Markov word chain

Memory (words): Output size: Generate

A Markov chain is a randomized sequence where the probabilities of the next state only depends on the current state. This can be used to generate random texts that superficially resemble a given source text.

The memory of the generator is the number of previous words (usually one) that are used to generate the next word. The generator begins by picking a random sequence of N consecutive words of the input. In each step, it takes the final N words of the output, finds a random occurrence of these in the input, and adds the word that follows that occurrence.

(For completeness, the input text is considered to "wrap around".)
