| Challenge: | Lexically-constrained sequence decoding allows for explicit positive or negative phrase-based constraints to be placed on target output strings in machine translation or monolingual text rewriting tasks. |
| Approach: | They propose a vectorized dynamic beam allocation algorithm which extends work in lexically-constrained decoding to work with batching. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method improves on natural language inference, question answering and machine translation tasks by fivefold . |
