Fun Writer: A Context-Based Intelligent Writing Platform to Assist and Motivate Writing Activities using Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing

The aim of this paper is to apply computer techniques to assist high school students' essay writing. A python program named Fun Writer is developed to assist users in paraphrasing, summarizing, and keywording. We applied it to real text sentences and paragraphs and conducted a qualitative evaluation of the approach. The results show that Fun Writer can automatically provide users with different versions of sentence paraphrases, Text or paragraph summaries, and keyword retrieval, thus being flexible to the user’s needs. The program will be a website where the user can upload his own input text and freely select to either paraphrase, summarize, or extract keywords.
