Pretrained Language Models for Text Generation: A Survey

no code implementations14 Jan 2022 Junyi Li, Tianyi Tang, Wayne Xin Zhao, Jian-Yun Nie, Ji-Rong Wen

We begin with introducing three key aspects of applying PLMs to text generation: 1) how to encode the input into representations preserving input semantics which can be fused into PLMs; 2) how to design an effective PLM to serve as the generation model; and 3) how to effectively optimize PLMs given the reference text and to ensure that the generated texts satisfy special text properties.
