Ooof dah. A master's thesis is not much time, so at best I can suggest only quick hacks. And you probably mostly would not need opencog to implement them.
One quick hack would be to try to discover which bundles or groups of words dominate nearby paragraphs, and which groups of words recur throughout the story. You can then replace those words by other words. Alternately, if two paragraphs are closely tied to one-another, but weakly tied to the rest of the text, you can cut them out entirely, and replace them by some other paragraphs from elsewhere (after adjusting word-content). By "words", I really mean nouns and entity names, and all the pronouns that refer to them (he, she, it ...) just try to see which ones are near to one-another, maybe that's enough to "understand" what a paragraph is talking about. Verbs might be fun to play with. but you want to avoid creating sentences like "green ideas sleep furiously". Thus, cutting and replacing entire paragraphs makes more sense; and then adjust the nouns so that the story is still about the same topics. --linas On Sun, Oct 1, 2017 at 9:50 PM, William Taylor <[email protected]> wrote: > Thank you for responding.
