<p>So, I'm taking a Machine Learning course this semester in school, and one of the topics we keep coming back to is natural language processing and the 'bag of words' data structure. That is, given a sentence:</p>
<p><code>How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?</code></p>
<p>We can represent that sentence as the following list:</p>
<p><code>{ How: 1 much: 1 wood: 2 would: 2 a: 2 woodchuck: 2 chuck: 2 if: 1 }</code></p>
<p>Ignoring <em>where</em> the words happened, we're just interested in how <em>often</em> the words occurred. That got me thinking: I wonder what would happen if I built a robot that just imitated how often I said things? It's dangerous territory when computer scientists ask "what if," but I got curious enough I wanted to follow through.</p>
<h2 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id=the-objective>The Objective<a href=#the-objective class=hash-link aria-label="Direct link to The Objective" title="Direct link to The Objective">​</a></h2>
<p>Given an input list of Tweets, build up the following things:</p>
<ol>
<li>The distribution of starting words; since there are no "prior" words to go from, we need to treat this as a special case.</li>
<li>The distribution of words given a previous word; for example, every time I use the word <code>woodchuck</code> in the example sentence, there is a 50% chance it is followed by <code>chuck</code> and a 50% chance it is followed by <code>could</code>. I need this distribution for all words.</li>
<li>The distribution of quantity of hashtags; Do I most often use just one? Two? Do they follow something like a Poisson distribution?</li>
<li>Distribution of hashtags; Given a number of hashtags, what is the actual content? I'll treat hashtags as separate from the content of a tweet.</li>
</ol>
<h2 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id=the-data>The Data<a href=#the-data class=hash-link aria-label="Direct link to The Data" title="Direct link to The Data">​</a></h2>
<p>I'm using as input my tweet history. I don't really use Twitter anymore, but it seems like a fun use of the dataset. I'd like to eventually build this to a point where I can imitate anyone on Twitter using their last 100 tweets or so, but I'll start with this as example code.</p>
<h2 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id=the-algorithm>The Algorithm<a href=#the-algorithm class=hash-link aria-label="Direct link to The Algorithm" title="Direct link to The Algorithm">​</a></h2>
<p>I'll be using the <a href=http://www.nltk.org/ target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer">NLTK</a> library for doing a lot of the heavy lifting. First, let's import the data:</p>

<p>And now that we've got data, let's start crunching. First, tokenize and build out the distribution of first word:</p>

<p>Next, we need to build out the conditional distributions. That is, what is the probability of the next word given the current word is <span class=katex><span class=katex-mathml><math><semantics><mrow><mi>X</mi></mrow><annotation encoding=application/x-tex>X</annotation></semantics></math></span><span class=katex-html aria-hidden=true><span class=base><span class=strut style=height:0.6833em></span><span class="mord mathnormal" style=margin-right:0.07847em>X</span></span></span></span>? This one is a bit more involved. First, find all unique words, and then find what words proceed them. This can probably be done in a more efficient manner than I'm currently doing here, but we'll ignore that for the moment.</p>

<p>Turns out I have used 603 different hashtags during my time on Twitter. That means I was using a unique hashtag for about every third tweet.</p>
<p>In better news though, we now have all the data we need to go about actually constructing tweets! The process will happen in a few steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Randomly select what the first word will be.</li>
<li>Randomly select the number of hashtags for this tweet, and then select the actual hashtags.</li>
<li>Fill in the remaining space of 140 characters with random words taken from my tweets.</li>
</ol>
<p>And hopefully, we won't have anything too crazy come out the other end. The way we do the selection follows a <a href=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multinomial_distribution target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer">Multinomial Distribution</a>: given a lot of different values with specific probability, pick one. Let's give a quick example:</p>
<div class="codeBlockContainer_Ckt0 theme-code-block" style="--prism-background-color:hsl(230, 1%, 98%);--prism-color:hsl(230, 8%, 24%)"><div class=codeBlockContent_biex><pre tabindex=0 class="prism-code language-text codeBlock_bY9V thin-scrollbar" style="background-color:hsl(230, 1%, 98%);color:hsl(230, 8%, 24%)"><code class=codeBlockLines_e6Vv><span class=token-line style="color:hsl(230, 8%, 24%)"><span class="token plain">x: .33</span><br></span><span class=token-line style="color:hsl(230, 8%, 24%)"><span class="token plain">y: .5</span><br></span><span class=token-line style="color:hsl(230, 8%, 24%)"><span class="token plain">z: .17</span><br></span></code></pre><div class=buttonGroup__atx><button type=button aria-label="Copy code to clipboard" title=Copy class=clean-btn><span class=copyButtonIcons_eSgA aria-hidden=true><svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" class=copyButtonIcon_y97N><path fill=currentColor d="M19,21H8V7H19M19,5H8A2,2 0 0,0 6,7V21A2,2 0 0,0 8,23H19A2,2 0 0,0 21,21V7A2,2 0 0,0 19,5M16,1H4A2,2 0 0,0 2,3V17H4V3H16V1Z"/></svg><svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" class=copyButtonSuccessIcon_LjdS><path fill=currentColor d=M21,7L9,19L3.5,13.5L4.91,12.09L9,16.17L19.59,5.59L21,7Z /></svg></span></button></div></div></div>
<p>That is, I pick <code>x</code> with probability 33%, <code>y</code> with probability 50%, and so on. In context of our sentence construction, I've built out the probabilities of specific words already - now I just need to simulate that distribution. Time for the engine to actually be developed!</p>

<p>Let's go ahead and put everything together! We're going to simulate a first word, simulate the hashtags, and then simulate to fill the gap until we've either taken up all the space or reached a period.</p>

<p>...Which all ended up being a whole lot more nonsensical than I had hoped for. There are some good ones, so I'll call that an accomplishment! I was banking on grammar not being an issue: since my tweets use impeccable grammar, the program modeled off them should have pretty good grammar as well. There are going to be some hilarious edge cases (I'm looking at you, <code>Ethics paper first, music in close to everyone</code>) that make no sense, and some hilarious edge cases (<code>Waking up, OJ, I feel like Nick Jonas today</code>) that make me feel like I should have a Twitter rap career. On the whole though, the structure came out alright.</p>

<p>During class we also talked about an interesting idea: trying to analyze corporate documents and corporate speech. I'd be interested to know what this analysis applied to something like a couple of bank press releases could do. By any means, the code needs some work to clean it up before I get that far.</p>

<p>I'm pretty confident I re-invented a couple wheels along the way - what I'm doing feels a lot like what <a href=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_chain_Monte_Carlo target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer">Markov Chain Monte Carlo</a> is intended to do.
