Portmantout: A portmanteau of every English word
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 มี.ค. 2015
- For SIGBOVIK 2015 I did this little hack to produce a portmanteau (that's a jammin' together of two words, like caviar + armpit = caviarmpit) of all 100,000+ words in English. This video is a little illustrated tutorial of what that means and how I did it. I hope it's fun!

That's a hell of a password generator you created there.
Have fun typing it in! :D

The only thing that sucks is that it only ever generates one password

"Some word experts told me that almost every word begins and ends with a letter" XD
+samuel barky Don't you hate it when a sentence doesn't end how you octopus?
+samuel barky Just remember, the word, queue, has four silent letters.
+Rartrin Nope. Just like the word cue where the suffix -ue is pronounced /ju:/, the word queue contains three spoken letters /kju:/
+MrID36 Well of course, in the same way that all consonant's letters are pronounced with vowels and Y doesn't include Y's consonant sound, because WHO CARES ABOUT STANDARDS! Let's mispronounce the letter pairing of "GU" and make it a "QU" because SQREW YOUR LOGIC (intentionally misspelled)! Q is a letter now!
Rartrin Erm.....OK.
I'm sure that this is what was intended when programming languages started implementing arbitrary length strings.
I have a computer program I made to find the most common pair of characters, and combine them into a new character, and repeat. The most common pairs of letters in the first portion of the portmantout are [☺=es=es]
[☻=er=er] [♥=in=in] [♦=ed=ed] [♣=♥g=ing] [♠=en=en] [•=at=at] [◘=al=al] [◙=☻s=ers] [♂=on=on].
The entire word did fit, and now the most common are [☺=es=es] [☻=in=in] [♥=er=er] [♦=ed=ed] [♣=☻g=ing] [♠=at=at] [•=sa=sa] [◘=en=en] [◙=on=on] [♂=ar=ar]
Certainly not to store sentences or paragraphs or books
You really really really need to put this through a speech synthesizer

Many years ago, I worked at a place where we were brainstorming names for a subsidiary. I wrote a portmanteau generator in Python to help (just pairs of words, not extended chaining). I think I required a minimum 3-letter overlap, and a minimum of 2 non-overlapping letters in each word. IIRC, it yielded about 1500 portmanteaus, which was a reasonable number to read through and pick out the good ones.
can I see that list 👀
@@ohmhasmeaning7292same 👀
You also found a way to make the TH-cam compression algorithm go nuts.
Two birds with one stone.
BIBIwood Hah, yes. It was sort of disappointing to see how that part finally turned out, since I actually wrote software to try to pack the word into a short video that would still be readable if you paused it. Oh, well. The word is on the web page if you want to see!
@@tom7 Try upscaling the video to the highest resolution TH-cam accepts; it uses a proportionally higher bitrate for higher resolutions.
@@TiagoTiagoT I know this is a reply 1 year later to a reply to a comment that was 5 yrs old at the time, but I just wanted to say thanks for this tip! I recall that TH-cam used to do that for audio as well, you would get better sounding music if you turned it up to HD video quality lol. That is, if the uploader knew that and bothered to upload the lyric video in 1080p.
The video at the end showing your terminal was fine for me compression-wise, each letter was perfectly visible as it scrolled.
It was the technicolour graph that caused me to experience a new colour thanks to gratuitous compression
Now we just need a savant to speak this complete word for a couple of days. No eating or sleeping allowed.
You could try getting a Text-To-Speech thingy to read it out, I spose...

It's not fit for speaking, since it's purely lexical. There's not a definitive way to pronounce it.
Totally fascinating. I could see this type of algorithm being useful in marketing circles to come up with cool names for services such as Chairplanesthesia. Thanks for sharing, Tom.
My brother and I did something like this (but much shorter) when we were kids. We took turns adding to the end of our existing portman-[French for some number] and made it a portman-[French for that number plus one], saying the full thing each time.
For example, we started with Flintstone, Stonehenge, and Enjoy. I forget who started, but let's say that I said "Flintstone", then Dan said "Flintstonehenge", and then I said "Flintstonehenjoy". Occasionally we used an entire phrase, just to make it longer.
The last version that I can still remember today is:
"Flintstonehenjoy to the world sereese's pieces of ate a pirate increase in my pantseyes of a potatomatopaystubbullwhipped creamery butturn on your heartlight speed ahead and shoulderstwhile away the hours is not to reason why, ours is but to do and die harder with a vengeance demondays always get me downtown and country crock"
That consists of:
Flintstone-Stonehenge-Enjoy-Joy to the World-World Series-Reese's Pieces-Pieces of Eight-Ate a pie-Pirate-Rate increase-Crease in my pants-Pant size-Eyes of a potato-Tomato paste-Paystub-Stubble-Bullwhip-Whipped creamery butter-Turn on your heartlight-Light speed ahead-Head and shoulders-Erstwhile-While away the hours-Ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do and die-Die Hard-Die Harder-Die Hard(er)* with a Vengeance-Vengeance demon-Mondays always get me down-Downtown-Town and country-Country Crock.
(* - Technically, that should've been "Die Hard with a Vengeance", but we kept it anyway.)
You can use this to simulate what English sounds like to foreigners.
how has this not become a page on Wikipedia with how much they love mentioning when a word is a portmanteau for six years
Loved perusing your final result. 'cunnilingusaweirdlyetcomplimentskin'made it onto the second-last line.
I hope you copyrighted the final word. Register the domain while you can!
Sadly, domains can't be longer than 255 characters. Ridiculous!
suckerpinch What!? They need to expand or we will run out of domains! 37^255*810 possibilities are way to few! It's even less since the domain can't start or end with a hyphen. How about using 2^64 instead of 2^8 characters. That should work. I would pick Lord of the Rings as my domain. I mean like the content of whole book of course.
We could expand domain names to use all Unicode characters, then we could have things like （≧∇≦）.com
Or even 囧rzヽ(`Д´)ﾉ ┻━┻.com
Christopher wootton I believe there is indeed a standard for unicode domain names, though it has some bad security issues so I think it isn't widely used (because there are codepoints that look exactly like Latin letters in other planes, which makes it easy to look like you are going to "citibank.com" but those i's aren't i's!)
Andreas Dumonteix It's not unicode. It's ASCII.
This is one of the best things I have ever seen on TH-cam. You're a real coologist.

You should have a text to speach program read it and just upload that as a seperate video
Speach
It reminds me of a problem from combinatorics. In particular, looking for superpermutations.
A superpermutation is the shortest string which contains every possible permutation of n letters up to some given length. For example, if you have "1", "0", "10", and "01" (two letters, words of length of one and two), then "010", "101", "1001", and "101001" are possible superpermutation because they contain each of the four desired strings.
Some combinatorics people are interested in finding the shortest superpermutation for a given number of letters and length of word. It would be interesting to see if the techniques used to solve that problem might also be applied here--though you would need to filter from "all combinations of letter up to length n" to "all english words", and I'm not familiar enough with the orthodox approaches to finding superpermutations to know if this is even sensible.
Ah yes, the "Haruhi watch order" problem.
“Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.”
-Dr. Ian Malcolm
Ha! Your idea for chairplanesthesia is similar to what I figure we might get to if we continue to be paranoid about security on planes. Everybody gets in, gets knocked out chemically, and gets strapped down. They could pack planes quite full of people, and they could 'guarantee safety'. Just wake up at your destination. The only flaw in this plan is that anaesthesia is not actually easy... reliably knocking people unconscious without harming (or killing) them is actually dreadfully difficult.
Also your video gave me an idea... why not try to find portmanteaus our language "needs"? Use some machine learning to determine how often pairs of words are next to each each (or within a short distance) to find pairs which actually refer to a single thing or concept, then run through any possible portmanteaus (being a little more liberal than you were in this video so you could catch things like 'brogrammer') of their synonyms if the words themselves aren't combine-able... follow it up by checking how related those synonyms are (sometimes following synonyms can seriously alter the connotation) and check if the portmanteau created exists. If not, bingo, you have probably found a new word that would catch on in our language! You could even rank likelihood of adoption (probably) by ranking on how often the core concepts are talked about.
+Dustin Rodriguez Ha ha :) I think that someone out there made a portmanteau twitter bot that does something like what you said for things that people tweet. It was pretty rad! Also related is a paper I wrote a few years ago called "What words ought to exist?" which tries exactly the kind of thing you're talking about at the letter level. Maybe should do a video on that paper; it's one of my faves.
Nice! I'd certainly enjoy such a video myself.

By ending with parodic you achieved the greatest feat of mankind ever.
This is actually an interesting way to make passwords - by running some memorable words into each other, you can make dictionary-based attacks far less likely because they have to split somewhere to separate the words, and they don't (as far as I know) overlap their guess words. Maybe it's only a matter of time before those attacks start using portmanteaux as well... hopefully it's a really processor-heavy task though?
What an impressivideo!

The part that would make this NP-hard would be to try and find the *shortest* possible portmanteau. Then it just becomes the traveling salesman problem!
I'm incredibly impressed this wasn't clickbait, you legit just got out here and DID this for real
amazing stuff. this is by far the most interesting programming content i have seen on youtube. this is the motivation i needed to get started again!
This video is the most casual display of an extreme amount of programming effort
I can't express how much I loved this. :) Maybe there'll be a portmanteau for it...
Glad to see you're still doing things! I subscribed not thinking you'd post anything anymore, but I'm glad I was wrong. Very interesting and entertaining video.
This was genuinely one of the most interesting lectures I've ever heard in my life, thanks recommended! (and thanks, suckerpinch!)
It's weird - I don't have that much interest in most of the things you do on the channel, and I wouldn't be able to bring myself to do the things you do, even if I had the knowledge since I see it as wasteful - yet hypocrisy kicks in as I find it all delightfully nerdy and enjoyable to see you indulging in your creations like a mad scientist - which I think might be called passion, and it seems to be rubbing off on me. It's honestly just pleasant and invigorating to be around if only for 8 minutes and 55 seconds.
Added to my recommended and totally appreciate the time you spent on this!
I actually covered the shortest common superstring problem for one of my programming classes, so I think it's really cool that you covered it. They use it for fixing breaks in dna sequences which I thought it was cool.
The video is a setup for a punchline, and the punchline is the completion of the video. We spent all of this mental work... to create an unfathomably large word that.. that probably no one will ever even ATTEMPT to pronounce!
Make a video of a TTS reading it.
MS Sam or MacTalk, its all good.
This is incredible, at first I was naively thinking that You would create portmanteau of around hundred words or so. Had to pause the video to stop my laughter as I heard it would have all the words in English. Thank God I didn't read the video title before watching.

This is so awesome. This is such an incredible pet problem. Brilliant idea
An easier way (but arguably much less fun) to do this is to take the words in any order and add the connecting portmanteau between every word. The only downside is the word will be larger and almost every other word will be a repeat. good video :-)

I like that the last word is parodical, and also that the preceding line included "cunnilingus weird yet compliment skin"
I find it somehow beautiful, how the portmantout breaks the video compression. It's like an advanced moiree.
Make the font green and let it scroll downwards -> Matrix NG :-)

really cool work
you could decide how much overlap letters you use on each word to manipulate that rarity of some starting or ending letters. Instead of choosing the longest, you could chose the one starting with the most common letter.
Had a hard time making out any of the words in the portmantout. But I did pick out 'cunnilingus' in the last full line quite easily.
Great video!

This is incredible stuff. Keep up the awesome work. Your talent is incredible, and your strategies for attacking problems is very intuitive.
A few questions.
What program do you use for all the visuals? (Like the lines connecting all words)
Where did you study programming or computer science? (Or are you self taught? That'd be even more incredible)
I hope you get the chance to answer these questions. I know there are a lot of comments, but I hope you look at this one!
Theodore Liu I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the compliments! :) The "slides" I drew in Photoshop with a drawing tablet, pretty much just the pixel pen tool, and just screen-captured it. The computer-generated imagery like the graphs, dots, and scrolling words were done with software I wrote for this video.
I taught myself programming when I was a kid, since there weren't really classes (or even on-line tutorials), but then I went to Carnegie Mellon for undergraduate and grad school. Learning the theory and being around smart people all the time really helps!
suckerpinch Prompt response! What language do you typically use?
Theodore Liu This was in C++11. I like Standard ML a lot, and often use JavaScript for games.

Khuram Bhatti thanks so much :)
suckerpinch as someone who has a neural net midterm next week, do you have any advice for someone into the intro of things like viterbi algorithm, or baum-welch? I find it hard to even grasp concepts like forward, backward, and forward-backward algorithms. If you know this stuff, any good quick and easy resources? (I'm not a mathy)
Khuram Bhatti Well: A lot of computer science is math, so I recommend discarding the idea that you're not "mathy," which wouldn't be good for you anyway. Math is just clear thought about an idea, and there are so many different kinds of ideas, that there must be some that are intuitive for you. (For Markov Models, we're especially fortunate that there are so many angles from which they can be understood.) I often struggle to untangle a formula or algorithm. I think the density of thought in them is usually understated by the text that tries to explain them. If you want to really understand it (and you should); don't memorize, learn the why and how to explain it to someone else. For me, implementing something from scratch works well (and is time-consuming but fun).
