What does HackerNews think of markovify?
A simple, extensible Markov chain generator.
Language:
Python
An easy way to get started that doesn't use pure ML is Markovify [1]. I used it for a couple of projects last year.
What I would do is use the Markovify python library and feed it with several texts from Project Gutenberg... try to generate some Lovecraftian prose or something...
I have to fully agree. The language-processing part is really simple (partly due to the really cool markovify library [1])
You may also like my older project [2] even though it is partly in German. I'm using Markov Chains for the titles and some custom regex-based language processing for the descriptions.
I bet whole source code of that engine can be found in Basic Usage section of https://github.com/jsvine/markovify
Yes! In 1948, Shannon proposed using a Markov chain to create a statistical model of the sequences of letters in a piece of English text and this model can be used to generate random text given some existing text. (http://www.cs.princeton.edu/courses/archive/spr05/cos126/ass...). Here is a GitHub implementation: https://github.com/jsvine/markovify Deep models like LSTM/RNN can probably produce better results.
