GPT2 for English Rap
For this project, I propose to use a pretrained GPT2 model in English and fine-tune it to learn to English rap.

Model
A GPT2 model, pretrained in English can be found here: gpt2 · Hugging Face 4

Datasets
The model can be fine-tuned on a variety of publicly available lyrics of rap songs. The team can choose whatever lyrics they like.

Available training scripts
A training script to fine-tune a GPT2 model in Flax is available here 13

(Optional) Desired project outcome
The desired project output is a GPT2 model that can drop bars 8. Ideally the model is able to generate a whole rap song.

(Optional) Challenges
It might be difficult to find enough data and to homogenize it well.

(Optional) Links to read upon
There are some nice articles on GPT2 models that can rap:
