This is an incremental approach for researchers in computational creativity and NLP, focusing on a niche domain of poetry generation.
The authors tackled the problem of simulating the collaborative Japanese poetry form renga using NLP methods as web services, but the results were only a partial success as they failed to satisfy classical constraints.
Our software system simulates the classical collaborative Japanese poetry form, renga, made of linked haikus. We used NLP methods wrapped up as web services. Our experiments were only a partial success, since results fail to satisfy classical constraints. To gather ideas for future work, we examine related research in semiotics, linguistics, and computing.
