Abstract

Embodiments described herein provide dynamic blocking, a decoding algorithm which enables large-scale pretrained language models to generate high-quality paraphrases in an un-supervised setting. Specifically, in order to obtain an alternative surface form, when the language model emits a token that is present in the source sequence, the language model is prevented from generating the next token that is the same as the subsequent source token in the source sequence at the next time step. In this way, the language model is forced to generate a paraphrased sequence of the input source sequence, but with mostly different wording.
