• Authors: Abhilasha Sancheti, Kundan Krishna, Balaji Vasan Srinivasan, Anandhavelu Natarajan
• Abstract summary: Style transfer deals with the algorithms to transfer the stylistic properties of a piece of text into that of another while ensuring that the core content is preserved. Existing works evaluate the style transfer models based on content preservation and transfer strength. We propose a reinforcement learning based framework that directly rewards the framework on these target metrics yielding a better transfer of the target style.

• Abstract: Style transfer deals with the algorithms to transfer the stylistic properties of a piece of text into that of another while ensuring that the core content is preserved. There has been a lot of interest in the field of text style transfer due to its wide application to tailored text generation. Existing works evaluate the style transfer models based on content preservation and transfer strength. In this work, we propose a reinforcement learning based framework that directly rewards the framework on these target metrics yielding a better transfer of the target style. We show the improved performance of our proposed framework based on automatic and human evaluation on three independent tasks: wherein we transfer the style of text from formal to informal, high excitement to low excitement, modern English to Shakespearean English, and vice-versa in all the three cases. Improved performance of the proposed framework over existing state-of-the-art frameworks indicates the viability of the approach.

  We introduce a novel task of Multimodal Style Translation (MuST-Bench) MuST-Bench is a benchmark designed to evaluate the ability of visual text generation models to perform translation across different writing systems. In response, we introduce SIGIL, a framework for multimodal style translation that eliminates the need for style descriptions.

  Textual style transfer is the task of transforming stylistic properties of text while preserving meaning. We introduce a novel diffusion-based framework for general-purpose style transfer that can be flexibly adapted to arbitrary target styles. We validate the method on the Enron Email Corpus, with both human and automatic evaluations, and find that it outperforms strong baselines on formality, sentiment, and even authorship style transfer.

• StoryTrans: Non-Parallel Story Author-Style Transfer with Discourse Representations and Content Enhancing [73.81778485157234]
  Long texts usually involve more complicated author linguistic preferences such as discourse structures than sentences. We formulate the task of non-parallel story author-style transfer, which requires transferring an input story into a specified author style. We use an additional training objective to disentangle stylistic features from the learned discourse representation to prevent the model from degenerating to an auto-encoder.

  Non-parallel text style transfer has attracted increasing research interests in recent years. Current approaches still lack the ability to preserve the content and even logic of original sentences. We propose a method called Graph Transformer based Auto-GTAE, which models a sentence as a linguistic graph and performs feature extraction and style transfer at the graph level.

  Contextual Text Style Transfer aims to translate a sentence into a desired style with its surrounding context taken into account. We propose a Context-Aware Style Transfer (CAST) model, which uses two separate encoders for each input sentence and its surrounding context. Two new benchmarks, Enron-Context and Reddit-Context, are introduced for formality and offensiveness style transfer.
