- 3. 3 How do statisticaltext generators work? Demo 1. Open your smartphone keyboard (e.g. in notes) 2. Press on any suggested autocomplete word 3. Press 10-20 times on a random suggestion 4. You’ve just generated a sentence using an AI trained to sound similar to you! (if you squint your eyes) Autocomplete counted how often you used certain words after other words in previously typed texts Statistical model I have been trying to get hold of my client since the last few days
- 4. 4 Alternatively: handcrafting ruleswith grammars Babbly: my programming language for text generation with grammars import firstname.words food = pasta|pizza|sushi main = { 3: <firstname> loves <food.uppercase>! 1: <firstname> (quite|reasonably|fairly) likes <food>. Oo{1,3}h, I hope they join! 1: <firstname:protagonist> is not (quite){.5} fond of <food:>. <firstname:protagonist> will thus not go to the <food:> (restaurant|place). } Generates sentences like: • Jordi loves PIZZA! • Thomas is not quite fond of sushi. Thomas will thus not go to a sushi place. Available on github.com/twinters/babbly Other popular grammar modelling alternative: Tracery
