• Authors: Vipul Raheja, Dhruv Kumar, Ryan Koo, Dongyeop Kang
• Abstract summary: CoEdIT is a state-of-the-art text editing system for writing assistance. It takes instructions from the user specifying the attributes of the desired text, and outputs the edited text. We present a large language model fine-tuned on a diverse collection of task-specific instructions for text editing.

• Abstract: We introduce CoEdIT, a state-of-the-art text editing system for writing assistance. CoEdIT takes instructions from the user specifying the attributes of the desired text, such as "Make the sentence simpler" or "Write it in a more neutral style," and outputs the edited text. We present a large language model fine-tuned on a diverse collection of task-specific instructions for text editing (a total of 82K instructions). Our model (1) achieves state-of-the-art performance on various text editing benchmarks, (2) is competitive with publicly available largest-sized LLMs trained on instructions while being nearly 60x smaller, (3) is capable of generalizing to unseen edit instructions, and (4) exhibits abilities to generalize to composite instructions containing different combinations of edit actions. Through extensive qualitative and quantitative analysis, we show that writers prefer the edits suggested by CoEdIT relative to other state-of-the-art text editing models. Our code, data, and models are publicly available at https://github.com/vipulraheja/coedit.

  We introduce DocEdit-v2, a novel framework that performs end-to-end document editing by leveraging Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) It consists of three novel components: (1) Doc2Command, which simultaneously localizes edit regions of interest (RoI) and disambiguates user edit requests into edit commands; (2) LLM-based Command Reformulation prompting to tailor edit commands originally intended for specialized software into edit instructions suitable for generalist LMMs; and (3) Moreover, DocEdit-v2 processes these outputs via Large Multimodal Models like GPT-4V and Gemini, to parse the document layout, execute edits on

  We propose an inference-time editing optimisation to accommodate multiple editing instruction types. By allowing to adjust the influence of each loss function, we build a flexible editing solution that can be adjusted to user preferences. We evaluate our method using text, pose and scribble edit conditions, and highlight our ability to achieve complex edits.

  We present Emu Edit, a multi-task image editing model which sets state-of-the-art results in instruction-based image editing. We train it to multi-task across an unprecedented range of tasks, such as region-based editing, free-form editing, and Computer Vision tasks. We show that Emu Edit can generalize to new tasks, such as image inpainting, super-resolution, and compositions of editing tasks, with just a few labeled examples.

We find that SWiPE-trained models generate more complex edits while reducing unwanted edits.

• Improving Iterative Text Revision by Learning Where to Edit from Other Revision Tasks [11.495407637511878]
  Iterative text revision improves text quality by fixing grammatical errors, rephrasing for better readability or contextual appropriateness, or reorganizing sentence structures throughout a document. Most recent research has focused on understanding and classifying different types of edits in the iterative revision process from human-written text. We aim to build an end-to-end text revision system that can iteratively generate helpful edits by explicitly detecting editable spans with their corresponding edit intents.

  This work presents EditEval: An instruction-based, benchmark and evaluation suite for automatic evaluation of editing capabilities. We evaluate several pre-trained models, which shows that InstructGPT and PEER perform the best, but that most baselines fall below the supervised SOTA. Our analysis shows that commonly used metrics for editing tasks do not always correlate well, and that optimization for prompts with the highest performance does not necessarily entail the strongest robustness to different models.
