awesome-text-generation Awesome

A curated list (as of EMNLP 2018, will update to NeurIPS18 soon) of recent awesome text generation model and their application. Inspired by awesome-architecture-search, awesome-adversarial-machine-learining and awesome-deep-learning-paper. Please help to contribute if you find some important works are missing.
