• Authors: Mingda Chen, Sam Wiseman, Kevin Gimpel
• Abstract summary: We benchmark several training and decoding strategies on WikiTableT. Our qualitative analysis shows that the best approaches can generate fluent and high quality texts but they sometimes struggle with coherence.

• Abstract: Datasets for data-to-text generation typically focus either on multi-domain, single-sentence generation or on single-domain, long-form generation. In this work, we create a large-scale dataset, WikiTableT, that pairs Wikipedia sections with their corresponding tabular data and various metadata. WikiTableT contains millions of instances, covering a broad range of topics, as well as a variety of flavors of generation tasks with different levels of flexibility. We benchmark several training and decoding strategies on WikiTableT. Our qualitative analysis shows that the best approaches can generate fluent and high quality texts but they sometimes struggle with coherence.

• Integrating Planning into Single-Turn Long-Form Text Generation [66.08871753377055]
  We propose to use planning to generate long form content. Our main novelty lies in a single auxiliary task that does not require multiple rounds of prompting or planning. Our experiments demonstrate on two datasets from different domains, that LLMs fine-tuned with the auxiliary task generate higher quality documents.

  Existing work on Wikipedia text generation has focused on English only where English reference articles are summarized to generate English Wikipedia pages. We propose XWikiGen, which is the task of cross-lingual multi-document summarization of text from multiple reference articles, written in various languages, to generate Wikipedia-style text.

  We propose WikiAsp, a large-scale dataset for multi-domain aspect-based summarization. Specifically, we build the dataset using Wikipedia articles from 20 different domains, using the section titles and boundaries of each article as a proxy for aspect annotation. Results highlight key challenges that existing summarization models face in this setting, such as proper pronoun handling of quoted sources and consistent explanation of time-sensitive events.

  We propose a new generation task called Partially-Aligned Data-to-Text Generation (PADTG) It is more practical since it utilizes automatically annotated data for training and thus considerably expands the application domains. Our framework outperforms all baseline models as well as verify the feasibility of utilizing partially-aligned data.

  ToTTo is an open-domain English table-to-text dataset with over 120,000 training examples. We introduce a dataset construction process where annotators directly revise existing candidate sentences from Wikipedia. While usually fluent, existing methods often hallucinate phrases that are not supported by the table.

This paper explores the problem of automatically learning reusable "templates" from paired and non-paired data. We propose the variational template machine (VTM), a novel method to generate text descriptions from data tables.
