Introduction

We develop a system using long short-term memory recurrent neural networks to generate style-imitative text based on Sherlock Holmes novels. We investigate the per- formance of this system against that of Markov models, and vary hyperparameters (specifically, node and hidden layer numbers as well as training epochs) for LSTM- RNNs to gauge the effectiveness of particular system configurations in generating text, and evaluate results using a modification to the BLEU metric.
