[ACL2023] NeuroStructural Decoding: Neural Text Generation with Structural Constraints

What is NeuroStructural Decoding?

A neural text generation algorithm that leverages structural constraints for decoding.

This is the official page for the paper: NEUROSTRUCTURAL DECODING: Neural Text Generation with Structural Constraints accepted at ACL2023.

NEUROSTRUCTURAL DECODING is a new decoding algorithm that incorporates syntactic constraints to improve the quality of the generated text. We build NEUROSTRUCTURAL DECODING on the NeuroLogic Decoding (Lu et al., 2021) algorithm, which enables language generation models to produce fluent text while satisfying complex lexical constraints. It tracks lexico-syntactic constraints during decoding by parsing the partial generations at each step.

Example

In the following example we see an example that compares the output produced by Neurologic Decoding with lexical constraints alone vs. the output generated by NEUROSTRUCTURAL DECODING with lexico-syntactic constraints.

neurostructuraldecoding's Issues

Can I get a code for this work?

Hello, I'm a student in graduate school,
We have a seminar regularly
I presented your paper last month.
And I am interested in NLP and fusing this work into other domains these day
So, I wanna use this work's code.
Could I get that?

Thanks.
