The exponential growth of academic literature creates urgent demands for comprehensive survey papers, yet manual writing remains time-consuming and labor-intensive. Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) facilitate studies in synthesizing survey papers from multiple references, but most existing works restrict users to title-only inputs and fixed outputs, neglecting the personalized process of survey paper writing. In this paper, we introduce InteractiveSurvey - an LLM-based personalized and interactive survey paper generation system. InteractiveSurvey can generate structured, multi-modal survey papers with reference categorizations from multiple reference papers through both online retrieval and user uploads. More importantly, users can customize and refine intermediate components continuously during generation, including reference categorization, outline, and survey content through an intuitive interface. Evaluations of content quality, time efficiency, and user studies show that InteractiveSurvey is an easy-to-use survey generation system that outperforms most LLMs and existing methods in output content quality while remaining highly time-efficient.
Poetry generation has been a challenging task in the field of Natural Language Processing, as it requires the model to understand the nuances of language, sentiment, and style. In this paper, we propose using Large Language Models to generate Vietnamese poems of various genres from natural language prompts, thereby facilitating an intuitive process with enhanced content control. Our most efficacious model, the GPT-3 Babbage variant, achieves a custom evaluation score of 0.8, specifically tailored to the "luc bat" genre of Vietnamese poetry. Furthermore, we also explore the idea of paraphrasing poems into normal text prompts and yield a relatively high score of 0.781 in the "luc bat" genre. This experiment presents the potential for cross-Language poem-to-poem translation with translated poems as the inputs while concurrently maintaining complete control over the generated content.
To reduce the repetitive and complex work of instructors, exam paper generation (EPG) technique has become a salient topic in the intelligent education field, which targets at generating high-quality exam paper automatically according to instructor-specified assessment criteria. The current advances utilize the ability of heuristic algorithms to optimize several well-known objective constraints, such as difficulty degree, number of questions, etc., for producing optimal solutions. However, in real scenarios, considering other equally relevant objectives (e.g., distribution of exam scores, skill coverage) is extremely important. Besides, how to develop an automatic multi-objective solution that finds an optimal subset of questions from a huge search space of large-sized question datasets and thus composes a high-quality exam paper is urgent but non-trivial. To this end, we skillfully design a reinforcement learning guided Multi-Objective Exam Paper Generation framework, termed MOEPG, to simultaneously optimize three exam domain-specific objectives including difficulty degree, distribution of exam scores, and skill coverage. Specifically, to accurately measure the skill proficiency of the examinee group, we first employ deep knowledge tracing to model the interaction information between examinees and response logs. We then design the flexible Exam Q-Network, a function approximator, which automatically selects the appropriate question to update the exam paper composition process. Later, MOEPG divides the decision space into multiple subspaces to better guide the updated direction of the exam paper. Through extensive experiments on two real-world datasets, we demonstrate that MOEPG is feasible in addressing the multiple dilemmas of exam paper generation scenario.
In this work, we tackle the problem of structured text generation, specifically academic paper generation in $\LaTeX{}$, inspired by the surprisingly good results of basic character-level language models. Our motivation is using more recent and advanced methods of language modeling on a more complex dataset of $\LaTeX{}$ source files to generate realistic academic papers. Our first contribution is preparing a dataset with $\LaTeX{}$ source files on recent open-source computer vision papers. Our second contribution is experimenting with recent methods of language modeling and text generation such as Transformer and Transformer-XL to generate consistent $\LaTeX{}$ code. We report cross-entropy and bits-per-character (BPC) results of the trained models, and we also discuss interesting points on some examples of the generated $\LaTeX{}$ code.
We present a PaperRobot who performs as an automatic research assistant by (1) conducting deep understanding of a large collection of human-written papers in a target domain and constructing comprehensive background knowledge graphs (KGs); (2) creating new ideas by predicting links from the background KGs, by combining graph attention and contextual text attention; (3) incrementally writing some key elements of a new paper based on memory-attention networks: from the input title along with predicted related entities to generate a paper abstract, from the abstract to generate conclusion and future work, and finally from future work to generate a title for a follow-on paper. Turing Tests, where a biomedical domain expert is asked to compare a system output and a human-authored string, show PaperRobot generated abstracts, conclusion and future work sections, and new titles are chosen over human-written ones up to 30%, 24% and 12% of the time, respectively.
We present a paper abstract writing system based on an attentive neural sequence-to-sequence model that can take a title as input and automatically generate an abstract. We design a novel Writing-editing Network that can attend to both the title and the previously generated abstract drafts and then iteratively revise and polish the abstract. With two series of Turing tests, where the human judges are asked to distinguish the system-generated abstracts from human-written ones, our system passes Turing tests by junior domain experts at a rate up to 30% and by non-expert at a rate up to 80%.
