Not sure where i can get info about this, so i am cross-posting...
A few years ago, a computer somewhere (a college, i believe) was
programmed to write a book - a work of fiction, generated by the
computer itself -- i believe it was a mystery, titled something
very unusual, like: THE POLICEMAN'S PARTIALLY-CONSTRUCTED
MOUSTACHE --
Does anyone know the exact college/location this took place,
the year, the full title, and any other info. on this matter?
I have written a very poor model, which generates random
sentences -- humorous, but i'm sure it pales by comparison
to its inspiration... (It has a limited vocabulary : under
300 words to this date)
Anyway, i'd like to include the inspiration in the documentation...
So if anyone has A N Y info., i'd very greatly appreciate it...
Thank you...
adam...
