Tutorial: Allison Parrish - Nonsense verse with Python and machine learning

Conference: PyCon US 2020

Year: 2020

Presented by: Allison Parrish When Lewis Carroll wrote “Jabberwocky,” how did he know how to spell “Jabberwock”? Why are some words (like “cellar door”) considered to be pleasant, while others (“pulchritude,” “regurgitate”) ugly and harsh? In this tutorial, we’ll learn how to use Pincelate, a Python library and machine learning model, to analyze the sounds of words, and generate new words with particular phonetic characteristics.
