A few days ago on HN there was a short story of five paragraphs that started badly & finished OK, and I wondered if some operations research tricks could be applied. One is forward-backward-forward planning, this produces better schedules, and if applied would create a better opening, and perhaps ending (i.e. model is run three times). In the case of citations, you really need a language model & a fact model. The language model then passes over to the fact model, then back to the language model. This means double(+) training. I suppose the fact model could include things like Wolfram (also discussed on HN).
