A Comparative Study of Controlled Text Generation Systems Using Level-Playing-Field Evaluation Principles

ArXi:2605.12395v1 Announce Type: new Background: Many different approaches to controlled text generation (CTG) have been proposed over recent years, but it is difficult to get a clear picture of which approach performs best, because different datasets and evaluation methods are used in each case to assess the control achieved. Objectives: Our aim in the work reported in this paper is to develop an approach to evaluation that enables us to comparatively evaluate different CTG systems in a manner that is both informative and fair to the individual systems.
