TV Script Generation

In this project, you'll generate your own Simpsons TV scripts using RNNs. You'll be using part of the Simpsons dataset of scripts from 27 seasons. The Neural Network you'll build will generate a new TV script for a scene at Moe's Tavern.

Get the Data

The data is already provided for you. You'll be using a subset of the original dataset. It consists of only the scenes in Moe's Tavern. This doesn't include other versions of the tavern, like "Moe's Cavern", "Flaming Moe's", "Uncle Moe's Family Feed-Bag", etc..

Homer_Simpson: I got my problems, Moe. Give me another one.
Moe_Szyslak: Homer, hey, you should not drink to forget your problems.
Barney_Gumble: Yeah, you should only drink to enhance your social skills.


Implement Preprocessing Functions

The first thing to do to any dataset is preprocessing. Implement the following preprocessing functions below:

  • Lookup Table
  • Tokenize Punctuation

Lookup Table

To create a word embedding, you first need to transform the words to ids. In this function, create two dictionaries:

  • Dictionary to go from the words to an id, we'll call vocab_to_int
  • Dictionary to go from the id to word, we'll call int_to_vocab

Return these dictionaries in the following tuple (vocab_to_int, int_to_vocab)

def create_lookup_tables(text):
    """

Tests Passed

Tokenize Punctuation

We'll be splitting the script into a word array using spaces as delimiters. However, punctuations like periods and exclamation marks make it hard for the neural network to distinguish between the word "bye" and "bye!".

Implement the function token_lookup to return a dict that will be used to tokenize symbols like "!" into "||Exclamation_Mark||". Create a dictionary for the following symbols where the symbol is the key and value is the token:

  • Period ( . )
  • Comma ( , )
  • Quotation Mark ( " )
  • Semicolon ( ; )
  • Exclamation mark ( ! )
  • Question mark ( ? )
  • Left Parentheses ( ( )
  • Right Parentheses ( ) )
  • Dash ( -- )
  • Return ( \n )

This dictionary will be used to token the symbols and add the delimiter (space) around it. This separates the symbols as it's own word, making it easier for the neural network to predict on the next word. Make sure you don't use a token that could be confused as a word. Instead of using the token "dash", try using something like "||dash||".

The TV Script is Nonsensical

It's ok if the TV script doesn't make any sense. We trained on less than a megabyte of text. In order to get good results, you'll have to use a smaller vocabulary or get more data. Luckly there's more data! As we mentioned in the begging of this project, this is a subset of another dataset. We didn't have you train on all the data, because that would take too long. However, you are free to train your neural network on all the data. After you complete the project, of course.
