Chinese poetry generation is a very challenging task in natural language processing. In this paper, we propose a novel two-stage poetry generating method which first plans the sub-topics of the poem according to the user’s writing intent, and then generates each line of the poem sequentially, using a modified recurrent neural network encoder-decoder framework. The proposed planningbased method ...

Classical Chinese poetry, an important part of Chinese culture, has always been a great task for translators, home and abroad. It is the foreign translators who, in the early 20 century, first translated the classical Chinese poetry into English. The Chinese scholars began to do the translation in the seventies of the 20 century. From the existent translations, foreign or Chinese, we can find t...

location, is an effective element on human life and is also a motivating element on his feelings in relation to his past and present. location is not an end in poetry; otherwise, it would become political geography. therefore, location is an instrument and its realization in poetry rather than being objective is often psychological and artistic and full of various meaningful contents. different...

A consistent research finding in creativity research has been the tendency of poets— especially female poets—to suffer from mental illness. We explore (a) Why poets? and (b) Why female poets? We posit that poetry may attract those with a predisposition toward illness, the domain of poetry may particularly reward those who exhibit illness, and unusual aspects of the domain of poetry writing may ...

The beauty of Tang poetry is expressed in the combination of content and form. If the form is not well reproduced in the process of translation, the integrity of Tang poetry would be impaired to a great extent. By looking at different translations of Tang poetry, it is found that formal reproduction happens where there already exist the similar poetic forms in the target language; such forms as...

Translating across cultures stands for a complicated and demanding process. In his well-known article “Chinese Poetry and the English Reader,” David Hawkes discussed the challenges of translating classical Chinese poetry into English, but he failed to examine a most distinctive feature of Chinese poetry, yi jing 意境. Commonly translated as “poetic world,” yi jing is as much a cultural and philos...

What makes a poem beautiful? We use computational methods to compare the stylistic and content features employed by awardwinning poets and amateur poets. Building upon existing techniques designed to quantitatively analyze style and affect in texts, we examined elements of poetic craft such as diction, sound devices, emotive language, and imagery. Results showed that the most important indicato...

Poetry generation is becoming popular among researchers of Natural Language Generation, Computational Creativity and, broadly, Artificial Intelligence. To produce text that may be regarded as poetry, computational systems are typically knowledge-intensive and deal with several levels of language. Interest on the topic resulted in the development of several poetry generators described in the lit...

This research aims to discover the effect of Nature in Thomas Hardy's chosen literary works. The treatment ecology illustrates roots thought that have led our contemporary environmental crisis. Hardy shares affinity by philosophically reconstructing society center natural elements and images introducing true meaning art nature. self-consciously depicts naked reality nature, property, place man ...
