Rhetoric-Controllable Chinese Classical Poetry Generation
Chinese classical poetry is a kind of literary art with concise language and rich semantics.Its creation in-volve many aspects,among which rhetoric is one of the most noticeable features.Poets usually use rhetoric to en-hance the poem's appeal and expressiveness.This paper aims to build a poetry generation model with the ability of rhetorical creation to improve the diversity,interest,and novelty of generated poems,thus increasing the aesthetic experience of readers in the reading process.To this end,a data set of rhetoric poems is firstly constructed by manu-al annotation,feature extraction,and a BERT-based rhetoric classifier.Then,each poem is serialized into a se-quence,and the poetry generation model is trained as a language model on this sequence.The automatic and manual evaluation results show that the model can generate poems with specific rhetoric,and the quality of the generated poems is significantly improved compared to the baseline.
