### Collaborative Poetry Writing with Instructions
As part of our [work](https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.13669), we release our Instruction-tuned T5-11B model specifically aimed at instructions suited to poetry writing.<br> 
The expected model output is a single poetic sentence or verse in response to an instruction in natural language provided by a user. Here's an example of the collaborative writing process. <br>

The model was finetuned using a dataset of poetic sentences scraped from the internet and then paired to an instruction generated via templates. Training and validation data is shared on our [Github](https://github.com/vishakhpk/creative-instructions).<br>
Here are some samples of instructions the model was trained on: <br>

More details about the training and evaluation can be found in the [paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.13669).<br>
You can also see poems that were written with model help and the corresponding user interactions on our [website](https://copoet-emnlp.github.io ).
