• Abstract: We present an exploratory qualitative study to understand how writers interact with next-phrase suggestions. While there has been some quantitative research on the effects of suggestion systems on writing, there has been little qualitative work to understand how writers interact with suggestion systems and how it affects their writing process - specifically for a non-native but English writer. We conducted a study where amateur writers were asked to write two movie reviews each, one without suggestions and one with. We found writers interact with next-phrase suggestions in various complex ways - writers are able to abstract multiple parts of the suggestions and incorporate them within their writing - even when they disagree with the suggestion as a whole. The suggestion system also had various effects on the writing processes - contributing to different aspects of the writing process in unique ways. We propose a model of writer-suggestion interaction for writing with GPT-2 for a movie review writing task, followed by ways in which the model can be used for future research, along with outlining opportunities for research and design.

  This paper proposes to model multi-turn dialogues from a topic-aware perspective. We use a dialogue segmentation algorithm to split a dialogue passage into topic-concentrated fragments in an unsupervised way. We also present a novel model, Topic-Aware Dual-Attention Matching (TADAM) Network, which takes topic segments as processing elements.

  We introduce a novel taxonomy that categorizes scholarly writing behaviors according to intention, writer actions, and the information types of the written data. Motivated by cognitive writing theory, our taxonomy for scientific papers includes three levels of categorization in order to trace the general writing flow. ManuScript intends to provide a complete picture of the scholarly writing process by capturing the linearity and non-linearity of writing trajectory.

  We build a text editor prototype with a neural language model (GPT-2), refined in a prestudy with 30 people. In an online study (N=156), people composed emails in four conditions (0/1/3/6 parallel suggestions) Our results reveal (1) benefits for ideation, and costs for efficiency, when suggesting multiple phrases; (2) that non-native speakers benefit more from more suggestions; and (3) further insights into behaviour patterns.
