Match TV is a federal sports TV channel, as well as a website with news, interviews, sports statistics and match broadcasts
Solution
Neural network service for real-time news headline generation
To launch sports channels in Telegram and Twitter, which will be led by artificial intelligence. The project was timed to coincide with the 2020 European Football Championship
Task
Main information

How it works
02/
A neural network analyzes news headlines and creates its own variations
The editor looks through the options and selects the most interesting ones
Headlines with summaries of the news are published on Match TV channels
«The neural network was trained on Match TV news headlines and the yellow press. That's why the choices it offered were quite provocative. The best headlines were selected and published manually»
Service features
03/
The neural network was packed into a Telegram chat bot for convenience
The neural network answered questions. The editor could ask them through the bot
The service could finish the headline - the editor just needed to make up the beginning

GPT-2
(Generative Pre-trained Transformer 2) is an open-source AI developed by the American company OpenAI
Now we have created a pipeline for generating any text - not only news titles, but also, for example, product names, product descriptions. The only thing we will need is data on which the neural network can learn
