What is this project's significance to the bitcointalk forum? Shouldn't this be on the service sub-board, since it sounds like you're offering a service?

Um I am kind of doing this for fun and as a way of analyzing Bitcointalk forum threads in an attempt to do some personal NLP based academic research by modeling a few phenomena relevant to this forum. I am not providing a service to anyone. I do want to share the results and definitely will take requests and yeah I will make everything open source.

I was actually going to ask where this awesome nonsense ("bullshit makes the flowers grow") should go. It is not 'bitcointalk forum software', it is not a service, it is not off topic. The best guess I had was meta but am open to suggestions.

Train the network with just my posts and gib a paragraph?

I don't understand the question. Right now I am just building the post crawler in a silly but well workable manner, there will be a user interface to input the parameters for the crawl. I literally started yesterday so have to start somewhere.

I was going to start by something fun, just to get some pieces in place, so word clouds of various coins or different types of users like miners versus ecenomic traders.

But where it gets more interesting is doing more sophisticated modeling so that the bitcointalk forum data can tell stories I can then share with you all. For example we could take and build decision tree ensembles (great for heterogeneous feature sets) which classify user types or do topic modeling. And then of course literally invert them and apply leave and bark textures (you will still be able to read off the splitting criteria) because I am learning game development now...
