We present Poet’s Little Helper (PLH), a tool that implements a methodology to generate poetry using minimal language-dependent information. The user only needs to provide a corpus with a set of sentences, a rhyme checker and a syllable-counter. From these building blocks, PLH produces: (1) an exploratory analysis of the suitability of the given corpus for poetry generation. (2) a novel and non...

Part of the long lasting cultural heritage of humanity is the art of classical poems, which are created by fitting words into certain formats and representations. Automatic poetry composition by computers is considered as a challenging problem which requires high Artificial Intelligence assistance. This study attracts more and more attention in the research community. In this paper, we formulat...

The forms of Chinese classic poetry have been developed through thousands years of history and are still current in today’s poetry society. A re-classification of the rhyming words, however, is necessary for the classic poetry writing to be done in the new settings of modern Chinese language. In order to maintain the continuation of the poetry forms, computing technology can be used to help the...

A work entitled "Newton's Third Law in Karmic Warfare" is a mathematical visual poem which is a perfect example of a technique, that I call The Paradigm Poem. This piece makes a direct connection with the concept of karma and Newton’s Third Law of motion. I will introduce the concept of “The Mathematical Paradigm Poem” to illuminate an example of how metaphor is used in mathematical visual poet...

We describe a corpus-based poetry generation system which uses templates to construct poems according to given constraints on rhyme, meter, stress, sentiment, word frequency and word similarity. Moreover, the software constructs a mood for the day by analysing newspaper articles; uses this to determine both an article to base a poem on and a template for the poem; creates an aesthetic based on ...

This paper aims at illustrating how narrative theories can apply to the analysis of lyric poetry with an example from Korean literature: The Azaleas by Kim Sowöl. This poem in seven-and-five-syllable meter as well as with its thematic aspect that is concerned with lamentation or broken heart is considered the most representative of the folkloric tradition in the history of Korean lyric poetry. ...

OBJECTIVES This evaluation aimed to explore the use of poetry writing as a way for undergraduate nursing students to consider their feelings about important practice issues. METHODS 42 first year undergraduate nur...

Hafez is an automatic poetry generation system that integrates a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) with a Finite State Acceptor (FSA). It generates sonnets given arbitrary topics. Furthermore, Hafez enables users to revise and polish generated poems by adjusting various style configurations. Experiments demonstrate that such “polish” mechanisms consider the user’s intention and lead to a better po...
