A Skeleton-Based Model for Promoting Coherence Among Sentences in Narrative Story Generation (D18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing models for narrative story generation lack semantic dependency among sentences. |
| Approach: | They propose a skeleton-based model that generates the most critical phrases and expands them to a complete sentence. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can generate significantly more coherent stories according to human evaluation and automatic evaluation. |
