The 6-gram Story
Jerry Sandusky Goes Meta
I built a N-gram story teller like my 7-gram, but this one has been pruned down to six words and what it does is it goes through the text and it looks at every word and the word immediately after it. It takes the first and makes that the entry in the dictionary and the word after one of its buddies. So you get something like DOG: JUMPS EATS SHOOTS PLAYS. Then what it does is it looks at the last letter in the 6-gram string, which is the dictionary entry and randomly picks one of the possible choices and taking that choice, finds a 6-gram starting with that word and uses it for the next six word sequence; then repeat. Sometimes the particular way a word is causes the loop you see here at the end to happen. Sometimes that ain’t so bad, sometimes, it is in fact perfect.
