DOC: Improving Long Story Coherence With Detailed Outline Control (2023.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Detailed Outline Control (DOC) framework improves long-range plot coherence . human evaluations of DOC show it outperforms strong Re3 on plot cohesion, outline relevance and interestingness . |
| Approach: | They propose a Detailed Outline Control framework to improve long-range plot coherence . the detailed outliner creates a more detailed, hierarchically structured outline . they propose doc with a detailed controller to ensure the more detailed outline is respected . |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework outperforms Re3 on plot coherence, outline relevance and interestingness. |

| Challenge: | Existing studies on linguistic efficiency have focused on the systematicity of forms, a key property of natural language. |
| Approach: | They propose to incorporate regularity across sets of forms in studies of efficiency in language . they use the Minimum Description Length approach to measure regularity and processing complexity . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method shows that recursive numeral systems are more efficient with respect to regularity and processing complexity. |
