• Title: A Review of Text Style Transfer using Deep Learning
• Authors: Martina Toshevska, Sonja Gievska
• Abstract summary: Text style transfer is a task of adapting and/or changing the stylistic manner in which a sentence is written. We point out the technological advances in deep neural networks that have been the driving force behind current successes in the fields of natural language understanding and generation. The review is structured around two key stages in the text style transfer process, namely, representation learning and sentence generation in a new style.

• Abstract: Style is an integral component of a sentence indicated by the choice of words a person makes. Different people have different ways of expressing themselves, however, they adjust their speaking and writing style to a social context, an audience, an interlocutor or the formality of an occasion. Text style transfer is defined as a task of adapting and/or changing the stylistic manner in which a sentence is written, while preserving the meaning of the original sentence. A systematic review of text style transfer methodologies using deep learning is presented in this paper. We point out the technological advances in deep neural networks that have been the driving force behind current successes in the fields of natural language understanding and generation. The review is structured around two key stages in the text style transfer process, namely, representation learning and sentence generation in a new style. The discussion highlights the commonalities and differences between proposed solutions as well as challenges and opportunities that are expected to direct and foster further research in the field.

  Unsupervised text style transfer task aims to rewrite a text into target style while preserving its main content. Traditional methods rely on the use of a fixed-sized vector to regulate text style, which is difficult to accurately convey the style strength for each individual token. Our proposed method addresses this issue by assigning individual style vector to each token in a text, allowing for fine-grained control and manipulation of the style strength.

  We propose the novel task of style infusion - infusing the stylistic preferences of audiences in pretrained language generation models. We leverage limited pairwise human judgments to bootstrap a style analysis model and augment our seed set of judgments. Our infusion approach can generate compelling stylized examples with generic text prompts.

  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.

  Style transfer aims at re-writing existing texts and creating paraphrases that exhibit desired stylistic attributes. A handful of surveys give a methodological overview of the field, but they do not support researchers to focus on specific styles. We organize them into a hierarchy, highlighting the challenges for the definition of each of them, and pointing out gaps in the current research landscape.

  Text style transfer is an important task in natural language generation, which aims to control certain attributes in the generated text. We present a systematic survey of the research on neural text style transfer, spanning over 100 representative articles since the first neural text style transfer work in 2017. We discuss the task formulation, existing datasets and subtasks, evaluation, as well as the rich methodologies in the presence of parallel and non-parallel data.
