A major barrier to progress in this field\nhas been a lack of training and evaluation datasets, as well as benchmarks and\nautomatic metrics. In this work, we create the largest corpus for a particular\nstylistic transfer (formality) and show that techniques from the machine\ntranslation community can serve as strong baselines for future work. We also\ndiscuss challenges of using automatic metrics.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1803.06535v2","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1803.06535v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"dear-sir-or-madam-may-i-introduce-the-gyafc","repo_url":"https://github.com/raosudha89/GYAFC-corpus","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":{"status":"ok"}}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"formality-style-transfer","task_name":"Formality Style Transfer"},{"task_slug":"machine-translation","task_name":"Machine Translation"},{"task_slug":"style-transfer","task_name":"Style Transfer"},{"task_slug":"translation","task_name":"Translation"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[{"slug":"gyafc","name":"GYAFC","full_name":"Grammarly’s Yahoo Answers Formality Corpus"}],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":"https://syntology.ai/paper/1803.06535","atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1803.06535","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
