"text": "Automatic lyrics generation is a challenging language generation task for any musical genre, requiring story development and creativity while adhering to the structural constraints of song lyrics. Here we focus on the generation of rap lyrics, which poses three additional challenges specific to the rap genre: (i) a verse in rap lyrics often comprises multiple rhyme structures which may change throughout a verse (Bradley, 2017) , (ii) the number of words in a typical rap verse is significantly larger when compared to other music genres (Mayer et al., 2008) , requiring modeling of long-term dependencies, and (iii) the presence of many slang words. 1 We created a song with lyrics generated by RAPFORMER using the abstract of this paper as input, available in the supplementary material, and at https://bit.ly/3kXGItD. mazzy was on board a southwest airlines flight over the us when the entire airplane sang her happy birthday and brought her to tears of joy . teflon's on the rise, i despise propaganda camouflage mac-11, i should set an example never baptized, as i walk through the fires the pain and the flame never match my desires despise the propaganda rise, higher mac-11 camouflage for example, that's why i never set fires i walk with a flame that never match my desires take a pic, cause the pain is higher",

"text": "Prior approaches to rap generation typically use unconditional generation (Potash et al., 2015; Malmi et al., 2016) . That approach synthesizes lyrics without providing any context that could be useful to guide the narrative development into a coherent direction (Dathathri et al., 2020) . For example, generating rap lyrics on a specific topic, e.g., \"cooking,\" is not possible with unconditional generation. Motivated by this, in this paper, we propose a novel approach for conditional generation of rap verses, where the generator is provided a source text and tasked with transferring the style of the text into rap lyrics. Compared to unconditional generation, this task can support the human creative process more effectively as it allows a human writer to engage with the generator by providing the content of the lyrics while receiving automatic suggestions on how to improve the style of the lyrics to resemble the rap domain.",

"text": "Prior work on rap lyrics generation often focuses on unconditional generation, either using language models (Potash et al., 2015) or by stitching together lines from existing rap lyrics using information retrieval methods (Malmi et al., 2016) . There are two main drawbacks of unconditional generation of rap lyrics. First, the open-ended nature of the task is too unconstrained for generating lyrics with more specific content: ideally, we may want to have control over at least some aspects of the model during inference, such as the topic of the lyrics, or their sentiment. Second, although frequent rhyming is an essential feature of fluent rap verses (Malmi et al., 2016) , language models have no built-in incentive to learn to consistently generate rhymes at the end of each line, prompting researchers to invent techniques to promote rhyming in their models separately (Hopkins and Kiela, 2017) .",

"text": "More recently, Manjavacas et al. (2019) propose a conditional approach to rap lyrics generation, which extracts high-level features from the lyrics, such as their sentiment, mood, or tense, to provide a template during generation. Although their approach allows for some control during generation, it is limited in terms of generating lyrics with more specific content. The work that is closest to ours is who propose an approach to sentence style transfer based on text denoising, and test their approach on style transfer from pop to rap lyrics. In contrast to these works, we condition the model on longer input text and also introduce a novel method for enhancing the rhymes of our output verses. We also perform extensive automatic and human evaluations on style transfer from diverse input domains to rap lyrics.",

The main difference between such studies and our work is that our setting is more lenient with respect to meaning preservation: our focus here is on generating creative and fluent verses that match the overall topic of the input and also preserve some of the content. Our conditional lyrics generation based on denoising autoencoders is also related to recent work on self-supervised pre-training objectives for text-to-text generation tasks, which have been beneficial for many NLP tasks, such as automatic text summarization (Zhang et al., 2020) , question answering (Lewis et al., 2020; Raffel et al., 2019) , and data-to-text generation (Freitag and Roy, 2018) .",

For news/movie inputs, the models are still capable of integrating the input content words into a rhyming verse that preserves some of the overall meaning of the original text (e.g., \"the film also follows the adventures of lucius the slave escaping via the underground railroad to freedom\" \u2192 \"slave, run from lucius slavery; battle of freedom and liberty\").",
