TextBox: A Unified, Modularized, and Extensible Framework for Text Generation

We release an open library, called TextBox, which provides a unified, modularized, and extensible text generation framework. TextBox aims to support a broad set of text generation tasks and models. In TextBox, we implements several text generation models on benchmark datasets, covering the categories of VAE, GAN, pre-trained language models, etc. Meanwhile, our library maintains sufficient modularity and extensibility by properly decomposing the model architecture, inference, learning process into highly reusable modules, which allows easily incorporating new models into our framework. It is specially suitable for researchers and practitioners to efficiently reproduce baseline models and develop new models. TextBox is implemented based on PyTorch, and released under Apache License 2.0 at the link \url{https://github.com/RUCAIBox/TextBox}.
