   The SCIgen is a website that automatically creates random Computer Science research papers. I tried several random names and found how amazing this websites is!  Firstly, the papers generated from this program have big titles followed by the names of authors you input. Secondly, the structure of the papers is very clear which consists of 7 parts. For example, when you entered author bundle A, the structure is introduction, framework, implements, results, related work, conclusions, and references. When you entered author bundle B, the structure is introduction, related work, event–drive symmetries, implementation, results, conclusion and reference. When you enter author bundle C, the structure is introduction, methodology, implementation, experimental evaluation, related work, conclusion and reference. As we see from these 3 examples, the structure of the papers is all the same: introduction about the research, 3 parts to explain, conclusion, and reference. What’s more, each paper has lots of statistics and graphs to support its argument. Last but not least, every paper contains many terms that common people never heard about, such that API, JIT-compiled ML, XML and so on.   As a conclusion, structure, statistics and graphs, and terms are 3 significant features of Computer Science paper.

  Pandyland is a website that randomly generates comic strips. From the experiments I have done, I noticed that each comic strip consists of 3 pictures. Two cartoon boys, a yellow-haired one and a brown- haired one, and sometimes followed by their “stupid” conversation, comprises each picture. In my mind, this comic strips generator is not doing well. It can only generate 3-pictures comic strips and there are only 2 simple boys that are not designed delicately. However, this program stills shows the 3 basic characteristics of comic strips: several pictures, cartoon figures and their conversation.

  Memegenerator is a website that can creates memes. To obtain a meme, first of all, you need a distinctive character to use as the background. It could be a person, a cartoon figure, or even an animal. Compared with a character that I consider as a carrier, the “notes” that you add to explain what this character is doing or feeling is more important. Not only because these notes are all capitalized, but also for the fact that it is the “notes” that actually express your own feelings. For example, you can add different notes on the same picture. The point would always be the capitalized notes, not the characters. In a summary, a meme has 2 pivotal conventions: a distinctive character and short “notes” following the characters.

  Here is the most exciting moment--- An additional genre generator! I found a very interesting poem generator (thinkzone.wlonk.com/PoemGen). This amazing website can create poems as long as you enter several nouns or adjectives. I tried several times to create the “beautiful” poems and summarized the conventions of a poem. It is usually short. One sentence often consists of less than 10 words, and has a rhythm at the end of each sentence. What is more, it has a specific sentence pattern that would repeat all through the poem.

  These websites have a deep dig into the genre. They studied the features of genre and use the computer technology to generate a random one that fits all the conventions. Besides, they always list the conventions of the genre in order to show the most core heart of the genre. Last but not least, these websites help people understand genre by giving them a chance to create a specific genre by their own. The chance to do something by your own is far more important than just obtaining it from other indirect channels. So, give the people who made these websites the most sincerely greetings.
