• Title: Generating Diverse Descriptions from Semantic Graphs
• Authors: Jiuzhou Han, Daniel Beck, Trevor Cohn
• Abstract summary: We present a graph-to-text model, incorporating a latent variable in an an-decoder model, and its use in an ensemble. We show an ensemble of models produces diverse sets of generated sentences, while retaining similar quality to state-of-the-art models. We evaluate the models on WebNLG datasets in English and Russian, and show an ensemble of models produces diverse sets of generated sentences, while retaining similar quality to state-of-the-art models.

• Abstract: Text generation from semantic graphs is traditionally performed with deterministic methods, which generate a unique description given an input graph. However, the generation problem admits a range of acceptable textual outputs, exhibiting lexical, syntactic and semantic variation. To address this disconnect, we present two main contributions. First, we propose a stochastic graph-to-text model, incorporating a latent variable in an encoder-decoder model, and its use in an ensemble. Second, to assess the diversity of the generated sentences, we propose a new automatic evaluation metric which jointly evaluates output diversity and quality in a multi-reference setting. We evaluate the models on WebNLG datasets in English and Russian, and show an ensemble of stochastic models produces diverse sets of generated sentences, while retaining similar quality to state-of-the-art models.

• Discrete Graph Auto-Encoder [52.50288418639075]
  We introduce a new framework named Discrete Graph Auto-Encoder (DGAE) We first use a permutation-equivariant auto-encoder to convert graphs into sets of discrete latent node representations. In the second step, we sort the sets of discrete latent representations and learn their distribution with a specifically designed auto-regressive model.

  We propose an end-to-end translation architecture from the (graph & sequence) structural inputs to the (graph & sequence) outputs, where the target translation and its corresponding syntactic graph are jointly modeled and generated. We conduct extensive experiments on five widely acknowledged translation benchmarks, verifying our proposal achieves consistent improvements over baselines and other syntax-aware variants.

  We present MAUVE, a family of comparison measures between pairs of distributions such as those encountered in the generative modeling of text or images. We find that MAUVE can quantify the gaps between the distributions of human-written text and those of modern neural language models. We demonstrate in the vision domain that MAUVE can identify known properties of generated images on par with or better than existing metrics.

  We consider the problem of modelling high-dimensional distributions and generating new examples of data with complex relational feature structure coherent with a graph skeleton. The model we propose tackles the problem of generating the data features constrained by the specific graph structure of each data point by splitting the task into two phases. In the first it models the distribution of features associated with the nodes of the given graph, in the second it complements the edge features conditionally on the node features.

  DiffusER is an edit-based generative model for text based on denoising diffusion models. It can rival autoregressive models on several tasks spanning machine translation, summarization, and style transfer. It can also perform other varieties of generation that standard autoregressive models are not well-suited for.

• Disentangling Generative Factors in Natural Language with Discrete Variational Autoencoders [0.0]
  We argue that continuous variables may not be ideal to model features of textual data, due to the fact that most generative factors in text are discrete. We propose a Variational Autoencoder based method which models language features as discrete variables and encourages independence between variables for learning disentangled representations.

Our proposed method utilizes both the graphical structure as well as the sequential nature of the texts. While the proposed model has wide applications, we demonstrate its capabilities on data-to-text generation tasks.

We propose the use of dual encoders---a sequential document encoder and a graph-structured encoder---to maintain the global context and local characteristics of entities. Results show that our models produce significantly higher ROUGE scores than a variant without knowledge graph as input on both New York Times and CNN/Daily Mail datasets.
