Title: STYLE EXAMPLE-GUIDED TEXT GENERATION USING GENERATIVE ADVERSARIAL TRANSFORMERS

Abstract: We introduce a language generative model framework for generating a styled paragraph based on a context sentence and a style reference example. The framework consists of a style encoder and a texts decoder. The style encoder extracts a style code from the reference example, and the text decoder generates texts based on the style code and the context. We propose a novel objective function to train our framework. We also investigate different network design choices. We conduct extensive experimental validation with comparison to strong baselines to validate the effectiveness of the proposed framework using a newly collected dataset with diverse text styles. Both code and dataset will be released upon publication.

1. INTRODUCTION:

Text generation refers to the task of generating a new text based on some user input. The task exists in many forms, but arguably the most common form concerns generating a coherent and consistent text based on an input context such as the first few sentences of the target output. This is often achieved by giving the context to a generative language model. Generative language models play a central role in machine learning and natural language processing (NLP). Not only they serve as the main mean for unsupervised feature representation learning but also find use in various applications, including question answering, dialogue agents, summarization, and content creation systems.

Thanks to the introduction of novel deep learning architectures and the availability of large-scale training corpora, the state-of-the-art text generation has advanced significantly in recent years. We can now train language models capable of generating fluent and coherent texts that people cannot tell them apart from those written by humans. However, despite the great achievement, existing generative models are limited and inflexible in the sense that a trained model is only capable in generating texts of one style. It can not be used to generate texts of different styles. For instance, a news generative model can only be used to generate news, and a lyric generative model can only be used to generate lyrics. In contrast, humans can compose texts in various styles.

To bridge the gap, we propose a style example-guided text generation framework that can generate styled texts based on the style of the example reference text. In our framework, the generator takes two inputs where one is the context input while the other is the style reference example. We use the style reference example to change the generation behavior of our generative model dynamically. For a fixed context, when the provided style reference is a paragraph sampled from a news article, it becomes a news generator. When the provided style reference is a review, it becomes a review generator. In other words, the same generator can generate texts of different styles based on the examples. In Tab. 1, we show example outputs of the proposed framework where we generate texts of dramatically different styles for the same input sentence.

The proposed style example-guided text generation framework is based on the generative adversarial networks (GANs), and we utilize the transformer in both the generator and discriminator design. We collect a large dataset containing documents with many different styles for training. Using a novel learning objective function, our network learns to generate styled texts based on the input style example in an unsupervised manner. We conduct extensive experimental validations with comparisons to strong baselines. We also investigate different ways of designing the generator and compare their performance. Through detailed quantitative and user study results, we prove the effectiveness of the proposed framework for the style example-guided text generation task.

Machine learning (ML) is the scientific study of algorithms and statistical models that computer systems use to perform a specific task without using explicit instructions, relying on patterns and inference instead. It is seen as a subset of artificial intelligence. Machine learning algorithms build a mathematical model based on sample data, known as "training data", in order to make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed to perform the task.

2. RELATED WORK:

Language modeling has seen many advancements in recent years, which has resulted in significant improvements on various NLP tasks. Early language models focused on using n-grams to represent a text distribution. Bengio et al. (2003) introduced a neural language model in a shift from more traditional n-gram models. Many works later (Mikolov et al. (2013) 2019)) used transformer model and obtained significant improvements on downstream tasks (Wang et al. (2019) ; Rajpurkar et al. (2016) ; Zellers et al. (2018) ). Lately, (Radford et al. (2019) ) introduced GPT-2, a generative left-to-right language model based on the transformer and showed that these models are able to generate coherent text when pretrained on a large corpus. Shoeybi et al. (2019) further scaled up the GPT-2 model and demonstrated improved performance. Our work differs from the prior works because we aim for allowing user flexible control over the style of the generated text.

Texts generation includes review generation (Radford et al. (2018) ; Zang & Wan (2017) ), sentiment texts generation (Wang & Wan (2018) ; Hu et al. (2017) ; Merity et al. (2017) ), Wikipedia generation (Liu et al. (2018) ; Lebret et al. (2016) ), fake news generation (Bakhtin et al. (2019) ; Zellers et al. (2019) ), abstractive summarization (Li et al. (2018) ; Zhang et al. (2019) ; Pasunuru et al. (2017) ), and conversation/dialogue system (Vinyals & Le (2015) ; Budzianowski & Vulić (2019) ). Although many of them trained a transformer on large-scale corpora, their results were limited in their specific domain (e.g., reviews, news, etc.) because they either utilized domain-specific priors in their model design or were not designed to generate texts in many different domains or styles.

Control on texts generation. In addition, there are literature utilizing insertion-base (Stern et al. (2019) ; Chan et al. (2019) ), GAN-based (Yu et al. (2017); d'Autume et al. (2019) ), variational autoencoder-based (Xu et al. (2019) ), normalizing flow-based (Tran et al. (2019) ) approaches for general texts generation task. However, we instead focus on generating styled paragraphs conditioning on a context and a reference paragraph. A recent work by Keskar et al. (2019) is most related to ours. They propose a conditional transformer using a control code to perform language generation in a sequence-to-sequence manner. We demonstrate our method outperforms theirs by a large margin in the experiment section.

Text style transfer concerns transferring an input text of one style to a different style (Kerpedjiev (1992) ; Rao & Tetreault (2018) ; Xu (2017) ; Xu et al. (2012) ; Fu et al. (2018) ; Hu et al. (2017); Prabhumoye et al. (2018) ; Shen et al. (2017) ; Li et al. (2019) ). Our work is different since we do not aim for changing the style of a given text. Instead, we aim for a style-controllable way for generating texts from scratch. Also, rather than handling transferring between two styles (e.g., positive ↔ negative sentiments), our model can generate texts of many different styles. Finally, our model outputs paragraphs while existing text style transfer works mostly output sentences.

Image Style transfer is a popular topic in computer vision. There are many successful techniques, including iterative optimization on the gram matrix (Gatys et al. (2016) ), perceptual loss (Johnson et al. (2016) ; Gupta et al. (2017) ), feature transformation (Li et al. (2017) ), adaptive instancenormalization (Dumoulin et al. (2017) ; Huang & Belongie (2017) ), and GAN-based methods (Zhu et al. (2017) ; Kim et al. (2017) ). Our proposed framework also gets inspiration from them.

3. PRELIMINARIES:

Our framework is based on the transformer network (Vaswani et al. (2017) ) and the GAN framework (Goodfellow et al. (2014) ). In this section, we briefly review these two components.

Transformer is the state-of-the-art network for various natural language processing tasks. Different from RNNs (Hochreiter & Schmidhuber (1997) ; Bengio et al. (2003) ; Chung et al. (2014) ), which consume a sequence token by token, in a transformer network, the entire sequence is fed into layers of transformer modules. The representation of a token at a layer is then computed by attending to the latent representations of all the other tokens in the preceding layer.

Variants of transformer networks are available. We build our model based on GPT-2 transformer network (Radford et al. (2019) ; Shoeybi et al. (2019) ), which train a deep transformer using a leftto-right language model:

EQUATION

where w t 's denote the word tokens. Different from BERT-like transformer networks (Devlin et al. (2019) ; Liu et al. (2019d) ), GPT-2 makes a casual assumption, i.e., the latent representation of a token is calculated using only the latent representations of the preceding tokens. Thus, during generation, GPT-2 can be directly applied to complete the text given the context sentence.

GAN defines a zero-sum game played by a generator F and a discriminator D. Under some nice conditions, the generator learns to convert a random noise vector to a realistic signal in a way that the discriminator cannot tell it apart from real signals. In this case, the distribution of the output signals produced by the generator converges to the distribution of signals observed in the real world.

We use a conditional GAN where F takes a context sentence and a style reference example as inputs. To avoid non-differentiability in text decoding (e.g., beam search), we use a latent GAN formulation (Achlioptas et al. (2017) ). We first divide F into a feature extractor F f and an output embedding layer 

F o ; that is F ≡ F o • F f . Now, instead

4. STYLE EXAMPLE-GUIDED TEXT GENERATION:

We propose a language generative model framework that allows us to control style of the output text using a style reference example. Given few context sentences w = {w t } T t=1 and a reference text s, our generator F generates output text y that has the same style as the reference example s given by

y = F (w, s) ≡ F o (F f (w, s)).

(2)

We divide the feature extractor F f into a style encoder F s and a text decoder F g where the style encoder extracts a style representation from the style example, z = F s (s), and the text decoder F g consumes the style representation and the context sentences to compute a feature for F o to generate LGAN . Note that we decompose each network into a feature extractor and an embedding layer.

the styled text y. In this section, we will first introduce the data streams employed during training and our novel learning objective function. We will then discuss various generator design choices. Reconstruction stream (RS). For this steam, we first sample two documents with the same style from D: (d i , l i ) and (d j , l j ) where l i = l j . We then sample two paragraphs1 : p i ∼ d i and p j ∼ d j .

We extract the first few sentences from p i as the input context w = ψ(p i ), where ψ is the extraction function, and use p j for the style reference s. Feeding w and p j to the generator F , we expect F should be able to reconstruct p i : F (ψ(p i ), p j ) ≈ p i .

Cross-style generation stream (CS). We first sample two documents (d i , l i ) ∼ D and (d k , l k ) ∼ D where l i = l k . We then sample paragraphs p i ∼ d i and p k ∼ d k . We again extract the first few sentences from p i as the input context w = ψ(p i ) and use p k for the style reference s. As feeding w and p k to the generator F , we expect F should output p i→k = F (ψ(p i ), p k ) where p i→k should has the same style as d k . Let C * be an oracle style comparator function that outputs 1 if the two input texts have the same style and 0 otherwise. We aim for C * (p i→k , p k ) = 1.

4.2. LEARNING OBJECTIVE:

We propose an objective function consisting of four carefully designed loss terms for training the proposed framework using the above two data streams. The objective function is given by

EQUATION

where L LM is the language modeling loss, L DIST the distillation loss, L ST Y LE is a style comparison loss, and L GAN is the latent GAN loss. The scalars λ DIST , λ ST Y LE , and λ GAN are the hyper-parameters controlling relative importance of the terms. The values for these hyperparameters and the method for determining their values are discussed in Appendix A. We visualizes training with the proposed objective function using the two data streams in Fig. 1 .

Language modeling loss L LM formulates the probability distribution of a paragraph p as the product of the conditional probability of each token w t given the previous tokens {w t } T -1 t as shown in (1). We use L LM to supervise the training of the data reconstruction stream. It is given by

L LM = E (pi,pj )∼RS -1 T T t

log( e F (wt|w1:t-1,pj )

V v e F (wv|w1:t-1,pj )

) ,

where (p i , p j ) ∼ RS denotes that p i and p j are from the reconstruction stream. The variable T is the total number of tokens in p i and V is the size of the vocabulary.

Distillation loss. We use L DIST to regularize the learning as processing the data reconstruction steam. We pretrain a GPT-2 model using our dataset D and use it as our distillation target. We denote the pretrained GPT-2 model as H. (Note that H does not have the desired style control capability.) By jointly optimizing L LM and L DIST , we train F to generate fluent texts (by minimizing L LM ) as well as behave similarly to H (by minimizing L DIST ). The distillation loss is calculated by minimizing the mutual information between output distributions of F and H, which is given by

L DIST = E (pi,pj )∼RS -1 T T t |ν| v e H(wt=v|w1:t-1)

|ν| v e H(wv|w1:t-1)

log( e F (wt|w1:t-1,pj )

|ν| v e F (wv|w1:t-1,pj )

) .

(5)

We note that the distillation loss has been used in various tasks including model compression, transfer learning, life-long learning, etc (Hinton et al. (2015) ; Kim & Rush (2016) 2018)). In this paper, we extend its use to the style example-guided language generative model training task.

Style loss L ST Y LE helps ensure the output from the cross-style generation stream has the same style as the input reference. A pretrained style comparator C is used for computing the loss. The comparator takes two paragraphs as input and is trained to output 1 when the two paragraphs have the same style and 0 otherwise. We use D for pretraining C since it contains style labels for each document. We pretrain C using the binary cross entropy loss. The comparator C is highly accurate. It achieves a classification accuracy of 87.8% to 98.8% in our held-out validation sets. After pretaining, we fix C and use it to train F . The style loss L ST Y LE is then given by

EQUATION

where (p i , p k ) ∼ CS denotes the pair is sampled from the cross-style generation stream.

Here, we would like to make two remarks. First, since C takes the latent feature from F f as input, we avoid the non-differentiability of the text decoding mechanism and can directly train F f . Second, despite that C is pretrained using feature extracted from H f , we use the feature extracted from F f as input. We can perform this operation not only because these two features have the same dimension but also because we enforce them to have a similar distribution via optimizing the GAN loss, discussed below.

GAN loss L GAN is used to match the distributions of the features generated by F f and those generated by H f , respectively, as processing the cross-style generation stream. We use a latent GAN formulation where we train a GAN discriminator D to differentiate features extracted from F f to H f . The GAN loss is given by

EQUATION

We realize the discriminator D using a -based transformer network.

4.3. GENERATOR DESIGN:

We realize the style encoder F s using a GPT-2-based transformer identical to H f . After extracting a representation z t for each token t in s, we utilize a 3-layer position-wise fully-connected network to obtain the final style code z as illustrated in Fig. 2 . The text decoder F g is also a GPT-2-based transformer identical to H. We initialize the weights in F s and F g using the weights in the pretrained H. Next, we compare four different ways of injecting outputs from F s into F g , which represent different inductive biases and result in difference performances.

Model A: style code as a bias to the input. In this model, the style code z = F s (s) is directly summed up with the token-embedding and position embedding before inputting to the first transformer module in F g . In other words, the input to the first transformer module in F g is e w t + e p t + z where e w t denotes as the tth word embedding, and e p t denotes as the tth position embedding. Model B: style code as a summarization token. In this model, the computed style code z = F s (s) is treated as a special token that is inserted to the beginning of the input sequence and is directed fed in the first transformer module in F g . That is the input sequence length becomes T + 1. This design is motivated by the traditional sequence-to-sequence modeling techniques (Chung et al. (2014) Model C: style-aware self-attention. In this model, we input z into each self-attention layer in F g to influence its computation given by Sof tmax(

qmk T m-1 √ B

)v m-1 where q m = η m (z) which η m denotes an affine transformation, k m-1 and v m-1 denotes the key and value embeddings from the (m -1)th hidden layer, and B denotes the hidden dimension. 

EQUATION

where h a m,c,t denotes the cth hidden representation of the tth token at the mth transformer layer. We note a = {1, 2} since there are two layer normalization layers in each transformer in our implementation. The mean and deviation µ a m,t and σ a m,t are computed across the channel dimension. We illustrate how these models inject z to F g in Fig. 2 . In Section 5, we compare the performance of these variants and show that Model D achieves the best style generation performance.

5. EXPERIMENTS:

Implementation. We set the latent dimension B to 768, number of attention-heads to 16, number of transformer layers M to 16, number of tokens in a paragraph T to 512, and the vocabulary size V to 50257 using BPE-encoding (Sennrich et al. (2015) ) vocabulary from Radford et al. (2019) throughout out all the models and experiments. We use a pretrained GPT-2 model H and a style comparator C in our framework. The training details of these two models are given in Appendix B. All of the experiments are conducted using an NVIDIA DGX1 machine.

Datasets. We compare competing methods using two newly composed datasets based on (Zhu et al. (2015) ; Zellers et al. (2019) ; Santiago (2015); See et al. (2017) ).

3-Style.:

The dataset consists of documents from the RealNews dataset (Zellers et al. (2019) ), the BookCorpus dataset (Zhu et al. (2015) ), and the Reviews dataset (Yelp (2019) ; McAuley & Leskovec (2013) ; Maas et al. (2011) ; Dataworld (2017) ; Liu (2017) ). The 3 styles are news, book, and review. In detail, the news set has 33M documents and 113B words, the books set has 50K documents and 7.2B words, and the review set has 4.8M documents and 5.4B words after cleaning. The total dataset has 37.85M documents and 125.6B words. We hold out 3.78M documents as the validation set and 6K documents as the testing set.

21-Style.:

We build a dataset that contains 21 text styles. We first classify the documents in Real-News into 9 styles, including Sciences, Sport, Politics, Business, Technology, Entertainment, Opinion, Life, and News. Then, we divide the documents in BookCorpus into 8 different styles, which are Romance, Fantasy, Sciencefiction, Childrensbooks, Thriller, Adventure, Poetry, and Plays. We split the documents into multiple small documents by extracting the dialogues except for the Poetry and Plays. We divide the Review dataset into 3 styles, namely Yelp, Hotel, and Movie. Finally, we crawl 0.77M lyrics from http://www.azlyrics.com/. The total dataset has 35.5M documents. We hold out 3.55M documents as the validation set and 21K documents as the testing set.

Auto-evaluation metrics. We evaluate different models using fluency score, style score, style diversity score, and content novelty score. The fluency score measures whether the output paragraph reads like a human-written one. The style score checks whether the output text carries the target style. Our framework supports multimodal outputs (Huang et al. (2018) ). For the same input context but different reference examples of the same style, our framework should produce different output texts but all with the same style. To measure how different these outputs are, we use the style diversity score. Finally, the content novelty score is used to measure the difference between the output and the reference example. A model that directly duplicates the reference to the output is undesirable. The details of these automatic evaluation metrics are available in Appendix C.

Human study settings. We use the Amazon Mechanical Turk (AMT) platform for user studies. We conduct two studies where one evaluates fluency of the generated paragraphs while the other verifies the style correctness. For the fluency study, we present a human-written text and a machinegenerated text in random order and ask the worker to choose which one is written by a human. For this metric, the closer the preference score to 50%, the better the performance.

For the style study, we perform two tests. In one test, we present a worker a generated paragraph that supposes to be in the target style. We also give the worker two human-written reference paragraphs where one is with the target style while the other is not. We then ask the worker to choose which reference paragraph has a style more similar to the generated one. In the other test, we again present a worker a generated paragraph but this time with the style categorical labels to choose from instead of the reference paragraphs. We compute the frequency that the worker selects the right style. The higher the score, the better the performance. More details are in Appendix D.

Strong baselines. We compare our framework to three strong baselines, namely the general GPT-2 model (G-GPT-2), a baseline consists of multiple style-specialized GPT-2 models (S-GPT-2), and the style-code encoding (SC) method based on the description in Keskar et al. (2019) . G-GPT-2 is trained on the entire dataset using L LM . It does not allow style control but can generate fluent texts. In S-GPT-2, we train a GPT-2 model per style. As training a GPT-2 model is costly, we only use this baseline for the 3-Style dataset evaluation. In SC, an one-hot encoding of the style class label is used as a special token for style-controllable paragraph generation. Unlike the proposed method that extracts the style code from the input paragraph, SC input the style label. The rest of the model is similar to our Model B without the style encoder.

5.1. RESULTS:

In Fig. 3 , we plot the fluency and style scores achieved by our models as well as those by the baselines on the 3-Style and 21-Style datasets. The closer the model to the top-right corner, the more superior the model is. From the figure, we found that among our models, Model D performs the best. As expected, G-GPT-2 achieves the best fluency score. However, since it does not support style control, it has a poor style score. On the other hand, S-GPT-2 achieves good fluency and style scores for the 3-Style dataset. This is understandable as it utilizes a GPT-2 model for each style. However, such an approach does not scale well as GPT-2 training is expensive. We also found that SC does not achieve good style score and is inferior to our models. We suspect this is because the one-hot style class code is largely ignored during inference. Since Model D performs the best in our framework, for the rest of the paper, we use it as our representative model for performance comparison as well as ablation study.

In Tab. 1, we show several generation results from our Model D. We find that the output texts are fluent and respect the styles of the references. More output examples are available in Appendix E.

In Tab. 2, we show the style diversity scores achieved by our models. We found that all of our 4 models can generate diverse styled paragraphs conditioning on the same context and different reference examples with the same style.

Human evaluation. In Tab. 3, we report user study results on fluency and style control. We found that our model achieves great fluency on both of the datasets. Compared to SC, our model performs better in controlling the style in the output texts.

Ablation study. We conduct an ablation study on the loss terms in the proposed objective function and report the results in Tab. 4 using the 21-Style dataset. The results show that each term is important. Removing L DIST leads to a degraded content novelty score. Removing L ST Y LE leads to a degraded style score, thought an improved fluency score and a content novelty score. Removing L GAN leads to both degraded fluency and style diversity scores.

A HYPER-PARAMETERS TUNNING:

We tune the hyper-parameters on a pilot-test dataset. This pilot-test dataset has 3K training examples and 400 hold-out examples. We perform a grid search on log-scale. We utilize the Frechet Embedding Distance (Semeniuta et al. (2018) ) to select best hyper-parameters. For λ DIST , λ ST Y LE , and λ GAN , we try {1.0, 0.1, 0.1}, {0.1, 0.1, 0.1}, and {1.0, 0.01, 0.01}. For betas used in Adam Optimizer, we try {0.9, 0.999} and {0.0, 0.9}. For weight decay, we try 0.01 and 0.0. For the initial learning rate, we try 0.00025 and 0.000025. Eventually, we use 0.00025 as initial learning rate and {1.0, 0.01, 0.01} for λ DIST , λ ST Y LE , as well as λ GAN for all models except for the Model B. We use {1.0, 0.01, 0.1} for the Model B instead.

B PRETRAINING OF H AND C:

Pretraining of the GPT-2 model H. We pretrain H on our collected dataset D from scratch. We use Adam optimizer with 0.00015 initial learning rate, β 1 and β 2 are set by {0.9, 0.999}, cosine learning rate decay style, and 0.01 weight decay. The batch size is set to 512. The total training iterations is 320K which takes 2 weeks.

Pretraining of the style comparator C. We pretrain the Style Comparator C using 256 and 512 batch size, respectively. The initial learning rate is 0.00015 with 0.01 weight decay and cosine learning rate decay style. The optimizer is also Adam with β 1 = 0.9 and β 2 = 0.999. Since the training converges very quickly, we do early stopping if the accuracy on validation set plateaus. Eventually, we use the checkpoint at 28K and 50K iterations to train on the 3-style and 21-style datasets, respectively. The accuracy on hold-out validation set are 98.8% and 87.8% on 3-styles and 21-styles datasets, respectively.

C AUTO-EVALUATION METRICS:

Fluency score. To ensure the generated paragraph is fluent and coherent, we utilize a pretrained GPT-2 model to measure the perplexity of the generated paragraph. We compute the generation likelihood over each token using the model and treat the generated paragraph y 0:T -1 as inputs and y 1:T as labels. Given the input text, the pretrained GPT-2 returns the probability distribution of next token over the vocabulary. Then, we measure the perplexity by this probability distribution and label. Since our dictionary size is 50257, the random guess of the next token would result in 50257 perplexity (L LM = log(50257) ≈ 10.83). Thus, we set 10.83 as an upper bound and define the fluency score of the generated paragraph as 10.83 -log(perplexity). In this sense, a higher fluency score means lower perplexity.

Style score. We train 3/21 binary style classifiers (since we have 3/21 different styles in the 3-Style/21-Style dataset) by finetuning a GPT-2 network to automatically evaluate whether the generated text carries the style of a target class. These 3/21 classifiers achieve average classification accuracies of 99.1%/96.3%. During the testing phase, for a target style, if the corresponding style classifier correctly predicts 1 for the generated paragraph computed by a model, we count it as a successful trial. We compute the success rate over the test set and use the result as the style score for the model.

Style diversity score. We adopt the LPIPS distance (Zhang et al. (2018) ) to measure the diversity of the generation outputs conditioning on the same context. To implement this metric, we first extract the feature representation from each token in a generated paragraph by a pretrained GPT-2 model. We compute the mean representation of the tokens in a paragraph as the paragraph-level representation. Then, we measure the L 2 distance between two paragraph-level representations of two different paragraphs generated using the same context but two different references written in the same style. In this sense, a larger distance value implies the styles of the two generated paragraphs are more different.

To get an idea of the range of this metric, we compute an upper bound and a lower bound. We consider two paragraphs from two documents of different styles should have a high style diversity score. We hence sample 1000 paragraphs from each style and use the pretrained GPT-2 model to extract deep features. After taking average over the token-dimension, we obtain 1000 by 768 representation for each style. Then, we compute the L 2 distance between of these matrices divided by 1000. This gives us a matrix of size 21 × 21 measuring the pairwise distance between two styles. We use the largest value in this matrix as our upper bound, which is 15.67.

For the lower bound, since two different paragraphs from the same document should have a low style diversity score, we use their scores for the lower bound computation. Specifically, we compute the average distance between two different paragraphs from the same document. We do this for each style and obtain 21 different values. We obtain the lower bound by taking average over these values, which is 4.52.

Content novelty score. To verify that our model is not simply duplicating the content from reference paragraph, we utilize LPIPS distance (Zhang et al. (2018) ) to measure the difference between the generated paragraph and the input reference paragraph. We again use a pretrained GPT-2 model for extracting a feature representation for each token. To compute the distance between two paragraphs, we compute the bipartite matching cost between the tokens from the two paragraphs. Specifically, we first compute the L2 distances between any token representation in one paragraph to all the token representations in the other paragraph. We then compute the minimum cost assignment by solving a bipartite matching problem. In order to get an idea about the range of the content novelty score, we compute an upper bound and a lower bound using a similar approach as the one used for the style diversity score. We find the upper bound value is 31.46 and the lower bound value is 15.13.

Trailer was better than the movie. To me this movie just never takes off. It's a shame because there is some fantastic imagery and a wonderful theme lying underneath but in the end it can not overcome its plot holes and failed delivery of the message its trying to speak. It truly believes it's deeper than it is, but left me unfulfilled. Kind of lazy/rushed writing in my opinion. Kind of just throws a bunch of mediocre stuff at you without any real substance and expects the audience to give it purpose and deeper meaning in there own heads. Which is fine to do but to me this movie wasn't worthy of that merit of thought. You keep waiting for it to evolve but it just never does. Honestly can't believe critics are putting this on such a pedestal giving it such rave reviews.

Because CNN 10 just isn't accurate and does no justice. Instead, it conveys the film far too much to it's due and serves to give it more credibility. It's light sci-fi instead of enough fuel for actors helping to bring this premium piece down to its current disgustingnessespecially not because that story is so good and necessary but because we live in a world where people like that can succeed.

Trump has pledged to publish an un-redacted and declassified transcript on Wednesday of a phone call with Ukraine's leader at the center of what Democrats allege is his abuse of presidential power. The White House is also planning to release to Congress a whistleblower's complaint that triggered the week-long crisis that has rocked the Trump presidency.

Trump's decision marks a departure for a White House that has a record of obstructing oversight and bending fact. So his critics will await events on Wednesday with particular interest. The transcript and the congressional reaction to the whistleblower's report could be critical in establishing the early terrain of the impeachment fight and to shaping public opinion that will ultimately dictate how it turns out. Regardless of the outcome, Trump finds himself at the center of a rare and historic showdown as only the fourth president in US history to face the realistic threat of impeachment.

of using the output text from F o as the discriminator input, we feed the latent representation computed by F f to the discriminator. For real text, we use a pretrained trained GPT-2 model H.

Peer review (iclr2020):
The paper presents a (to the best of my knowledge) new task and models to generate plausible completions of a given paragraph condition on a reference text that has a different “style” from the input. The proposed model is comprised of a transformer language model trained with multiple objectives including an LM completion objective where the reference text has the same style distribution as the input, a cross stream where the reference text has a different style and the generated LM completion is forced to have the style of the reference text as determined by a pre-trained classifier. Two additional objectives - a distillation objective to match the output distributions of the transformer LM and a pre-trained GPT model and a GAN objective to their feature distributions is used as well (since the pre-trained classifier operates in the space of pre-trained GPT hidden representations). I think the paper tackles the interesting problem of example guided text style transfer that hasn’t been studied much and presents a complicated solution to the problem. However, I don’t think the paper is ready for publication in its current state because 1) The writing needs to be significantly improved to include high level textual descriptions and intuitions for each training objective - this is particularly benefit readers new to this class of problems 2) The paper needs much simpler baselines especially since the tasks and datasets presented are new. Each presented model has several moving parts - a GAN, pre-trained GPT and the different style token conditioning strategies. 3) Samples from the model (presented in the Appendix) appear quite poor and I’m not convinced that the model really works right now. I have a few comments and questions 1) Distillation loss - you say this loss is trained by “minimizing the mutual information between F and H” don’t you want to maximize the MI? Also the formulation written in L_{dist} is equivalent to minimizing cross-entropy between H and F. 2) The paper would really benefit from a baseline where instead of an example from a target serves as reference, just it’s style category is used. This would be turning the problem into the more common formulation of text style transfer. 3) Did you consider having a back-translation objective instead of a complicated style-classifier and GAN loss? This has shown to be much easier to optimize and learn see Prabhumoye et al [1] and Subramanian et al [2]. 4) You report pre-trained accuracies of C when trained on H_{f}, what about during training? Does it correlate to progress in GAN training? 5) If the goal of using a GAN objective is just to match the distributions of H_{f} and F_{f}, then why train it only on cross samples? Why not also on reconstruction samples? 6) How does the style decoder F_{s} deal with variable lengths of p_{k}? Is the length of p_{k} truncated to a fixed length? 7) Do human evaluators also know the target style type that the model is supposed to emulate?
