Recently on a slow Friday we trained Markov chains with our Slack history. We generated a separate chain for each Slack member. It culminated with a Slack channel emulator generating full chat logs of what members would typically say.
The programming in Python was suprisingly quick and easy, but we ended up wasting more time then expected by amusing ourselves with the results.
So if anyone’s thinking to try out Markov chains for text, I recommend taking Slack logs for training.
- ridhoq 9y agoI actually made a slack bot to do this exact thing: https://github.com/ridhoq/ditto https://github.com/ridhoq/ditto. It was a quick side project to learn Elixir so it’s a bit rough around the edge. I'm actually in the process of refactoring to use the new Events API. But it’s been pretty hilarious to see the responses get better and better over time. If anybody is interested and wants to put it on their Slack, I may try to put it in the Slack App directory thing.
