Course Description

Overview

Explore the intersection of experimental creative writing and vector representations of language in this thought-provoking conference talk. Delve into the innovative practice of using vector representations as raw material for textual manipulation and generation. Discover how this approach draws parallels with audio/visual signal processing, creating unique semantic, syntactic, and phonological effects. Gain insights into the concept of "textual waveforms" and its potential for experimental poetics. Learn how this practice fits within the context of historical and contemporary experimental poetry, as well as recent advances in language-oriented computational creativity. Follow along as the speaker demonstrates various techniques, including manipulating discrete units of language, exploring color representations, and applying the distributional hypothesis. Witness practical examples using tools like Global Vectors and Word Vectors, and see how they can be used to create intriguing literary experiments such as "Frankenstein Genesis" and manipulations of Robert Frost's poetry. Gain a deeper understanding of the creative possibilities that emerge when language and computers intersect in unexpected ways.
