Title: "Using Machine Learning to Generate Chinese Duilian"

by

Mr. LU Zhongqi

Abstract

In Chinese poetry, a duilian is a pair of lines of poetry usually seen on
the sides of doors leading to people's house. A good duilian is ideally
profound yet concise, using one character per word in the style of
Classical Chinese. This project targets at generating the second sentence
of duilian by an innovative machine translation method. This report covers
the design, implementation, testing, and evaluation of the performance of
our system.
