before_revision: Text style transfer (TST) is an important task in natural language generation (NLG), which aims to control certain attributes in the generated text, such as politeness, emotion, humor, and many others. It has a long history in the field of natural language processing (NLP), but recently it has gained significant attention thanks to the promising performance brought by deep learning models. In this paper, we present a systematic survey of the research done on neural text style transfer . We have collected, summarized, and discussed nearly 70 representative articles since the first neural text style transfer work in 2017. Overall, we have covered the task formulation, existing datasets and subtasks, evaluation metrics, and methods on parallel and non-parallel data. We also provide discussions  a variety of important topics regarding TST, which can shed light on new development in this field . Our curated paper list is at URL
after_revision: Text style transfer (TST) is an important task in natural language generation (NLG), which aims to control certain attributes in the generated text, such as politeness, emotion, humor, and many others. It has a long history in the field of natural language processing (NLP), and recently has re-gained significant attention thanks to the promising performance brought by deep neural models. In this paper, we present a systematic survey of the research on neural text style transfer , spanning over 100 representative articles since the first neural text style transfer work in 2017. We discuss the task formulation, existing datasets and subtasks, evaluation , as well as the rich methodologies in the presence of parallel and non-parallel data. We also provide discussions on a variety of important topics regarding the future development of TST . Our curated paper list is at URL
