random answer/sayings generator

[lolo]

this is probably v easy but i have no idea, i am after finding some sort of app for a website that generates random sentences from say a beginning, middle and end of sentences that are loaded into it - any ideas? thanks

 

[emanymton]

Not what you are after but just got:

Nobody knows why a box angrily destroyed a flaming shampoo bottle.

 

[lolo]

ah that is sort of it ta, will contact them and aks for more advice/info

 

[dessiato]

That link is fun, I hope to use this one day:

Sometimes, the fox nervously cleaned a screaming chair.

 

[emanymton]

It's great.

Only one alien politely sat on the royal police car.

 

[Greebo]

The box regularly destroyed a screaming book.

This could be useful for opening lines.

 

[rollinder]

Nobody knows why a monster dramatically ate the grumpy chair.

ah that is sort of it ta, will contact them and aks for more advice/info

looking at the source and exploring the linked site they seem to have used this bit of code several times for each part of the sentence

Isn't that what they call a Markov chain? Example of one here: http://www.beetleinabox.com/mkv_input.html

Can't find an app or code at a cursory search.

Look even if they were using it, the Tories would never confess.

Only one evil potato dramatically laughed at the deadly shampoo bottle.

[free spirit]

And so, the box dramatically wrote about a electronic book.

Someone beat me to it, but one solution is to use markov chains.

Put simply you analyse the input and assign probabilities to each word/punctuation that govern what the next word or punctuation item will be.

So if you stuck in "hello my head is my weapon, oh my." the word 'my' has a chance of being followed by 'head', 'weapon or '.' Each is equally likely so is assigned a probability of 33%.

For longer texts you end up with a massive set of data. You pick a random starting word (from the words that can possibly start sentences) and each word is followed by another picked at random from the possibilities.

I implemented on once with the idea of scanning the boards for all the posts by a given poster then spitting back out random posts in their style Never finished it though.

It's super easy in java

interface Word
void addFollowingWord(String word); //add to list of words
string getNextWord(); //select a random word from all the posibilities
 
interface WordFactory
Word getWord(); //store all the words in one place, creating new ones as needed
 
interface DocBuilder
void addWord(Word word);//add the word and correct whitespace.
String getDoc();//spit out the whole doc.

that's it. To use it.

//analyse document
currentWord =WordFactory.getWord("<START>"); //this means it will always start with a known starting word
for (String s: document){ //you can use string tokenizer for this
currentWord.addNextWord(s):
currentWord = WordFactory.getWord(s);
}
//generate document
currentWord =WordFactory.getWord("<START>");
while (i<generationLength){
currentWord = currentWord.getNextWord();
DocBuilder.addWord(currentWord);
}
// do something with DocBuilder.getDoc

CODE

That doesn't do a Markov chain - does it?

To OP: you could go for something simpler if you fix the grammatical structure rather than doing a Markov chain - ask the Daily Mail Headline Generator and see their description of why they didn't bother with flexible grammar

I thought it did. Assigning probabilities to the next action then take it.

I'll look up markov chains again.

 

[fractionMan]

" The Markov property states that the conditional probability distribution for the system at the next step (and in fact at all future steps) depends only on the current state of the system, and not additionally on the state of the system at previous steps."

"The changes of state of the system are called transitions, and the probabilities associated with various state-changes are called transition probabilities. The set of all states and transition probabilities completely characterizes a Markov chain. By convention, we assume all possible states and transitions have been included in the definition of the processes, so there is always a next state and the process goes on forever."

Basically, you've got a word. Using that word you randomly choose the next word using a set of probabilities. The set of probabilities is generated when you consume some source document.

That's what that pseudo code does (note I didn't implement the interfaces)

I remembered precisely because someone did that for another forum I go on, and the results were uncanny, gibberish in a completely recognisable style!

Not bad for a first go!

Needs some word around things like quotes, brackets and numbers, but other than that it's working well.

Ok, everyone else has lost interest, but here's the code.

It's a java jar file containing source code and binaries. This means you can run it from the command line and also examine how it works.
