Evaluating prose style transfer with the Bible

Understand

In the prose style transfer task a system, provided with text input and a target prose style, produces output which preserves the meaning of the input text but alters the style.

• These systems require parallel data for evaluation of results and usually make use of parallel data for training.
• Currently, there are few publicly available corpora for this task.
• In this work, we identify a high-quality source of aligned, stylistically distinct text in different versions of the Bible.
