The code for generating the portmanteaus and rhymes can be found at the entendrepreneur-web github repository. This algorithm was presented at the NeurIPS 2018 Creativity and Design Workshop under the title "Entendrepreneur: Generating Humorous Portmanteaus using Word-Embeddings", the associated conference paper can be found here.

I've been overwhelmed with the attention this site has received, and I've had to upgrade the servers to cope with the traffic. Unforutately that also means increased costs, and because I want to keep this site ad-free, I would greatly appreciate it if you could make a donation to help keep the site running, thank you!
