Text Generation for the Humanities
Prof. Dr. (i.V.) Steffen Eger, Bielefeld University
7 September 2022

In this talk, I will discuss our current work in the context of deep learning based text generation for the humanities. In particular, I will talk about (i) style-conditioned poetry generation, (ii) abstract-to-title generation (considering humorousness as one generation criterion), and (iii) cross-lingual cross-temporal summarization where the goal is to summarize a historical document in another modern language. Time permitting, I will also talk about evaluation metrics for text generation systems.
