RISE: Leveraging Retrieval Techniques for Summarization Evaluation

David Uthus, Jianmo Ni

Evaluating automatically-generated text summaries is a challenging task. While there have been many interesting approaches, they still fall short of human evaluations. We present R…

LongT5: Efficient Text-To-Text Transformer for Long Sequences

Mandy Guo, Joshua Ainslie, David Uthus +4

Recent work has shown that either (1) increasing the input length or (2) increasing model size can improve the performance of Transformer-based neural models. In this paper, we pre…

TextSETTR: Few-Shot Text Style Extraction and Tunable Targeted Restyling

Parker Riley, Noah Constant, Mandy Guo +3

We present a novel approach to the problem of text style transfer. Unlike previous approaches requiring style-labeled training data, our method makes use of readily-available unlab…
