Twitterbot that generates orthographically plausible German words with semantically plausible English definitions. See [https://twitter.com/Deutsch_Falsch] (https://twitter.com/Deutsch_Falsch) for sample output.
The German words are generated using a trigram model that was trained on actual German nouns. The files 1.txt, 2.txt and 3.txt contain all unigrams, bigrams and trigrams from my noun list with their frequency. The new words are randomly generated so that they have the same character and n-gram distribution as the actual German words.
The English definitions are taken from Wordnik definitions that are collected randomly by looking up English nouns from a word list.
German is a strange language. I'm currently focusing on making twitterbots that have something to do with German. At the same time, I wanted to do a project that people who don't speak German can still appreciate. That's why the language of the tweets is English while their topic is the German language.
Also, I wanted to ridicule the "There must be a German word for _______ " meme.
I'm sorry my bot teaches you wrong German words. Many tweets of the bot are actually being retweeted by "Long German Words" accounts. I hope nobody actually believes what they read here! If you have any specific complaints, you can reach me via GitHub or twitter.
