Got a few comments about that one and a few others! I just updated the existing word blacklist and re-deployed.

I got "cyberpolice" which seems to be a real word. I also got "deflategate" which i love - it must be an upcoming scandal! :-)

  Deflategate was a National Football League (NFL) controversy involving the allegation that New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady ordered the deliberate deflation of footballs used in the Patriots' victory against the Indianapolis Colts in the 2014 American Football Conference (AFC) Championship Game. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deflategate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deflategate

Oh, I'm surprised the "blacklist" isn't just the standard English dictionary. I'm sure I'm just being naive though. Why not just blacklist any word that already exists in English?

  That may be because there isn't a single definitive list of all words in the English language https://www.lexico.com/explore/how-many-words-are-there-in-the-english-language https://www.lexico.com/explore/how-many-words-are-there-in-t...

  There are some subtleties (e.g. hyphens, derived forms, bigrams, etc.) but the biggest problem is that most English dictionaries don't have entries for every scientific word / piece of internet slang. I ended up tokenizing Wikipedia for a blacklist and still missed a lot :(

      Words not on Wikipedia, found on other sources, listed by frequency (perhaps with a date-weighting of the source document to reduce rating of older sources), would be an interesting way to find holes in Wikipedia's coverage.

        Someone should make a Wikipedia page of that list. Oh, wait.

If you're using a blacklist, it it really machine learning? Or are you using it to re-train?
- codegladiator 6y ago
  blacklist is probably to avoid cases where it randomly generates a real word like above two cases, so that blacklist filter is probably applied after the ml stuff.
  - turtlesoup 6y ago
    Yup, the line for the blacklist lookup is here: https://github.com/turtlesoupy/this-word-does-not-exist/blob/a96561a4dc762fca6d0dc4e002d6a10f204aed16/title_maker_pro/datasets.py#L457 https://github.com/turtlesoupy/this-word-does-not-exist/blob...

Unspooled and Hardstyle popped up for me. Perhaps you should do a google search for generated words before displaying them to prevent existing words from being shown.

  Or maybe the ML algorithm behind is just using an existing dictionary and performs no operation.

Multiple people managed to find it? How likely is it to generate the same non-word more than once? Is there a limited set?
