Constrained Language Models for Interactive Poem Generation

Andrei Popescu-Belis, Gabriel Luthier, Alejandro Ramírez Atrio, Aris Xanthos, Simon Mattei

This paper describes a system for interactive poem generation, which combines neural language models (LMs) for poem generation with explicit constraints that can be set by users on form, topic, emotion, and rhyming scheme. LMs cannot learn such constraints ...

Subword Mapping and Anchoring across Languages

Andrei Popescu-Belis

State-of-the-art multilingual systems rely on shared vocabularies that sufficiently cover all considered languages. To this end, a simple and frequently used approach makes use of subword vocabularies constructed jointly over several languages. We hypothes ...
