TinyShakespeare

40,000 lines of Shakespeare from a variety of Shakespeare's plays. Featured in Andrej Karpathy's blog post 'The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Recurrent Neural Networks': karpathy.github.io/2015/05/21/rnn-effectiveness/. To use for e.g. character modelling: ``` d = datasets.load_dataset(name='tiny_shakespeare')['train'] d = d.map(lambda x: datasets.Value('strings').unicode_split(x['text'], 'UTF-8')) # train split includes vocabulary for other splits vocabulary = sorted(set(next(iter(d)).numpy())) d = d.map(lambda x: {'cur_char': x[:-1], 'next_char': x[1:]}) d = d.unbatch() seq_len = 100 batch_size = 2 d = d.batch(seq_len) d = d.batch(batch_size) ```
