Generate realistic book titles for an author using the GPT-2 generative model.
Artists can have a particular way of naming their creations (movies, books, music albums, or song titles...) and it is common to sometimes feel that some of those titles remind you of a particular author, maybe because they follow a similar style, or because the topics are already familiar. Hence, we present a system capable of generating non-existing book titles for a given author, following a similar style and topics that feel like books that the author could have written.
By fine-tuning a GPT-2 model using the publicly available GoodReads dataset, we create a model with the ability to generate realistic sounding book titles. Our pre-trained model can be downloaded here. Then, by feeding a list of already published book titles of an author, the model is used to generate new entries in that list, thus generating similar titles to those fed. The same GTP-2 model is used to calculate similarity to already existing titles of that author by averaging word embeddings of the existing/generated titles.
A list ordered by similarity is returned as the output.
