Challenge: Existing studies explore performing text style transfer on attributes like age, gender, formality, politeness, and formality.
Approach: They propose a framework that freezes the pre-trained model’s original parameters and enables the development of a multiple-attribute text style transfer model.
Outcome: The proposed model outperforms state-of-the-art models on sentiment transfer and multiple-attribute transfer tasks with significantly less computational resources.
