MixingBoard: a Knowledgeable Stylized Integrated Text Generation Platform
Xiang Gao, Michel Galley, Bill Dolan · 2020
We present MIXINGBOARD, a platform for quickly building demos with a focus on knowledge grounded stylized text generation.We unify existing text generation algorithms in a shared codebase and further adapt earlier algorithms for constrained generation.To borrow advantages from different models, we implement strategies for cross-model integration, from the token probability level to the latent space level.An interface to external knowledge is provided via a module that retrieves onthe-fly relevant knowledge from passages on the web or any document collection.A user interface for local development, remote webpage access, and a RESTful API are provided to make it simple for users to build their own demos 1 .
