Google Research introduces LASERTAGGER, a text editing framework that redefines text generation tasks as sequence tagging problems by predicting edit operations on input text. This approach achieves competitive performance while offering significant improvements in data efficiency, outperforming seq2seq models in low-resource settings, and demonstrating a 10-100x speedup in inference time.
Key insights
- Many text generation tasks exhibit high lexical overlap between input and output, making them suitable for an editing paradigm rather than generation from scratch.
- Reframing text generation as a sequence tagging problem, with a constrained vocabulary of explicit edit operations, enhances data efficiency, inference speed, and controllability.
- A relatively small, frequency-derived phrase vocabulary can capture most necessary text transformations, improving model efficiency and reducing hallucination.
