A simple Markov chain modeller and generator aimed for word and sentence generation.
Project description
Originally a proof of concept, I’ve used this in enough projects that I’ve decided to publish it tomake it easier to import. The name is a play on words similar to Markup/Markdown.
Basic Use
Instantiate with m = markoff.Markov(seeds) where seeds is an iterable of sub-iterables. Each sub-iterable being a chain in the set of chains you want to model.
You can supply it with just one chain or many.
Then use m.generate(max_length=100) to produce a single chain limited to max_length automatically terminating at any character of .!?. You can also supply a terminators argument to make the chain
Example
Code
m = markoff.Markov( [ ['The', 'quick', 'brown', 'fox', 'jumped', 'over', 'the', 'lazy', 'dog.'], ['Jack', 'and', 'Jill', 'ran', 'up', 'the', 'hill', 'to', 'fetch', 'a', 'pail', 'of', 'water.'], ['Whenever', 'the', 'black', 'fox', 'jumped', 'the', 'squirrel', 'gazed', 'suspiciously.'] ] ) [m.generate() i for i in range(10)]
Output
[ 'The quick brown fox jumped over the black fox jumped the lazy dog.', 'The quick brown fox jumped the squirrel gazed suspiciously.', 'Whenever the squirrel gazed suspiciously.', 'Jack and Jill ran up the lazy dog.', 'Jack and Jill ran up the hill to fetch a pail of water.', 'Jack and Jill ran up the black fox jumped the hill to fetch a pail of water.', 'Whenever the lazy dog.', 'The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.', 'Jack and Jill ran up the hill to fetch a pail of water.', 'Jack and Jill ran up the squirrel gazed suspiciously.' ]
Notes
This module is still under development and is mostly for me to play around with and learn Markov Chains. Cheers.
