An application of RNNs

In this application, we will see how to create text using a character-based recurrent neural network. It is easy to change the corpus of text that to be used (see the example to follow); here, we will use the novel Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. We will train the network on this text so that, if we give it a character sequence such as thousan, it will produce the next character in the sequence, d. This process can be continued, and longer sequences of text created by calling the model repeatedly on the evolving sequence.

Here is an example of the text created before the model is trained:

Input: 
 'o else is there to inform?”\n\n“Is there no chance person who might identify you in the street?” said\n'
