| Among natural language generation tasks, an interesting niche is poetry, including song lyrics of various genres. Poetry, especially when set to music, has relatively strong formal constraints beyond fluency: a verse structure, rhythm, and rhyme on the lower level, and a structure of repetition at a higher level of description. At the same time it can be closer to spoken than written language in lexical choices and tolerance of grammatical irregularities. These factors make poetry perhaps difficult to generate, but at the same time if the constraints on form are observed, there is considerable leeway in terms of content.
The goal of this thesis is to explore generating popular song lyrics of various genres with focus on form. An equally significant part of the thesis is designing adequate automated evaluation methods. While the golden standard of analysis remains human evaluation, it is not feasible to conduct a survey every time the generation system changes during development -- automated methods are therefore necessary. Poetic form, which can be objectively measured, can play an important role in automated evaluation as well. |
