Blackmirror - Creating your digital twin
Starting from a set of sentences describing your personality, thoughts, hobbies, and personal info we will create a digital copy of you to interact with. The combined architecture of a vanilla version of GPT-2 and specialized DL models will allow you to perform varied tasks in a cost-effective approach Moreover, we will create a DL model capable of profiling users in real-time, based on the ongoing conversation with our Digital Twins.
