title = "RAST: A Reward Augmented Model for Fine-Grained Sentiment Transfer",
abstract = "In this paper, we propose a novel model RAST (Reward Augmented Sentiment Transfer) for fine-grained sentiment transfer. Existing methods usually suffer from two major drawbacks, i.e., blurre d sentiment distinction and unsatisfactory content preservation. Considering the above issues, we design two kinds of rewards to better control sentiment and content. Specially, we develop a pairwise comparative discriminator that enforces to generate sentences with clear distinctions for different sentiment intensities. Moreover, we utilize an effective sampling strategy to obtain pseudo-parallel sentences with minor changes on the input sentence to enhance content preservation. Experiments on a benchmark dataset show that the proposed model outperforms several competitive approaches.",
