A preliminary markov-chain generator from an index built on @brianleroux's last few thousand tweets.
node fakebrian.js will dump you to a REPL where fb.genTweet() will show you what's up.
node app.js will launch a web app on :3000.
Features:
- Occasionally funny.
Doesn't feature:
- Configurability (e.g., other users)
- Posting to @fakebrianleroux
- feedback/reinforcement (Brian would/wouldn't say that!)
Markov chains in a nutshell: given a particular state, in this case the previous N words, determine the next word. This is done via simple frequency, e.g.:
key : ["a", "fluffy"], words : ["kitten", "cloud", "kitten", "kitten"] next word: "kitten" (75%) "cloud" (25%)
