Understanding Iterative Revision from Human-Written Text (2022.acl-long)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: This work describes IteraTeR: the first large-scale, multi-domain, edit-intention annotated corpus of iteratively revised text.
Approach: They propose to annotate iteratively revised text using a multi-domain annotated corpus that generalizes to a variety of domains, edit intentions, revision depths, and granularities.
Outcome: The proposed model improves automatic evaluations by integrating edit intentions with writing quality.

Intention-Adaptive LLM Fine-Tuning for Text Revision Generation (2026.findings-eacl)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing work on large language models (LLMs) has demonstrated impressive capabilities in context-based text generation tasks, such as summarization and reasoning.
Approach: They propose an intention-adaptive layer-wise LLM fine-tuning framework that dynamically selects a subset of LLM layers to learn intentions and transfers them to revision generation.
Outcome: The proposed framework outperforms PEFT baselines on small revision corpora while maintaining fast convergence and accuracy.
