QuestionMachine Learning for a translation algorithm between numbers and words Pin

If y'all don't mind, I'd love some input on this idea I have laid out below and an algorithm/process to make it come to life.

When you were a child did you ever making up a language with your friend so that when you wrote messages to each other only you two would be able to understand it? It was always simple stuff like a = "1", b = "!", c = "+", and etc. Basically, I want to mimic the thought process used to create a made-up language, but on a more complicated level. I would like to create a learning agent that will find correlations between a set of number strings and a set of common English words, so that the number strings and English words can be translated to and from one another. For example:

The agent would take in a set of strings of numbers like this: 010001110100111111, 10011101110, and 0111100101100000. And a set of English words like this: "banana", "apple", and "pear".

After reviewing both groups of data, the agent could match the numbers/letters like this: a = 10, b = 0100, e = 01110, l = 0011, n = 101, p = 0111, and r = 0111111

So that when translated, the numbers from above are as follows: 0100011110100111111 = "bear", 10011101110 = "ape", and 101011100111100011 = "nepal". And, when translated the words from above are as follows: "banana" = 0100101011010110, "apple" = 100111011101101110, and "pear" = 011101110100111111.

What are your thoughts on this idea? I know it would be a complicated process, if it's even possible at all. Would it be beneficial to include letter frequency statistics? Or even weight the words, for example weight "the" higher than "cat" since "the" is used so often in conversation. I realize that inevitably there would most likely be some number-to-word translations that would just result in garbage, but I hope that I could create this agent in such a way that those results don't happen very often. Would supervised learning pertain to a problem like this?

Thank you for your input! Also, this is just for a personal project - no assignments or projects or anything. I just think it'd be cool.
