Markov Chains and Digital Storytelling

Writer's picture: Lily SpearmanLily Spearman

I am eager to apply markov chains to digital storytelling!

I am curious about how computers can use old information to create new stories.

Can a computer generate a good poem?

How can we use this as inspiration?



Andrey Markov was born in 1856


"Markov chains are a way of calculating probability. As an example, consider how your iPhone can predict what you’re going to type next. The phone knows what you just typed and makes an educated guess about what you want to say next based on the probability of certain words appearing next to each other”(Eschner, 2017).

I you would like to learn more about Markov Models check out this YouTube video:
