• 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.

  DRESS is a novel approach for generating stylized large language model (LLM) responses through representation editing. Our approach disentangles a style-relevant subspace within the model's representation space to conduct representation editing. In short, DRESS is a lightweight, train-free solution for enhancing LLMs with flexible and effective style control.

  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.

  Textual style transfer is the task of transforming stylistic properties of text while preserving meaning. We introduce a novel diffusion-based framework for general-purpose style transfer that can be flexibly adapted to arbitrary target styles. We validate the method on the Enron Email Corpus, with both human and automatic evaluations, and find that it outperforms strong baselines on formality, sentiment, and even authorship style transfer.

• 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.
