Let's Read A Story

Write an interactive and immersive children's story with a computer using text and speech.

Let’s Read A Story is an exploration on how computers and technology can turn story time into a conversation between parents, children and a computer. The project takes the corpus of Aesop fables and investigates the possibility of exploring the connections between different characters and ideas from the original fables in a new and fun way using machine learning language models.

📚 A live demo of Let's Read A Story can be found at www.letsreadastory.xyz.

📝 A blog describing the thought process and some of the technical aspects I encountered while designing and building the project can be found here.
