Towards Faithful Neural Table-to-Text Generation with Content-Matching Constraints
Text generation from a knowledge base aims to translate knowledge triples to
natural language descriptions. Most existing methods ignore the faithfulness
between a generated text description and the original table, leading to
generated information that goes beyond the content of the table. In this paper,
for the first time, we propose a novel Transformer-based generation framework
to achieve the goal. The core techniques in our method to enforce faithfulness
include a new table-text optimal-transport matching loss and a table-text
embedding similarity loss based on the Transformer model. Furthermore, to
evaluate faithfulness, we propose a new automatic metric specialized to the
table-to-text generation problem. We also provide detailed analysis on each
component of our model in our experiments. Automatic and human evaluations show
that our framework can significantly outperform state-of-the-art by a large
margin.Comment: Accepted at ACL202
Analytical theory of dark nonlocal solitons
We investigate properties of dark solitons in nonlocal materials with an
arbitrary degree of nonlocality. We employ the variational technique and
describe the dark solitons, for the first time, in the whole range of degree of
nonlocality.Comment: to be published in Optics Letter
