Sherlock Holmes has long been a popular character for pastiche, Holmes-related work by authors and creators other than Arthur Conan Doyle. Their works can be grouped into four broad categories: New Sherlock Holmes stories; Stories in which Holmes appears in a cameo role; Stories about imagined descendants of Sherlock Holmes; Stories inspired by Sherlock Holmes but which do not include Holmes himself.

A recent survey on controllable text generation: A causal perspective.. As an important subject of natural language generation, Controllable Text Generation (CTG) focuses on integrating additional constraints and controls while generating texts and has attracted a lot of attention.

This paper intends to review recent CTG approaches from a causal perspective. Firstly, according to previous research on basic types of CTG models, it is discovered that their essence is to obtain the association, and then four kinds of challe…

Balancing among homage, criticism, and usurpation, the pastiches comment on the original story world and its cultura…
