摘　　要：Automatic generation of Chinese classical poetry is still a challenging problem in artificial intelligence.Re-cently,Encoder-Decoder models have provided a few viable methods for poetry generation.However,by reviewing the pri-or methods,two major issues still need to be settled:1)most of them are one-stage generation methods without further polishing;2)they rarely take into consideration the restrictions of poetry,such as tone and rhyme.Intuitively,some an-cient Chinese poets tended first to write a coarse poem underlying aesthetics and then deliberated its semantics;while oth-ers first create a semantic poem and then refine its aesthetics.On this basis,in order to better imitate the human creation procedure of poems,we propose a two-stage method(i.e.,restricted polishing generation method)of which each stage fo-cuses on the different aspects of poems(i.e.,semantics and aesthetics),which can produce a higher quality of generated poems.In this way,the two-stage method develops into two symmetrical generation methods,the aesthetics-to-semantics method and the semantics-to-aesthetics method.In particular,we design a sampling method and a gate to formulate the tone and rhyme restrictions,which can further improve the rhythm of the generated poems.Experimental results demon-strate the superiority of our proposed two-stage method in both automatic evaluation metrics and human evaluation met-rics compared with baselines,especially in yielding consistent improvements in tone and rhyme.
