Usecases for Styleformer
Area 1: Data Augmentation
- Augment training datasets with various fine-grained language styles.
Area 2: Post-processing
- Apply style transfers to machine generated text.
- e.g.
- Refine a Summarised text to active voice + formal tone.
- Refine a Translated text to more casual tone to reach younger audience.
Area 3: Controlled paraphrasing
- Formal <=> Casual and Active <=> style transfers adds a notion of control over how we paraphrase when compared to free-form paraphrase where there is control or guarantee over the paraphrases.
Area 4: Assisted writing
- Integrate this to any human writing interfaces like email clients, messaging tools or social media post authoring tools. Your creativity is your limit to te uses.
- e.g.
- Polish an email with business tone for professional uses.
