Quick Definition

Poetry composed or assisted by computational methods or algorithms.

Detailed Definition
Computational poetry is verse created with the aid of algorithms, code, or digital processes that generate, manipulate, or reconfigure text according to programmed rules; it explores the intersection of language, logic, and machine intelligence, often producing unexpected linguistic patterns or conceptual juxtapositions.
Example
Example in poetry:
Poems generated by algorithms analyzing word databases; AI-generated verse imitating sonnets; Computer-generated haiku; Markov chain poetry assemblages.
Additional Notes
computational poetry|Poetry written or generated through the use of algorithms, computer programs, or mathematical/linguistic constraints, exploring the relationship between code, language, and form; relates to Computer-generated constraint (4286).
