share
Paraphrasing is often performed with less concern for controlled style conversion.

Utilizing manually generated natural language queries on six daily topics, we expand the corpus to formal and informal sentences by human rewriting and transferring. We verify the validity and industrial applicability of our approach by checking the adequate classification and inference performance that fit with the fine-tuning approaches, at the same time proposing a supervised formality transfer task.
