    • ABSTRACT: Prior work on controllable text generation usually assumes that the controlled attribute can take on one of a small set of values known a priori. In this work, we propose a novel task, where the syntax of a generated sentence is controlled rather by a sentential exemplar. To evaluate quantitatively with standard metrics, we create a novel dataset with human annotations. We also develop a variational model with a neural module specifically designed for capturing syntactic knowledge and several multitask training objectives to promote disentangled representation learning. Empirically, the proposed model is observed to achieve improvements over baselines and learn to capture desirable characteristics.
    • QUOTE: ... Controllable text generation has recently become an area of intense focus in the natural language processing (NLP) community. Recent work has focused both on generating text satisfying certain stylistic requirements such as being formal or exhibiting a particular sentiment (Hu et al., 2017; Shen et al., 2017; Ficler and Goldberg, 2017), as well as on generating text meeting structural requirements, such as conforming to a particular template (Iyyer et al., 2018;Wiseman et al., 2018). ...

X: we need to further strengthen the agency’s capacities.
Y: the damage in this area seems to be quite minimal.
Z: the capacity of this office needs to be reinforced even further.
