mFLAG

mFLAG is a sequence-to-sequence model for multi-figurative language generation. It was introduced in the paper Multi-Figurative Language Generation paper by Huiyuan Lai and Malvina Nissim.

Model description

mFLAG is a sequence-to-sequence model for multi-figurative language generation. It is trained by employing a scheme for multi-figurative language pre-training on top of BART, and a mechanism for injecting the target figurative information into the encoder; this enables the generation of text with the target figurative form from another figurative form without parallel figurative-figurative sentence pairs.

How to use

git clone git@github.com:laihuiyuan/mFLAG.git
cd mFLAG

from model import MultiFigurativeGeneration
from tokenization_mflag import MFlagTokenizerFast
tokenizer = MFlagTokenizerFast.from_pretrained('laihuiyuan/mFLAG')
model = MultiFigurativeGeneration.from_pretrained('laihuiyuan/mFLAG')

# hyperbole to sarcasm
inp_ids = tokenizer.encode("<hyperbole> I am not happy that he urged me to finish all the hardest tasks in the world", return_tensors="pt")
fig_ids = tokenizer.encode("<sarcasm>", add_special_tokens=False, return_tensors="pt")
outs = model.generate(input_ids=inp_ids[:, 1:], fig_ids=fig_ids, forced_bos_token_id=fig_ids.item(), num_beams=5, max_length=60,)
text = tokenizer.decode(outs[0, 2:].tolist(), skip_special_tokens=True, clean_up_tokenization_spaces=False)
