Mix and Match: Learning-free Controllable Text Generation using Energy Language Models

Due to the unidirectional nature of prevalent autoregressive generation models, recent work on controlled generation based on global text attributes has either required attribute-based fine-tuning of the base language model or restricted the parametrization of the attribute prediction model to be compatible with the base LM. In this work, we propose Mix and Match LM, a global score-based alternative for controllable text generation that combines arbitrary pretrained black box models for achieving the desired attributes in the generated text without involving any fine-tuning or structural assumptions about the black box models. We interpret the task of controllable generation as drawing samples from an energy-based model whose energy values are a linear combination of scores from black box models that are separately responsible for fluency, the control attribute, and faithfulness to any conditioning context. We use a Metropolis-Hastings sampling scheme to sample from this energy-based model using bidirectional context and global attribute features. We validate the effectiveness of our approach on various controlled generation and style-based text revision tasks by outperforming recently proposed methods that involve extra training, fine-tuning, or restrictive assumptions over the form of models.
