The technology provides a model-based approach for multilingual text rewriting that is applicable across many languages and across different styles including formality levels or other textual attributes. The model is configured to manipulate both language and textual attributes jointly. This approach supports zero-shot formality-sensitive translation, with no labeled data in the target language. An encoder-decoder architectural approach with attribute extraction is used to train rewriter models that can thus be used in 'universal' textual rewriting across many different languages. A cross-lingual learning signal can be incorporated into the training approach. Certain training processes do not employ any exemplars. This approach enables not just straight translation, but also the ability to create new sentences with different attributes.

Techniques and models for multilingual text rewriting

A system may use a machine-learned model to determine whether to classify a sequence of one or more words within a first document that is being edited as a candidate hyperlink based at least in part on context associated with the first document. In response to classifying the sequence of one or more words as the candidate hyperlink, the system may use the machine-learned model and based at least in part on the sequence of one or more words and the context to determine one or more candidate document to be hyperlinked from the sequence of one or more words. In response to receiving an indication of a second document being selected out of the one or more candidate documents, the system may modify the first document to associate the sequence of one or more words with a hyperlink to the second document.
