Belief-based Generation of Argumentative Claims (2021.eacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods to generate argument with the ability to encode beliefs are limited by the noise generated by the automatic collection of bag-of-words. |
| Approach: | They propose to augment argument generation technology with ability to encode beliefs . they model users' beliefs via their stances on big issues and extend text generation models with extra input reflecting user's beliefs. |

Enhancing Topic-to-Essay Generation with External Commonsense Knowledge (P19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for topic-to-essay generation are insufficient for generating novel, diverse, and topic-consistent paragraph-level text with a set of topics. |
| Approach: | They propose to integrate commonsense from external knowledge base into the generator through dynamic memory mechanism and adversarial training to further improve topic-consistency. |
| Outcome: | The proposed task is more novel, diverse, and topic-consistent than existing methods in terms of both automatic and human evaluation. |
