H.A.M. Office [Human Audited Machine Generated Poems]

Summary

My main task at H.A.M. office was to was to employ machine learning to establish a new methodology that augmented the process of textual content production. The output of this process would then be edited by myself, to create poems from which humans could derive meaning. The machine was allowed to lead creatively, I only translated the output.
