• Title: Sequentially Controlled Text Generation
• Authors: Alexander Spangher, Xinyu Hua, Yao Ming, Nanyun Peng
• Abstract summary: GPT-2 generates sentences that are remarkably human-like, longer documents can ramble and do not follow human-like writing structure. We study the problem of imposing structure on long-range text. We develop a sequential controlled text generation pipeline with generation and editing.

• Abstract: While GPT-2 generates sentences that are remarkably human-like, longer documents can ramble and do not follow human-like writing structure. We study the problem of imposing structure on long-range text. We propose a novel controlled text generation task, sequentially controlled text generation, and identify a dataset, NewsDiscourse as a starting point for this task. We develop a sequential controlled text generation pipeline with generation and editing. We test different degrees of structural awareness and show that, in general, more structural awareness results in higher control-accuracy, grammaticality, coherency and topicality, approaching human-level writing performance.

  Open-ended text generation tasks require models to generate a coherent continuation given limited preceding context. We propose a novel two-stage method which explicitly arranges the ensuing events in open-ended text generation. Our approach can be understood as a specially-trained coarse-to-fine algorithm.

  We consider the task of data-to-text generation, which aims to create textual output from non-linguistic input. We propose a neural model enhanced with a planning component responsible for organizing high-level information in a coherent and meaningful way. We infer latent plans sequentially with a structured variational model, while interleaving the steps of planning and generation.
