The Mechanical Bard: An Interpretable Machine Learning Approach to Shakespearean Sonnet Generation (2023.acl-short)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Rather than train a model to obey these constraints implicitly, we opt to enforce them explicitly using a simple but novel approach to generation. |
| Approach: | They propose to automate the generation of sonnets within preset poetic constraints using a constrained decoding approach that uses a relatively modest neural backbone. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method produces sonnets that adhere to the genre’s defined constraints and contain lyrical language and literary devices. |
