• Authors: Jieyong Wang, Chunyao Song, Yihao Wu
• Abstract summary: We propose a novel copy mechanism model with a content selection module that integrates rich semantic knowledge from the language model into the decoder. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model can improve the generated text diversity by 35% to 59% compared to the state-of-the-art method.

• Abstract: The topic-to-essay generation task is a challenging natural language generation task that aims to generate paragraph-level text with high semantic coherence based on a given set of topic words. Previous work has focused on the introduction of external knowledge, ignoring the insufficient generated text diversity. In order to improve the generation diversity, we propose a novel copy mechanism model with a content selection module that integrates rich semantic knowledge from the language model into the decoder. Furthermore, we introduce the improved prefix tuning method to train the model, enabling it to adapt to varying input complexities. In addition, we have contributed a new Chinese dataset for TEG tasks. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model can improve the generated text diversity by 35\% to 59\% compared to the state-of-the-art method, while maintaining a high level of topic consistency.

  Long texts usually involve more complicated author linguistic preferences such as discourse structures than sentences. We formulate the task of non-parallel story author-style transfer, which requires transferring an input story into a specified author style. We use an additional training objective to disentangle stylistic features from the learned discourse representation to prevent the model from degenerating to an auto-encoder.
