talk-generator's Introduction

Talk Powerpoint Generator

This program automatically generates PowerPoints about any topic. These presentation slide decks can be used by improvisers for the improvisational comedy format "Improvised TED talk" or "Powerpoint Karaoke". In such games, the actors have to present an unseen presentation slide deck, but pretend to be an expert and explain "their" slide show choices.

Demo

Ty out this generator on our online platform: talkgenerator.com.

Example

Easy Install and Run

Our program relies on certain APIs that require authentication in order to use it. Create a file named .env (don't forget the period) in your project directory, and fill this with the correct API keys as described on our wiki page about this.

# Make a new Python 3 virtual environment
python3 -m venv venv;

# Activate the virtual environment
source venv/bin/activate;

# Upgrade pip and install  requirements
pip install --upgrade pip setuptools;
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt;

# Download NLTK dependencies
python run_nltk_download.py;

# Install the Talk Generator
pip install -e .;

# Generate a 10 slide talk with topic peanuts
talkgenerator --topic "peanuts" --num_slides 10

Run arguments

Argument	Description
`topic`	The topic of the generator. This works best if it is a common, well-known noun. Use comma-separated words to generate a slide deck about multiple topics
`slides`	The number of slides in the generated presentation (default: 10)
`schema`	The presentation schema to use when generating the presentation. Currently, only two modes are implemented, being `default` and `test` (for testing during development)
`title`	Title of the presentation. Either `topic` or this one should to be set in order to generate a slide deck (just setting `topic` is usually more fun though)
`presenter`	The name that will be present on the first slide. Leave blank for an automatically generated name
`output_folder`	The folder to output the generated presentations (default: `./output/`)
`save_ppt`	If this flag is true(default), the generated powerpoint will be saved on the computer in the `output_folder`
`open_ppt`	If this flag is true (default), the generated powerpoint will automatically open after generating
`parallel`	If this flag is true (default), the generator will generate all slides in parallel

Program structure

See the wiki to know more about the inner implementation.

Tests

Test files are tests/*.py, prefixed with test_. Test files use the unittest module. They can easily be run all together when using PyCharm by right clicking on talk-generator and pressing Run 'Unittests in talk-generator'

coverage run -m pytest; coverage html

Test coverage is automatically handled by codecov. Tests are automatically run with CircleCI based on the .yml file in the .circleci directory.

talk-generator's Issues

Add good example input/output pair to README.

Would be great to include a solid 15 slide generated talk to the repo.
Can we include

the run code to create it
the output file
a small gif of the slides rendered from keynote to a gif.

This is a nice visual and a solid milestone for the project.

Cleaning Out Old Web Front End

remove the flask portion of the app from the talk-generator since it has nothing to do with generating talks

Migrate TODO's incode to Issues in Github Repo

There are currently 9 outstanding TODOs in code.

These should be migrated to Github issues so that they can be appropriately tracked and addressed.

Parallellisation of slide generators

Currently, generating the powerpoint takes quite some time. This could be sped up by generating the slides in parallel. This does have some implications for the code structure, and some dependencies that have to be taken into account:

python-pptx is not able to change the positions of slides, and slides have to be added incrementally. As such, instead of the slide_templates module generating the slide, it should return a function to add the slide, and the required slide generation arguments (=the generated content). The program can then add all of these one after another after all these objects are generated
The slide creation methods have boolean conditions checking if certain required content is present, before generating. This should be extracted out, such that this can be checked beforehand. An alternative is replacing this system with another way of checking if the required content got generated (or possibly always providing an alternative backup option)
There is a variable saying how much repeating elements between generated slides are allowed. This should still be respected, as it makes sure the slides feel original when they need to. The new interface for generating slides should thus also return a function that can be called in case the generated content is not satisfyin these originality constraints

Breaking Issue: JSONDecodeError

Run code:

talkgenerator --topic 'gardens' --num_slides 10

downloaded files default to a temp directory instead of current working

I'd like to shift the downloaded file manager to download files to a temp directory that can be removed by the OS during it's normal times. python has a facility for this called tempfiles and it's built in. Thanks python.

Thoughts?

Add support for in-browser slide creation

For instance, building a presentation in markup and then building the presentation using a javascript library like remark.js (https://github.com/gnab/remark) would allow for generation and presentation in the browser.

add image filter for weird and NSFW stuff

Raw text templates should be stored in a folder, and pulled into python code

I added the templates to a template folder. From there we can add to separate lists and then pull into a data structure which holds our templates when we start the generator. This is a way of separating code and data.

Using a Generative Model for Image Generation

Wouldn't it be great if you could just input a word and have a bunch of images generated using a deep neural network for pixel-based image generation?

It is possible.

Let's make it happen?!

Testing reddit and wikihow credentials

Is there a client side test for credentials?

Google images not downloading anymore

The Google image search function doesn't download any new images anymore now that it checks local cache. It only looks for local images

This is probably due to the "search_google_images=False" in the header of "get_images", as this will by default falsify line 182 (if len(all_paths[word]) == 0 and search_google_images:).
I'm not sure whether search_google_images should be true, or the "and" should be an "or" in search_google_images, or whether this variable should be removed (as it might be a leftover from testing) as this all depends on the intended semantics of that variable.

Removing the variable from the conjunction seems to fix the problem, as it still downloads if the images wasn't downloaded before, and uses the cache otherwise.
Could you take a look at it to see what was intended?

Using Multiple Input Keywords

Imagine a situation where a user does not only want to input a single word for the topic of a presentation, but rather, they want to input a sequence of words which together serve as a set of topics for the presentation.

Rather than input: cat -> output: slides related to cat and related things, the input might be cat, animal fight, new house, new cat -> output: slides which follow the story that the user has input.

How might we handle handling a sequence of multiple keywords?

Filter for 'risky' content

As a reviewer suggested, and as we have discussed many times in the past, there might be some use for a filter of "risky" content. Although it will be hard to eliminate all such violations (due to the fact that it is hard to know where to draw the line, and to recognise this in images), we can probably add a variable that turns certain (parts) of content generators off, in order to decrease the probability of weird images.

What should we name such a variable? We might take something like sfw or childfriendly, but I don't know if these names would be appropriate since it will be hard to absolutely guarantee that.

Getting Pattern to work

Pattern is a very powerful Python library that would allow us to do more linguistic operations in our text generator, and thus offer more extensive possibilities in the text generator.
However, this used to be only available in Python 2, and only very recently started to be available in Python 3. I tried getting it to work with our code, but it didn't work out. We should probably look into this again in the near future when better support for Python 3 is provided, as they seem quite actively pushing that version out soon.

Conclusions text should be dynamic.

Currently the conclusions text is always the same.

Conclusion 1 Conclusion 2

Perhaps we can use other templates to update the way that the last slide is presented?

Setup as a Python Package so it can be installed and tested

At some point, we can change the package structure so that it could be installed and tested using python tools.

Making this a python package does not mean it will be public or in Pypi. Making this a package will allow talk-generator libraries and generators to be imported and used by other python applications in a more versatile way.

Not creating the correct number of slides

python3 run.py --topic 'the secret to making a bagel' --num_slides 20

Should make a slide deck with 20 slides, this is currently not working.

setup.py package installation

To add

setup.py should install some command line tools when someone does a pip install of the talk generator
** this will allow the user to execute the talkgenerator by typing talkgenerator instead of python etc etc etc
download the NLTK libraries on startup and print error message if they cannot be downloaded automatically.

Web interface

The codebase is too diffucult to easily be used by (often non-tech-savvy) improvisators. As such, we should probably provide a web interface for our system at this point. We will be able to hide required credentials (e.g. for reddit and wikihow) in the server variables. A good place to host it for free is Heroku.

The web interface itself should probably just present a text box for the topic and a generate button, and possibly also the options to determine the number of slides and possibly the name of the presenter.

Click Here to Add Text in empty slide title boxes.

There are times when the slide Title box shows "Click here to add text". Not sure if this is an issue with the generator or with Powerpoint for Mac.

Example Slide. Tested on Powerpoint for Mac. Do not have windows so could not confirm if it was a platform specific issue.

Will defer to @korymath @twinters on proper handling.

Talkgenerator.submodules can use loggers instead of print

We can configure the talkgenerator submodules to use python logging module instead of printing out on standard out. This will allow consumers of the modules (those using the generators raw for other purposes) to configure the output as they see fit.

The talkgenerator.run module would then configure the loggers to continue to print on standard out.

Not a major thing needed for now since most people will run the talkgenerator from the command line (and thus probably want the output in standard out. This is more of a pythonic best practice that we can have the codebase follow.

Failed to generated using ...

When the system fails to generate a slide, it moves on to another generator.
That said, it does not generate an error message:

 * Generating slide 43 about bedroom using Goodreads Quote *
Failed to generated using: Goodreads Quote

 * Generating slide 43 about bedroom using Full Screen Giphy *

For this given error, it is unclear why the system failed, and how to fix it?

Keeping the slide topic seeds simple

Currently, our system uses a generator that uses related conceptnet words to generate the next topic seed for a slide (where it comes back to the presentatation topic every couple of slides).
These seeds are sometimes uncommon words or not even words at all. They've also got different part of speeches often.
It might be interesting to look into n-grams to make the slide topic seed generator "prefer" more common words.
It might also be interesting to constrain the seeds to only be a noun, as that seems to work best with the current slide generators.
It might also be interesting to look at different graphs for generating related words, such as Wikipedia and Wiktionary links. The slide topic seed generator can then switch between these for more interesting and different types of results.

Include hooks for additional corpus / data sources

Including:

Server Environment Variables

Currently, CircleCI is not able to test all the generators due to missing Reddit authentication.
This is due to the fact that I don't want these secrets exposed in the repository in case we ever make it public.
We can get around this problem by adding an alternative way of entering these three keys necessary to create the access to Reddit by having server environment variables. This will also allow us to more easily set up a server (e.g. on Heroku) with these server variables.
We should probably look into how to do this properly

Compile and save to raw data.file

WikiHow Advanced Search Login Problem

For several months, our WikiHow searcher seems to only be able to use the basic search engine, and not the advanced one any more. Not sure if this is fixable, or if they blocked access to it. The scraper just sees a message as if the user wasn't logged in, even though a logged-in session is given.

type error when no images are returned

Should handle this no response nicely...

Unused files?

There are quite some files that are currently completely not covered by any test case, and not used anywhere in the project. I was wondering if we still need the following files, or if we can delete them, or if we need them if they should be in different repositories:

util/parallel_util.py
util/random_word_util.py
util/aws_s3.py
server/*
stress.py

What's your opinion about these files, @korymath @h0h0h0 ? Should any of them stay? (I presume the aws_s3.py is probably the only one being used by something externally?)

Docker image is 1 Gig, make it smaller

Large docker images are a pain to store and move around.

unsplash required? might need credentials or feature flag to shut off

Feel free to close if not an issue.

It looks like unsplash credentials are required at this point? If so, we can add some validation code to settings.py to ensure that the generator doesn't start if the credentials are not set in .env. Or we can just shut off unsplash if the credentials are not set.

giphy image source is broken

Proposed solution is remove the giphy source.
