Knowing When to Look: Adaptive Attention via a Visual Sentinel for Image Captioning

Automatically generating captions for images has emerged as a prominent interdisciplinary research problem in both academia and industry. It can aid visually impaired users, and make it easy for users to organize and navigate through large amounts of typically unstructured visual data. In order to generate high quality captions, the model needs to incorporate fine-grained […]

Thinking out Loud: Hierarchical and Interpretable Multi-task Reinforcement Learning

Deep reinforcement learning (deep RL) is a popular and successful family of methods for teaching computers tasks ranging from playing Go and Atari games to controlling industrial robots. But it is difficult to use a single neural network and conventional RL techniques to learn many different skills at once. Existing approaches usually treat the tasks

Improving end-to-end Speech Recognition Models

Speech recognition has been successfully depolyed on various smart devices, and is changing the way we interact with them. Traditional phonetic-based recognition approaches require training of separate components such as pronouciation, acoustic and language model. Since the models are all trained separately with different training objectives, improving one of the components does not necessarily lead

A Domain Specific Language for Automated RNN Architecture Search

When humans generate novel neural architectures, they go through a surprisingly large amount of trial and error. This holds true almost regardless of how much experience in deep learning that person might have! In an optimal world, the neural networks themselves would explore potential architectures and improve themselves over time. Without human intuition and insights

The Natural Language Decathlon

Introduction Deep learning has significantly improved state-of-the-art performance for natural language processing tasks like machine translation, summarization, question answering, and text classification. Each of these tasks is typically studied with a specific metric, and performance is often measured on a set of standard benchmark datasets. This has led to the development of architectures designed specifically
