Evaluating Text GANs as Language Models (N19-1)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) do not suffer from the problem of exposure bias.
Approach: They propose to approximate the distribution of text generated by a GAN and compare it to traditional probability-based LM metrics.
Outcome: The proposed method performs significantly worse than state-of-the-art LMs on several GAN-based models and can accelerate progress in GAN text generation.

Latent Code and Text-based Generative Adversarial Networks for Soft-text Generation (N19-1)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Text generation with generative adversarial networks (GANs) can be divided into text-based and code-based categories depending on the type of signals used for discrimination.
Approach: They propose a text-based approach to exploit generative adversarial networks (GANs) by using autoencoders to provide a continuous representation of sentences, which they will refer to as soft-text, and hybrid latent code and text-oriented approaches with one or more discriminators.
Outcome: The proposed approach outperforms the traditional GAN-based methods on two well-known datasets.
A Preliminary Exploration of GANs for Keyphrase Generation (2020.emnlp-main)

Challenge: Existing studies on extractive keyphrases have shown promising results, but the results suggest that there is room for improvement.
Approach: They propose a new keyphrase generation approach using Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) their model produces a sequence of keyphrases and a discriminator distinguishes between human-curated and machine-generated keyphrase.
Outcome: The proposed model outperforms the state-of-the-art generative models on benchmark datasets and is comparable to the best performing extractive models.

Challenge: Existing text generation methods tend to produce repeated and ”boring” expressions.
Approach: They propose a model that assigns low reward for repeatedly generated text and high reward for ”novel” and fluent text, and a novel language-model based discriminator which can distinguish novel text from repeated text without the saturation problem.
Outcome: The proposed model generates more diverse and informative text than existing baselines on review generation and dialogue generation tasks.

An Empirical Study of Generating Texts for Search Engine Advertising (2021.naacl-industry)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing studies on neural language generation have not evaluated the effect of generated ads with actual serving included because it requires a large amount of training data and a particular environment.
Approach: They propose to integrate a reinforcement learning framework into an end-to-end sequence-tosequence (Seq2S) model and demonstrate how to improve the ads’ impact, deploy models to a product, and evaluate the generated ads.
Outcome: The proposed method improves the ads’ impact, deploys the models to a product, and evaluates the generated ads.
