Partially-Aligned Data-to-Text Generation with Distant Supervision

[PDF] [Video] [Slides]

This is the code for the EMNLP 2020 paper "Partially-Aligned Data-to-Text Generation with Distant Supervision". Traditional text generation task requires well-aligned data which is expensive to annotate. We relax the strict restrictions and propose this new task aiming at utilizing automatically made partially-aligned data. This method considerably expands the application domains where only automatically partially-aligned data is available.
