#22The coolest thing here is the Emoji to English translation, IMO, which builds grammatically-correct sentences from an unlimited number of emojis. Translating english -> emoji -> english makes for some interesting mistranslations. It's good enough that I'm wondering whether they're drawing off recent english->emoji translations to reverse emojis back to the source material. Example of Edgar Allan Poe's Tell-Tale Heart…
This is amazing. I think it is trained on well-known works. Opening of the Raven, translated to English->Emoji->English:
Once upon a night of despair, while I was thinking, weak and weary,
Over the many compelling and curious volume of forgotten tales —
While I nodded, nearly asleep, suddenly there came a tap, Only a weak resume, write my chamber door.
"'Tis the information," I muttered, " tapping my chamber door — Only this and nothing more .”

Yandex's Emoji-to-English translation engine seems to be able to figure it out!
