Recurrence Boosts Diversity! Revisiting Recurrent Latent Variable in Transformer-Based Variational AutoEncoder for Diverse Text Generation (2022.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Variational Auto-Encoder (VAE) has been widely adopted in text generation due to its ability to learn flexible representations. |
| Approach: | They propose a Transformer-based recurrent VAE structure that imposes recurrence on segment-wise latent variables with arbitrarily separated text segments and constructs the posterior distribution with residual parameterization. |
| Outcome: | The proposed structure can deduce a non-zero lower bound of the KL term and enhance the entanglement of each segment and preceding latent variables, providing a theoretical guarantee of generation diversity. |
