In this work, we design an end-to-end model for poetry generation based on conditioned recurrent neural network (RNN) language models whose goal is to learn stylistic features (poem length, sentiment, alliteration, and rhyming) from examples alone. W
e show this model successfully learns the meaning' of length and sentiment, as we can control it to generate longer or shorter as well as more positive or more negative poems. However, the model does not grasp sound phenomena like alliteration and rhyming, but instead exploits low-level statistical cues. Possible reasons include the size of the training data, the relatively low frequency and difficulty of these sublexical phenomena as well as model biases. We show that more recent GPT-2 models also have problems learning sublexical phenomena such as rhyming from examples alone.
Despite constant improvements in machine translation quality, automatic poetry translation remains a challenging problem due to the lack of open-sourced parallel poetic corpora, and to the intrinsic complexities involved in preserving the semantics,
style and figurative nature of poetry. We present an empirical investigation for poetry translation along several dimensions: 1) size and style of training data (poetic vs. non-poetic), including a zero-shot setup; 2) bilingual vs. multilingual learning; and 3) language-family-specific models vs. mixed-language-family models. To accomplish this, we contribute a parallel dataset of poetry translations for several language pairs. Our results show that multilingual fine-tuning on poetic text significantly outperforms multilingual fine-tuning on non-poetic text that is 35X larger in size, both in terms of automatic metrics (BLEU, BERTScore, COMET) and human evaluation metrics such as faithfulness (meaning and poetic style). Moreover, multilingual fine-tuning on poetic data outperforms bilingual fine-tuning on poetic data.
This paper proposes a generative language model called AfriKI. Our approach is based on an LSTM architecture trained on a small corpus of contemporary fiction. With the aim of promoting human creativity, we use the model as an authoring tool to explore machine-in-the-loop Afrikaans poetry generation. To our knowledge, this is the first study to attempt creative text generation in Afrikaans.
The poetic consciousness of the pre-Islamic period is full of various images of the "hero"
whose heroship exceeds the idea of chivalry further up to an extensive richness denoted by
the the lexicon of "heroicism", as well as by the poetic capturing
of the heroic acts. Thus, a
heroic poetry has emerged to be an example followed by many poets later to assimilate
those heroic values.
Generally speaking, the poet of the pre-islamic period is one of the tribe heroes adapting
values of heroship which have always characterised the pre islamic community.
Accordingly, the concept of the " war hero" has formed the the poetic consciousness in
terms of bravery and strength. So well does the "peace hero" as having been the social hero
representing the values of genorosity, good neighbor, and helping the needy. There are also
many other values which can't be separated in many poems, especially when connected
with collective pride that is often represented by heroes carrying the tribal fanaticism.
The research presents the image of women in the life of Abu Tammam and his artistic
experience through what Abu Tammam presented in his poetry library. It shows us that
women occupy a prominent place in their artistic experience and have appeared i
n many
ways.
There is a beloved that the greatness of his travel and talk about it, is often a talk of self,
and women who refuses to obey the poet's desire because it will lead to the life of fainting
and idle.
We start by talking about the image of women as drawn by the poet in his verses, and his
concept of true love as presented by the poet, and then we offer the concept of beauty of
women in Abu Tammam and as presented by his hair and his position of gray,
The Andalusian prose has a history of greatness , and quality in
which it is written .
This research comes to prove the admiration of the Andalusian
ى writers of the Oriental heritage in general , and poetry in particular,
despite their different
ideological and literary attitudes , by
revealing the manifestations of poetic heritage in the Andalusian
prose , and highlighting the most prominent poets influenced by the
writers of Andalusia , and took from their poetic texts to meet their
literary needs .
In the light of the conceptual remarks that Ibn Sinan adopts as
evaluative features of the quality of poetry, among which are the
prevailing proverbs and unsystematic verses, we do discover the world of
the poet with its psychological, intellectua
l and social horizons. This is so
since they uncover the secrets of the intuitive character of the creator and
its potential introvert features; and, at the same time, they stand as one
part of his understandability of poetry. Poetry expresses emotions, and
reflects a vision full of influential sentiments of the creator. So, what if
the poet were a critic?
This study tackles an important part of Abu-Tammam's
vision that considers the poetry outcome of reason. And that is an
important shift of the concept of Arabic Poetry , which is charged
with lyricism and lack of thought .
This paper aims to illustrate the effect of the textual power in the esthetics of the
poetry text, its concepts and the dimension of this effect in the light of psychological
reading of the pre-Islamic poetry. We seek to preeminence the text effect
in the receiver
who uses his psychological tools to find out about the author self, appealing for the tension
power that was assembled by the text of the pre-Islamic poetry, and depending on the
poeticalness of the pre- Islamic figure in order to obtain the esthetics effect that attracts the
receiver and demonstrates the esthetics of the pre-Islamic poetry text and its riches.
The pre-Islamic poetry was not merely an artistic formulation, but it was a position,
thought and expression from the depths of the poet Al-Jahali, in which the da'al floats, and
the meaning falls away, so we get a flexible aesthetic dimension, after it reveals that the
pre-Islamic poetry exceeded and surpassed; Their poems included a special vision of their
mental state.
This research studies the elements of "story telling" in the
Andalus‘s poetry in " al-Twaef " age in. Some poets tended to display
in their poems some elements of the art of storytelling. They narrated
their adventures and certain incidents that f
aced them. However some
made used of some elements, though in incomplete way. Some did
concentrate on certain elements more than others. This would be the
area the present research aims to explore.
The research will deal with the diverse, relationships that exist
among these elements, and their dependence on each other. This will be
done through the study of some poetical samples. The method will be
analytical that endeavours to explain the structure of the poetical
stories.
