• Title: Replacing Language Model for Style Transfer
• Authors: Pengyu Cheng, Ruineng Li
• Abstract summary: We introduce replacing language model (RLM), a sequence-to-sequence language modeling framework for text style transfer (TST) Our method autoregressively replaces each token of the source sentence with a text span that has a similar meaning but in the target style. The new span is generated via a non-autoregressive masked language model, which can better preserve the local-contextual meaning of the replaced token.

• Abstract: We introduce replacing language model (RLM), a sequence-to-sequence language modeling framework for text style transfer (TST). Our method autoregressively replaces each token of the source sentence with a text span that has a similar meaning but in the target style. The new span is generated via a non-autoregressive masked language model, which can better preserve the local-contextual meaning of the replaced token. This RLM generation scheme gathers the flexibility of autoregressive models and the accuracy of non-autoregressive models, which bridges the gap between sentence-level and word-level style transfer methods. To control the generation style more precisely, we conduct a token-level style-content disentanglement on the hidden representations of RLM. Empirical results on real-world text datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of RLM compared with other TST baselines. The code is at https://github.com/Linear95/RLM.

  Unsupervised Text Style Transfer (UTST) has emerged as a critical task within the domain of Natural Language Processing (NLP) We propose four ways of interactions, that are pipeline framework with tuned orders; knowledge distillation from Large Language Models (LLMs) to attention masking model; in-context learning with constructed parallel examples. We empirically show these multi-way interactions can improve the baselines in certain perspective of style strength, content preservation and text fluency.

  Click-through rate (CTR) prediction plays as a core function module in personalized online services. Traditional ID-based models for CTR prediction take as inputs the one-hot encoded ID features of tabular modality. Pretrained Language Models(PLMs) has given rise to another paradigm, which takes as inputs the sentences of textual modality. We propose to conduct Fine-grained feature-level ALignment between ID-based Models and Pretrained Language Models(FLIP) for CTR prediction.

• On Text Style Transfer via Style Masked Language Models [5.754152248672319]
  Text Style Transfer (TST) is performable through approaches such as latent space disentanglement, cycleconsistency losses, prototype editing. We present a prototype editing approach, which involves two key phases a) Masking of source style-associated tokens and b) Reconstruction of this source-style masked sentence conditioned with the target style. We empirically show that this non-generational approach well suites the "content preserving" criteria for a task like TST, even for a complex baseline like Discourse.
