Evaluate the current text generation algorithm. 2. Make at least one improvement to how the text starts or ends. 3. Make at least one improvement to the text quality. We started by collecting a dictionary of bigrams from a dataset of real book summaries. Bigrams model the probability that one word follows another, so we can predict which word comes next. Then, we used the bigrams to generate a new book summary in the same style! How can you improve the algorithm to produce more realistic text? project https://www.khanacademy.org/computing/intro-to-python-fundamentals/x5279a44ae0ab15d6:analyzing-data-with-dictionaries/x5279a44ae0ab15d6:reference-docs-dictionaries/a/docs-dictionaries 2025-05-19T19:13:30.525428721Z Docs: dictionaries Review the syntax for dictionaries and nested data structures in Python. article https://www.khanacademy.org/computing/intro-to-python-fundamentals/x5279a44ae0ab15d6:building-software-with-classes/x5279a44ae0ab15d6:reference-docs-classes/a/next-steps-for-learning-python 2026-03-25T05:40:32.501496776Z Next steps for learning Python Learn how to continue your programming journey outside of this course. article
