Ah, this brings back memories. I tried something like that about 12 years ago, with a homebrewn half-hardcoded, half-neural thing and a large set of Jules Verne books.

The giddy excitement of being on the verge of unlocking the power of language slowly turned into confusion and then decayed into disappointment as i slowly realized that the task was maybe a bucket of orders of magnitude harder than i thought. I think it produced some coherent phrases every now and then, but mostly it was a random words generator.

...I miss these amplified feelings of cluelessly diving into an impossible project...

This was very wonderfully articulated! Do you have a blog or something?

Well, Orbital Designs http://orbides.org certainly qualifies as "something", but i'm not sure how much of a "blog" it really is since all of the content is indexed. :)

Knowledge kills the enthusiasm. One can move but doesn't know where and how, the other knows where and how, and spends the life in kotau.
