The efficacy of these networks in mimicking Shakespeare, Linux source code, and other forms of text have already been demonstrated. In this paper, we show that character-level RNNs are capable of very believably mimicking the language of Pres...

The Role of Temporal Amplitude Modulations in the Political Arena: Hillary Clinton vs. Donald Trump

Moreover, rhythmic amplitude modulations have been shown to have beneficial effects on language processing and the subjective impression listeners have of the speaker. This study investigated the ro...
