Content Planning for Neural Story Generation with Aristotelian Rescoring (2020.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Current approaches to narrative composition are plagued by difficulty in mastering structure, will veer between topics, and lack long-range cohesion. |
| Approach: | They propose a plot-generation language model and a set of rescoring models that implement an aspect of good story-writing as detailed in Aristotle's Poetics. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system improves the quality of the narrative generated from the proposed model and improves its relevance to a given prompt and quality of stories written with our principled plot structure. |
Harnessing the power of LLMs: Evaluating human-AI text co-creation through the lens of news headline generation (2023.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) have shattered the ceiling of human-like text generation. |
| Approach: | They compared human-AI interaction types in LLM-assisted news headline generation to determine whether humans can best leverage them for writing. |
| Outcome: | The guiding and selecting model outputs added the most benefit with the lowest cost (in time and effort) Furthermore, AI assistance did not harm participants’ perception of control compared to freeform editing. |
