Challenge: Existing language models excel at writing from scratch, but many real-world scenarios require rewriting an entire document to fit a set of constraints.
Approach: They propose a document-level targeted content transfer task that addresses the challenge of rewriting an entire document coherently by generating coherent and diverse rewrites that obey a constraint while remaining close to the original document.
Outcome: The proposed model outperforms existing methods by generating coherent and diverse rewrites that obey the constraint while remaining close to the original document.

Don’t Add, don’t Miss: Effective Content Preserving Generation from Pre-Selected Text Spans (2023.findings-emnlp)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing CTR models are mediocre and lack reliable performance . authors propose an explicit decomposition of these two subtasks into a single task .
Approach: They propose an isolated task that challenges models to generate coherent text conforming to pre-selected content within the input text ("highlights") authors propose a high-quality, open-source CTR model that tackles two prior key limitations: inadequate enforcement of the content-preservation constraint, and suboptimal silver training data.
Outcome: The proposed model significantly improves silver training data quality over the existing model, with up to 30 ROUGE-L points.

Thank you BART! Rewarding Pre-Trained Models Improves Formality Style Transfer (2021.acl-short)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Formality style transfer models have limited success in preserving content due to the scarcity of parallel data.
Approach: They propose to fine-tune pre-trained language and sequence-to-sequence models with rewards that target style and content to enhance content preservation.
Outcome: The proposed models can be fine-tuned with rewards that target style and content, and achieve good performance even with limited amounts of parallel data.
