• Abstract summary: We provide a novel reference dataset for Russian language modeling. We experiment with popular modern methods for text generation, namely variational autoencoders, and generative adversarial networks. We evaluate the generated text regarding metrics such as perplexity, grammatical correctness and lexical diversity.

• Abstract: Generating coherent, grammatically correct, and meaningful text is very challenging, however, it is crucial to many modern NLP systems. So far, research has mostly focused on English language, for other languages both standardized datasets, as well as experiments with state-of-the-art models, are rare. In this work, we i) provide a novel reference dataset for Russian language modeling, ii) experiment with popular modern methods for text generation, namely variational autoencoders, and generative adversarial networks, which we trained on the new dataset. We evaluate the generated text regarding metrics such as perplexity, grammatical correctness and lexical diversity.

  We present a suite of experiments that allow us to understand the underlying challenges of language model adaptation to nonstandard text. We do so by designing interventions that approximate several types of linguistic variation and their interactions with existing biases of language models. Applying our interventions during language model adaptation with varying size and nature of training data, we gain important insights into when knowledge transfer can be successful.

  We propose a novel LSTM-based generative speech LM based on linguistic units including syllables and phonemes. With a limited dataset, orders of magnitude smaller than that required by contemporary generative models, our model closely approximates babbling speech. We show the effect of training with auxiliary text LMs, multitask learning objectives, and auxiliary articulatory features.

  We introduce the task of historical text summarisation, where documents in historical forms of a language are summarised in the corresponding modern language. This is a fundamentally important routine to historians and digital humanities researchers but has never been automated. We compile a high-quality gold-standard text summarisation dataset, which consists of historical German and Chinese news from hundreds of years ago summarised in modern German or Chinese.

We analyse the ability of our multilingual models to accurately capture morphology and word order using human evaluation, and find that native speakers judge our generations to be fluent.

  Recent advances in neural network-based generative modeling have reignited the hopes in having computer systems capable of seamlessly conversing with humans. High capacity deep learning models trained on large scale datasets demonstrate unparalleled abilities to learn patterns in the data even in the lack of explicit supervision signals. There is no standard way to assess the quality of text produced by these generative models, which constitutes a serious bottleneck towards the progress of the field.
