Upon reading a blog post about a minimalist story-generating python program, I was asking myself - and you - which are the most successful attempts at such programs. I remember seeing something using generating grammars, for instance. And which are the best attempts that, like this one, are extremely compact, either self-contained or able to read, say, the Web or an independent textual corpus (but not simply a file with a large number of story chunks)?
Search for Talespin for some famous ground breaking work. (Example: Micro-Talespin in Common Lisp by Warren Sack.)
I actually like Turner's "Minstrel: A Computer Model of Creativity and Storytelling" better :
ftp://ftp.cs.ucla.edu/tech-report/1992-reports/920057.pdf
Talespin is, in my opinion, blind in it's algorithm to everything but planning. So the author goals are given very little consideration (if at all). Minstrel is better that way.

I understand that Chisel is a HDL/HCL language to overcome some of Verilog/SystemVerilog restrictions by using higher abstraction level.
And it is open source as well.
It might be a bit naive and presumptuous, but still I would like to ask.
My question is that why do so many similar efforts are working in parallel, e.g. Blusspec, spinalHDL, Pyha etc?
I mean, is there any reason why the development community may not choose one of these and concentrate efforts on stabilizing or enhancing one of these.
That's exactly what is happening now, it just takes a while to choose.
Although the past does not show that the best technology wins, let us hope it does this time.

I am currently working on a project where a Classical Music Generator is set to be built. A lecturer who is pretty much a expert in sound processing suggested that I could construct a Hidden Markov Model which will generate and return compositions.
There are already 80+ MIDI files from various renowned composers (Mozart, Bach, Beethoven...) in my computer ready for training. I just wonder will Pure Data be a suitable language for constructing HHM(s) which will finally return a generated music piece, from some MIDI inputs?
And if yes, any advice on how to utilise those MIDIs and put them into pieces for the HHM?
Thanks in advance.
Take a look at this library. It has HMM and a number of other machine learning algorithms that you could use.
https://github.com/cmuartfab/ml-lib
You can also use HMM for signal related tasks. There is a paper here that you may find informative:

"I would like to work on an XYZ fantastic project I have in my mind in
ABC programming language, but I do not feel that I have the knowledge required or that I
am anywhere near experienced enough to perform."
Do you think someone should work on a project (even if it is a small, personal one) and try to acquire skills and knowledge in the process, or he should not even start working on a project unless he has at least a respectable level of experience and knowledge?
No one is born with every thing. Whatever we learn is through our experience. If you keep on thinking that "i cannot do it", well, then you will never do it. If you have stackoverflow , google and confidence in yourself, go ahead. You can get help on anything from here. You will only learn something when you do a real project. Make mistakes and learn from them.

I am involved in a project which is meant to eventually become open-source and have a code contributor community. Is there any "right" way of doing this and what should/can I expect?
Thanks
There's a pretty good book on this topic, Producing Open Source Software by Karl Fogel, which is available for free online or in dead tree form if you prefer to read it that way. It would be hard to expand much on it in a single answer. Every project will, of course, be different, so I'd recommend reading that book, and then asking more specific questions about your particular project; answers will depend on the language and platform you use, how active an open source community there already is in your area, what your business model is, and many other factors.
I would recommand using Github or Google Project Hosting (subversion/mercurial), and of course use social media network to promote the project helps too.
You can start something like this - http://wxwidgets.org/develop/

I had to do a overview for a customer meeting, and they requested flow charts. It had never occurred to me that there was no switch symbol in any of the flow charting I've seen. I know functionally they are similar, but documentation should represent the code you've written or are planning too. Maybe I'm just being picky, but it seems like a common enough construct that it would have "representation."

My impression is that diamonds are the correct symbol for switches (multidirectional branches) as well as binary decision points — i.e. the diamond is any conditional. One just gets the idea that diamonds are for either/or because that's their most common use.
The difference between a series of if's and a switch is irrelevant at the flow chart level. Both are a series of conditionals. If you want to document your code down to the if/switch level, just print out the code.
