Prompt-based Pseudo-labeling Strategy for Sample-Efficient Semi-Supervised Extractive Summarization
While SSL is popular for image and text classification, it is relatively underexplored for the task of extractive text summarization.
PromptMix: A Class Boundary Augmentation Method for Large Language Model Distillation
Our specific PromptMix method consists of two steps: 1) generate challenging text augmentations near class boundaries; however, generating borderline examples increases the risk of false positives in the dataset, so we 2) relabel the text augmentations using a prompting-based LLM classifier to enhance the correctness of labels in the generated data.
Future Sight: Dynamic Story Generation with Large Pretrained Language Models
In this work, we propose Future Sight, a method for finetuning a pretrained generative transformer on the task of future conditioning.
LyricJam Sonic: A Generative System for Real-Time Composition and Musical Improvisation
Subsequently, it is difficult for artists to rediscover audio segments that might be suitable for use in their compositions from thousands of hours of recordings.
LyricJam: A system for generating lyrics for live instrumental music
We describe a real-time system that receives a live audio stream from a jam session and generates lyric lines that are congruent with the live music being played.
Towards A Multi-agent System for Online Hate Speech Detection
This paper envisions a multi-agent system for detecting the presence of hate speech in online social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook.
Deep Learning for Text Style Transfer: A Survey
Text style transfer is an important task in natural language generation, which aims to control certain attributes in the generated text, such as politeness, emotion, humor, and many others.
Generation of lyrics lines conditioned on music audio clips
We present a system for generating novel lyrics lines conditioned on music audio.
Stylized Text Generation: Approaches and Applications
We start from the definition of style and different settings of stylized text generation, illustrated with various applications.

Discrete Optimization for Unsupervised Sentence Summarization with Word-Level Extraction
Automatic sentence summarization produces a shorter version of a sentence, while preserving its most important information.
Polarized-VAE: Proximity Based Disentangled Representation Learning for Text Generation
Learning disentangled representations of real-world data is a challenging open problem.
Stylized Text Generation Using Wasserstein Autoencoders with a Mixture of Gaussian Prior
Moreover, we can train our model on relatively small datasets and learn the latent representation of a specified class by adding external data with other styles/classes to our dataset.
Adaptive Fusion Techniques for Multimodal Data
Effective fusion of data from multiple modalities, such as video, speech, and text, is challenging due to the heterogeneous nature of multimodal data.
Adversarial Learning on the Latent Space for Diverse Dialog Generation
Generating relevant responses in a dialog is challenging, and requires not only proper modeling of context in the conversation but also being able to generate fluent sentences during inference.
Generating Sentences from Disentangled Syntactic and Semantic Spaces
In this paper, we propose to generate sentences from disentangled syntactic and semantic spaces.
Distilling Task-Specific Knowledge from BERT into Simple Neural Networks
In the natural language processing literature, neural networks are becoming increasingly deeper and complex.

Generating lyrics with variational autoencoder and multi-modal artist embeddings
We present a system for generating song lyrics lines conditioned on the style of a specified artist.
Disentangled Representation Learning for Non-Parallel Text Style Transfer
This paper tackles the problem of disentangling the latent variables of style and content in language models.
Stochastic Wasserstein Autoencoder for Probabilistic Sentence Generation
The variational autoencoder (VAE) imposes a probabilistic distribution (typically Gaussian) on the latent space and penalizes the Kullback--Leibler (KL) divergence between the posterior and prior.
Variational Attention for Sequence-to-Sequence Models
The variational encoder-decoder (VED) encodes source information as a set of random variables using a neural network, which in turn is decoded into target data using another neural network.
