  1. A Well-Composed Text is Half Done! Composition Sampling for Diverse Conditional Generation

    2022 · arXiv (Cornell University)

    We propose Composition Sampling, a simple but effective method to generate diverse outputs for conditional generation of higher quality compared to previous stochastic decoding strategies. It builds on recently proposed plan-based neural generation models (Narayan …

  2. BoolQ: Exploring the Surprising Difficulty of Natural Yes/No Questions

    2019 · arXiv (Cornell University)

    In this paper we study yes/no questions that are naturally occurring --- meaning that they are generated in unprompted and unconstrained settings. We build a reading comprehension dataset, BoolQ, of such questions, and show that …
