Introduction

As part of a project course in my second semester, we were tasked with building a system of our chosing that encorporated or showcased any of the Computational Intelligence techniques we learned about in class. For our project, we decided to investigate the application of Recurrent Neural Networks to the task of building a Subreddit recommender system for Reddit users. In this post, I outline some of the implementation details of the final system. A minimal webapp for the final model can be interacted with here, The final research paper for the project can be found here and my collaboraters on the project are Barbara Garza and Suren Oganesian. The github repo for the project can be found here with this jupyter notebook being here.

Model Hypothesis

The goal of the project is to utilize the sequence prediction power of RNN's to...
