De BBC beschrijft de rapgenerator Deep Flow, die het Meertens Instituut samen met de Universiteit Antwerpen ontwikkelde, in een artikel over artificiële intelligentie en muziek componeren:

Researchers at the University of Antwerp and the Meertens Institute in Amsterdam have created a rap song generator they have called Deep Flow. They fed a language processing algorithm with a vast collection of rap and hip hop lyrics to teach it come up with its own. The results are foul-mouthed but realistic looking lyrics. So much so that the research team created an online game that challenges rap fans to distinguish between real hip hop lyrics and those spat out by their machine.' Naar het volledige artikel.
