“…In the literature, several different methods and systems have been proposed for poetry generation (e.g., [9,6,16,13]). They use, among others, statistical approaches, case-based reasoning, and evolutionary algorithms.…”

The ability to associate concepts is an important factor of creativity. We investigate the power of simple word co-occurrence analysis in tasks requiring verbal creativity. We first consider the Remote Associates Test, a psychometric measure of creativity. It turns out to be very easy for computers with access to statistics from a large corpus. Next, we address generation of poetry, an act with much more complex creative aspects. We outline methods that can produce surprisingly good poems based on existing linguistic corpora but otherwise minimal amounts of knowledge about language or poetry. The success of these simple methods suggests that corpus-based approaches can be powerful tools for computational support of creativity.

“…Well-known early attempts to poetry generation included French (Queneau, 1961;Oulipo, 1981), but Spanish was one of the first languages where this topic was explored in the context of AI, and related issues were discussed (Gervás, 2000;Gervás, 2001). For Portuguese, another romance language, song lyrics have been automatically generated for a given melody (Gonçalo Oliveira et al, 2007), and poetry has been produced according to user-given structures that would set the number of lines, stanzas, syllables per stanza, or the rhyme pattern (Gonçalo Oliveira, 2012).…”

Poetry generation is becoming popular among researchers of Natural Language Generation, Computational Creativity and, broadly, Artificial Intelligence. To produce text that may be regarded as poetry, computational systems are typically knowledge-intensive and deal with several levels of language. Interest on the topic resulted in the development of several poetry generators described in the literature, with different features covered or handled differently, by a broad range of alternative approaches, as well as different perspectives on evaluation, another challenging aspect due the underlying subjectivity. This paper surveys intelligent poetry generators around a set of relevant axis -target language, form and content features, applied techniques, reutilisation of material, and evaluation -and aims to organise work developed on this topic so far.

“…There are some systems that take up this challenge. For example, ASPERA [17] generates poems with a forward-reasoning knowledge-based system. It uses selected fragments from a corpus to transform an input prose message into a poem.…”

“…The WASP system [17,19] incorporates a set of specialized families of experts, considered as a cooperative society of readers/critics/editors/writers that cooperate during the poetry-generation process. This approach is considered more powerful than the former rule-based approach in WASP and is reminiscent of the blackboard architecture, as the agents work together on a common population of poem drafts.…”

We present a system to generate poems based on the information extracted from input text such as blog posts. Our design uses the blackboard architecture, in which independent specialized modules cooperate during the generation process by sharing a common workspace known as the blackboard. Each module is responsible for a particular task while generating poetry. Our implementation incorporates modules that retrieve information from the input text, generate new ideas, or select the best partial solutions. These distinct modules (experts) are implemented as diverse computational units that make use of lexical resources, grammar models, sentiment-analyzing tools, and languageprocessing algorithms. A control module is responsible for scheduling actions on the blackboard. We argue that the blackboard architecture is a promising way of simulating creative processes because of its flexibility and compliance with the Global Workspace Theory of mind. The main contribution of this work is the design and prototype implementation of an extensible platform for a poetry-generating system that may be further extended by incorporating new experts as well as some existing poetrygenerating systems as parts of the blackboard architecture. We claim that this design provides a powerful tool for combining many of the existing efforts in the domain of automatic poetry generation.
