> Talk Abstract: Most current text generation applications in NLP use fully autoregressive modelling, a notable example of this being the models in the GPT series. However, most original content (e.g. art, books, articles, source code) is developed not in a single iteration, but in many iterations with each more refined than the last. In other words, revising and editing are a central part of the human creative workflow. Given this, in this talk I will talk about ideas for trying to bridge this disconnect by incorporating text editing into standard natural language processing as well as my work associated with various aspects of editing.
