Kaboobly Doo generator

Here is my Kaboobly Doo generator: kabooblydoo.appspot.com

Run properly, it should be able to generate grammatical sentences without any coherent meaning.

To demonstrate the power of the same, I showcase some great sentences it generated:

Harsh words are like programmed instructions, given to us when we are young and beautiful.

Preconceived notions are like sharp knives, once you throw them at somebody they can not teach you computer science or hardly anything else.

Every man should be far better neighbors and that an indissoluble law might be more conspicuous to all that took place, said, "On my word, you are doing!"

You are invited to try it out, and yes, Fork me on GitHub!

If you are interested in how this works, have a look at this and read on.

If you have seen my experiment with the iOS predictive keyboard, then it should convince you that this method is indeed a good way to generate convincing but Kaboobly Doo sentences.

Some usages of such an algorithm could be generate pronounceable strings, mimic spam to steganographically conceal data, or generating papers for conferences whose standards are, you suspect, too low.

Techniques involved include formal grammars and markov chains. We will discuss the later in this note.

For those who do not know, markov chains are a list of states equipped with their transition probabilities.

chain chain

From the given data, we generate a list of prefixes (which are our states) and a list of words that could have followed them. The more a word follows the prefix in the real data, the higher the chance of the transition to the inclusion of the word into the next state.

Suppose we are given the following data: Are modern calculus books Kaboobly Doo?

Feeding in the data into the chain generator with prefix length $2$ gives the following table:

Prefix Suffix

Are

Are modern

Are modern calculus

modern calculus books

calculus books Kaboobly

books Kaboobly Doo?

Kaboobly Doo?

Over here, there is only one possible state to which a particular state could transit. However, if we had much larger data, there could be more than two possible suffixes for the same prefix, in which case we could transit to any one of them at random determined the probability of their occurrence rates in the original text.

Once we generate the chain, we randomly choose an initial state and print the corresponding word and then transit to the next state by deleting the first word in the current state and appending a random word as explained above. We do this till we hit the word limit or run out of states.

Easy Math Editor

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Eureka! You are a genius

Aditya Chauhan - 6 years ago

Thanks, did you try this out?

Agnishom Chattopadhyay - 6 years ago

It is just as I expected. Kaboobly doo is a human creation, it can not be mimicked by a mere machine. It requires emotion, divine inspiration and the human heart to produce real Kaboobly doo. All I can add to this is a quote from Lord Vader, "Don't be to be too proud of the random statements generated here, the power to generate nonsense is insignificant next to the power of human Kaboobly doo." There, let that be a lesson to all.

bobbym none - 5 years, 3 months ago

actually, it is not impossible to improve upon this

Agnishom Chattopadhyay - 5 years, 3 months ago

The generator or the Kaboobly doo?

@Bobbym None – I am sorry, I meant: It is possible to improve upon this

I am doing computational stuff now and blimey this seems interesting!

$\ddot\smile$

Krishna Ar - 6 years ago

Great, what computaitional stuff are you doing?

Stuff to do with linguistics (parsing of languages and sentence formation), so I guess this is quite relevant!

@Krishna Ar – It is. Linguistics is quiet fascinating (except I hardly know anything about it)

@Agnishom Chattopadhyay – Other than the theory, its just CS

Mapping goes from $F_n$ to both $F_{n-1}$ and $F_{n-2}$ , backward induction is a multiple of 9, has a smaller diameter than $S$ ?

This is a contradiction. Thus $y_1 = y_2$ . What is the case that for $k = 3$ (proved in 1932) and $F_1 = 2 \times 2^k = 2$ . Do we know where it goes? Not really, it could go into any set, in particular $A$ . If it does not contain the element $n$ , then it cannot contain the element $n$ , then it cannot contain the element $n$ .

Calvin Lin Staff - 6 years ago

What does this mean?! I guess this is machine generated kaboobly doo

Right. I took the construction wiki, threw it in, and that's what I got.

@Calvin Lin – In that case, this is pretty impressive! :)

HA ha , amazing

heres a sentence i found

"I was slightly smarter than an apple"

Mvs Saketh - 6 years ago

I am sorry, that was an original line from the source file. The blue book of bobbym quotes is the shortest book out there and when you use it to produce sentences, there is a possibility that a few quotes will be returned as is.

"Questions of existence are for philosophers. He was just stating the number 3 has meaning to him, 10^10 does not."

This was what I got when I dumped in Shakespear's Sonnet 17 (My favourite one of the first 58 sonnets I read)

Venkata Karthik Bandaru - 5 years, 11 months ago

Nice! The valentines thing is awesome! Check mine too. $\huge\ddot\smile$

Sravanth C. - 5 years, 11 months ago

Yeah, lol.

I am afraid, that is not what you'Re supposed to get upon dumping sonnet 17. You forgot to click the custom text radio button in the first place?

Can you please try it again?

This randomizer works on statistical probability distributions of word pairs (or n-tuples) and I do not think the sonnet is large enough to produce some interesting results.

Agnishom Chattopadhyay - 5 years, 11 months ago

@Agnishom Chattopadhyay

can you please tell me which CS language or programme helps to solve math problems numerically (such as solving an unsolvable differential equation numerically)

or getting a reasonable approximation for fourier series , etc

i heard that mathematica can be used but i never really understood where we can get it

How about you use sage? There is a full book on Differential Equations with sage.

Also, there is nothing wrong with programming up the algorithms on your own. That should be a good exercise and should help understand them better.

Mathematica is not available for free (unless obtained illegally) because it is proprietary software.

@Mvs Saketh

oh, in that case, i shall learn sage, thank you very much :)

What languages do you know ?

A Former Brilliant Member - 6 years ago

none, i took biology in 12, i should have learned some CS side by side though

@Mvs Saketh – Yep, which one of biology/cs do you think I have taken in school?

@Agnishom Chattopadhyay – no, i like much of bio, so i am glad i took it, but i also wanted to know some CS

@Mvs Saketh – I took bio in Class XII too, but that never let me down with CS :)

@Agnishom Chattopadhyay – that is a very good thing, no problem, i will learn it now

@Mvs Saketh – What?! You were a Bio student ? So were you a PCMB student or just a PCB student ?

@A Former Brilliant Member – obviously PCMB :)

@Mvs Saketh – Haha , that was a silly question that I asked . I forgot you gave JEE this year .

Also try learning Python , Python sort of rules over B'ant :P

And see this too .

@A Former Brilliant Member – thanks, i will learn it too

This stuff is awesome!

Raven Herd - 5 years, 11 months ago

what's the benefit of it ? (or any use ?)

A Former Brilliant Member - 4 years, 6 months ago

Just for fun. Also check out this

Cool! I hope you won't mind me sharing your website with my friends ! $\stackrel{{\Large\wedge\,\wedge}}{{\Large\smile}}$

That would be an honor, thanks!
