Amazon patents system for generating text in specific styles
This patent describes a method for training a computer program to write responses in various chosen styles. It works by using a shared encoder to understand the input and multiple specialized decoders, each tuned to produce text with different stylistic traits. When a user asks a question, the system picks the right decoder to match the desired tone.
In the filing’s own words
Techniques for training a stylistic response generator and/or using a stylistic response generator are described. In some examples, the stylistic response generator is trained by receiving a request to train a stylistic response generator, the request to include an indication of a plurality of styles to use to train the stylistic response generator and then training the stylistic response generator to generate responses according to the plurality of styles.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving a request to train a stylistic response generator; training the stylistic response generator by: training an encoder and multiple decoders of the stylistic response generator to learn to predict responses, the multiple decoders of the stylistic response generator having different adapter weights, training the different adapter weights of the decoders of the stylistic response generator to learn stylistic properties based on a language model objective, and training the decoders using the different adapter weights and the encoder of the stylistic response generator to learn to predict responses; and using the trained stylistic response generator to generate a stylistic response in response to a query by: receiving, by the trained stylistic response generator, context information; encoding, by the encoder of the stylistic response generator, the context information to generate encoded context; providing the encoded context to a decoder selector of the stylistic response generator; determining, by the decoder selector, which of the decoders to use to predict the stylistic response based on a style; and sending the encoded context to a selected one of the decoders.
