... maybe something could be done with a mix of n+7 and markov chain? the n+7 algorithm of the oulipo group sometimes have the same effect (replacing nouns in a text with the 7. next noun in a dictionary) -
"Call me islander. Some yeggs ago, having little or no mongol in my purulence and nothing particular to interest me on shortbread, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery partiality of the worriment." (N+7 job on moby dick). The following script W+ is a loose generalization, - any word is replaced (frequency 0-100%) and any number before or after its position in a dictionary. Try with some schematic text, like fairy tales, or how-tos, or CV? maybe works better than with completely free, creative writing? somehow draws upon a preestablished idea of a correct flow of certain txts http://noemata.net/pre.txt/w+.php --a source code at http://noemata.net/pre.txt/w+.php.txt - needs a dictionary in db to work, i could dump mine if any interest In addition the syntax should be a bit disrupted, not only the words. with some markov chain thing the text could meander out a bit inserting more surprising structural elements. Could come with a couple of parameters of $frequency and $deviance. And adjust it together. ...maybe try it one day - these online markov chain stuff need revamping. regards Bjørn On Wed, Mar 7, 2012 at 8:33 PM, James Morris <[email protected]> wrote: > > this amused me so am sharing the find. james. > > > -------------- > badivce: the home of bad advice > > "I can't get this cheap Transformer out of my toilet brush!
