Abstract
In order to inherit and develop the Couplet culture, one of the most famous language culture in China, this paper implements a creation system of couplets. In this paper, a noval way to generate the customized couplet is discussed from the name-embedded couplet. The 2-gram word graph technology is used to generate the first sentence which contained the given word. Then, combined with language model which based on statistical method, grammar model and mutual information model, improved Viterbi Algorithm based on HMM is used to decode the second sentence. It turned out that the system can realize the automatic generation of the name embedded couplet. According to the contents involved in the given couplet, the system can generate pictures to match the couplet. This system is aimed for Spring Festival couplets and Birthday couplets, both are name-embedded couplet that generated with the name of people. Users can choose the templates and relative special elements freely to create a satisfactory multimedia couplet picture.
