggingtweets/weirdokun)
generator("My dream is", num_return_sequences=5)

This code snippet allows you to prompt the AI with a starting phrase and receive a set of tweets generated by your AI bot!

Limitations and Bias

While HuggingTweets is a powerful tool, it is important to note that the model inherits the limitations and biases of its source, the GPT-2 model. Additionally, the specific data used in training can significantly impact the output’s tone and content.

Troubleshooting Ideas

If you encounter issues while setting up your HuggingTweets bot, consider the following troubleshooting tips:

  • Ensure that all dependencies are correctly installed and compatible with your Python version.
  • Check the training data for any inconsistencies or issues that may affect the model’s performance.
  • Review the configurations in the training script to ensure they align with your objectives.
