Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a new tool for semantic writing aids collects training examples from usage data. |
| Approach: | They propose a semantic writing aid tool based on adaptive paraphrasing that integrates into a real word application to collect training examples from usage data. |
| Outcome: | The proposed tool is integrated into a real word application to collect training examples from usage data. |
Controllable Text Simplification with Lexical Constraint Loss (P19-2)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing models that only consider the sentence level generate words beyond the target level. |
| Approach: | They propose a method to control the level of a sentence in a text simplification task . they add the target grade level as input and weight words in the loss function . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method improves both BLEU and SARI scores and achieves aggressive rewriting. |
Small but Mighty: New Benchmarks for Split and Rephrase (2020.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Split and Rephrase is a text simplification task that requires a strong evaluation benchmark and metric . despite its relatively new nature, the benchmark dataset contains easily exploitable syntactic cues . |
| Approach: | They propose to use crowdsourced datasets to evaluate split and rephrase models . they find that the widely used benchmark dataset universally contains exploitable syntactic cues . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model performs better than the state-of-the-art model, the authors say . they show that the datasets contain significantly more diverse syntax . |
