Textgen

Support for Tensorflow 2.1 added! (thanks to 165 by ZerxXxes!)

TF 2.1 is now the minimum version in light of this migration. (which has both CPU and GPU support). If you need to use TF 1.X, use an older version.

Two major features:

Synthesis (beta)

Generate text using two (or more!) trained models simultaneously. See [this notebook](https://github.com/minimaxir/textgenrnn/blob/master/docs/textgenrnn-synthesize.ipynb) for a demo.

The results are messier than usual so a lower `temperature` is recommended. It should work on both char-level and word-level models, or a mix of both. (however, I do not recommending mixing line-delimited and full text models!)

Please file issues if there are errors!

Generate Progress Bar

Thanks to `tqdm`, all `generate` functions show a progress bar! You can override this by passing `progress=False` to the function.

Additionally, the default generate temperature is now `[1.0, 0.5, 0.2, 0.2]`!

Features

* Interactive mode, which lets you control which text is added. (52, thanks Juanets !)
* Allow backends other than TensorFlow (44, thanks torokati44 !)
* Allow periodic weights saving (37, thanks IrekRybark !)
* Multi-GPU support (beta: see 62 )

Fixes

* Handle `prefix` in word-level models correctly.

Emergency bug fix to address 57 which occurs in newer Keras versions.

* Added ability to cycle temperatures during training (see [this notebook](https://github.com/minimaxir/textgenrnn/blob/master/docs/textgenrnn-temp-cycle.ipynb) for more information
* Added utf-8 encoding for vocab export.
* Added alias for `train_on_texts(new_model=True)` to `train_new_model`.
* Fixed an issue where specifying `dropout` could cause issues.
