It is time-consuming to find the best product among many similar alternatives. Comparative sentences can help to contrast one item from others in a way that highlights important features of an item that stand out. Given reviews of one or multiple items and relevant item features, we generate comparative review sentences to aid users to find the best fit. Specifically, our model consists of three successive components in a transformer: (i) an item encoding module to encode an item for comparison, (ii) a comparison generation module that generates comparative sentences in an autoregressive manner, (iii) a novel decoding method for user personalization. We show that our pipeline generates fluent and diverse comparative sentences. We run experiments on the relevance and fidelity of our generated sentences in a human evaluation study and find that our algorithm creates comparative review sentences that are relevant and truthful.
