Description
Lyric classification and generation are trending in topics in the machine learning community. Long Short-Term Networks (LSTMs) are effective tools for classifying and generating text. We explored their effectiveness in the generation and classification of lyrical data and proposed methods of evaluating their accuracy. We found that LSTM networks with dropout layers were effective at lyric classification. We also found that Word embedding LSTM networks were extremely effective at lyric generation.

Description
In the field of machine learning, reinforcement learning stands out for its ability to explore approaches to complex, high dimensional problems that outperform even expert humans. For robotic locomotion tasks reinforcement learning provides an approach to solving them without the need for unique controllers. In this thesis, two reinforcement learning algorithms, Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient and Group Factor Policy Search are compared based upon their performance in the bipedal walking environment provided by OpenAI gym. These algorithms are evaluated on their performance in the environment and their sample efficiency.
