Pseudo-Random Text Generator

Markov-Generator

Generate pseudo-random texts using Markov chains as input.

Using from shell

A convenience script is provided. Pass the files you want to use a learn experience, and the script will read them and generate a sentence.

    $ php markov.php FILE1 FILE2 ....

Using from php

The API is dead simple: first train, then generate.

$markov = new MarkoGenerator();

// train the model
foreach (trainSet() as $sentence)
    $markov->learn($sentence);

// generate a 5-words length sentence
echo $markov->generate(5);

Shakespeare Sonet

This sonet was generated using Shakespeare's Sonets 140 to 157 as trainning input.

The likeness of a man,
Or if they have, where is my sin, grounded on
Not, then love doth well denote,
Words, and words express
Random from the truth vainly expressed:
Give the lie to my love,
View is pleased to dote.
Why of two oaths' breach do I accuse thee,
Whilst her neglected child holds her in chase,
Sees not till heaven clears.
With others thou shouldst not abhor my state.
Spirit a woman coloured ill.
  On that which longer nurseth the disease,
  Triumph in love; flesh stays no farther reason.
