Machine Learning Irish Poetry

The book Machine Learning Irish Poetry is a collection of fully AI-generated Irish poetry created by Passagetomb in collaboration with artist Kristian Glenn. The poetry draws inspiration from Ireland's rich oral and literary heritage, including hundreds of Irish poems, folk songs, plays, and myths, which were fed into the machine learning model. By training the computer to write in this tradition, the results abstract and synthesize the storytelling traditions, bringing new narratives to life with the help of new technologies. The book explores the significance of what is universal and particular and offers a unique perspective on the art of poetry.
