A silly project to generate UK government style petitions via a GPT-2 transformer.

You can view the generated petitions here: https://elleo.github.io/petition_generator/

To generate your own output you can download a checkpoint from the releases section and unpack it in the project directory, or train yourself (see below)

Install the requirements by running pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Then simply run ./generate.py to output a petition

The generate_json.py script can be used to add additional entries to the pregenerated.json file which is used by the HTML viewer.

To train the model ensure you've checked out the uk_petitions_data submodule by running git submodule update --init

Then just run ./train.py
