RT-SFT: Text Style Transfer from Non-Parallel Corpora by Roundtrip Translation

RT‑SFT is a method for text style transfer that uses roundtrip translation through a pivot language to strip stylistic information from monolingual corpora, creating pseudo‑parallel data. This data is then used to LoRA‑finetune an instruction‑tuned large language model as a stylizer, allowing the model to rewrite sentences in a target style while preserving meaning. Experiments across four style domains show that RT‑SFT surpasses state‑of‑the‑art approaches, including few‑shot in‑context learning, and offers effective retrieval augmentation for expert style domains with strict terminology.

Rewrite to Translate, Translate to Reward: Reinforcement Learning for Source Rewriting in Machine Translation

arXiv:2606. 08011v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Although directly prompting off-the-shelf Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate meaning-preserving source rewrites can effectively enhance Machine Translation (MT) quality, doing so requires manually tuning prompts for different MT models.

Target-Side Paraphrase Augmentation for Sign Language Translation with Large Language Models

arXiv:2605. 31393v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Sign language translation (SLT) remains constrained by the limited availability of paired sign-video/text corpora and by the heavy-tailed vocabularies typical of real-world datasets.

SCOPE: A Generative Approach for LLM Prompt Compression

SCOPE is a training‑free generative prompt‑compression framework that reduces LLM input length by chunking a prompt into semantically coherent segments, rewriting each chunk to be more concise, and then reconstructing a coherent prompt. Unlike token‑removal methods, SCOPE’s chunk‑level rewriting preserves critical information and text coherence, and includes optimization techniques for finer‑grained control of compression ratios. Extensive evaluations on question‑answering and summarization tasks show that SCOPE consistently outperforms selective compression baselines, especially at high compression ratios.

How Can We Synthesize High-Quality Pretraining Data? A Systematic Study of Prompt Design, Generator Model, and Source Data

arXiv:2604. 13977v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Synthetic data is a standard component in training large language models, yet systematic comparisons across design dimensions, including rephrasing strategy, generator model, and source data, remain absent.
