More candy hearts by neural network

Last week I trained a neural network to generate new messages for candy hearts. They were, well, unique.

My training data was really small, though - I could only find about 360 existing messages total. So, when I decided to generate some more messages, I decided to add my favorite neural network-generated messages to the original dataset, increasing the total to almost 500. This is still really small for a neural network, but a noticeable upgrade.

The first thing I noticed is the definite upswing in the number of messages involving bears. In fact, I’m seeing worrying signs of a bear-based feedback loop that might lead to 100% bear content after a few more iterations of this.

In addition to the bears, the neural network still managed to produce some complimentary messages.
