This chapter aspires to introduce and familiarize the reader with more advanced concepts, such as statistical data analyses, textual parsing, and ways to implement intelligent encodings. We will, further, examine the concept of automaton and demonstrate how we can implement autonomous systems that generate audiovisual structures on their own. Yet, it has to be emphasized that this chapter serves primarily as a pragmatic introduction rather than a formal treatise to the aforementioned. Even though I have done my best to ensure that the examples so far are indicative of both the complexities as well as the potential of the topics discussed, those interested in an in-depth discussion of the technical challenges involved in any of those areas should refer to more specialized resources.
The topics that will be covered in this chapter are as follows:
Statistical analysis and probability distributions
Textual parsing
Intelligent encodings
Neural networks...
