Towards automatic poetry generation using constraint handling rules

Published:13 April 2015Publication History

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we discuss the incremental implementation of an autonomous system, capable of generating unique yet meaningful poetry, using Constraint Handling Rules. The system consists of a reasoner, which is responsible for ensuring the grammaticality, poeticness and meaningfulness of the resulting poems, without depending on any external corpora. This is achieved, by incrementally pruning a customized lexicon, to satisfy the constraints enforced by the three modules, until an output poem is produced.
