    "[Pincelate](https://pypi.org/project/pincelate/) is a machine learning model for spelling English words and sounding them out developed by artist [Allison Parrish](https://www.decontextualize.com/). It relies on particular versions of the Google-funded pre-trained machine learning models in [Tensorflow](https://www.tensorflow.org/) and the deep-learning API [Keras](https://keras.io/). If you are interested to see more ways to work with Pincelate, Parrish created a series of tutorials: [https://github.com/aparrish/nonsense-verse-pycon-2020](https://github.com/aparrish/nonsense-verse-pycon-2020).\n",

    "### Respelling\n",
    "\n",
    "This is how Parrish describes the *manipulate* function of Pincelate: \"Pincelate actually consists of two models: one that knows how to sound out words based on how they're spelled, and another that knows how to spell words from sounds.\"\n",
    "\n",
    "With this function, words are passing through the two models, taking words, sounding them out from their spelling and then bringing them back into writing via phonemes. As a way to situate ourselves into the conference, we propose to take the conference titles as material to reshape, contort, or respell. \n",
    "\n",
    "By respelling, we are not only writing out words again, but also remaking the spells that words cast. \n",

    "\n",
    "The code is not using machine learning models, in face it is a very basic script that proposes to start with three kinds of meaning making processes:\n",
    "\n",
    "* paranyms - words having nearly the same meaning a feeling about a word that is beyond, below, behind formalised definitions. Closely resembling the term but not the same.\n",
    "\n",
    "* parameanings - could be our understanding of terms that run parallel to the formal definition It could be a 'paranormal' understanding - one outside our known comprehensions.\n",
    "\n",
    "* paradoxes - in this conference, paradoxes are \"as a condition of existence that has the potential to shake the common sense of AI\". What are paradoxes that surround specific terms?\n",
