• Install the required packages:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Download app details, which include Steam store descriptions

Store descriptions are parsed from app details, which can be downloaded with steam_spy.py in my steam-api repository.

A data snapshot is available in my steam-api-data Github repository.

python export_description_data.py

A data snapshot is available in data/.

Fine-tune a pre-trained GPT-2 model

Run the gpt_2_for_descriptions.ipynb notebook on Google Colab, which relies on the gpt_2_simple package.
