AfriKI: Machine-in-the-Loop Afrikaans Poetry Generation

EACL (HCINLP) 2021  ·  Imke van Heerden, Anil Bas ·

This paper proposes a generative language model called AfriKI. Our approach is based on an LSTM architecture trained on a small corpus of contemporary fiction. With the aim of promoting human creativity, we use the model as an authoring tool to explore machine-in-the-loop Afrikaans poetry generation. To our knowledge, this is the first study to attempt creative text generation in Afrikaans.
