BBR: Congestion-based congestion control Cardwell et al., ACM Queue Sep-Oct 2016 With thanks to Hossein Ghodse (@hossg) for recommending today's paper selection. This is the story of how members of Google's make-tcp-fast project developed and deployed a new congestion control algorithm for TCP called BBR (for Bandwidth Bottleneck and Round-trip propagation time), leading to 2-25x … Continue reading BBR: Congestion-based congestion control

Stochastic program optimization
Stochastic program optimization Schkufza et al., CACM 2016 Yesterday we saw that DeepCoder can find solutions to simple programming problems using a guided search. DeepCoder needs a custom DSL, and a maximum program length of 5 functions. In 'Stochastic program optimization' Schkufza et al. also use a search strategy to generate code that meets a … Continue reading Stochastic program optimization
DeepCoder: Learning to write programs
DeepCoder: Learning to write programs Balog et al., ICLR 2017 I'm mostly trying to wait until the ICLR conference itself before diving into the papers to be presented there, but this particular paper follows nicely on from yesterday, so I've decided to bring it forward. In 'Large scale evolution of image classifiers' we saw how … Continue reading DeepCoder: Learning to write programs
Large-scale evolution of image classifiers
Large-scale evolution of image classifiers Real et al., 2017 I'm sure you noticed the bewildering array of network architectures in use when we looked at some of the top convolution neural network papers of the last few years last week (Part 1, Part2, Part 3). With sufficient training data, these networks can achieve amazing feats, … Continue reading Large-scale evolution of image classifiers
Ethically aligned design
The IEEE Global Initiative for Ethical Considerations in Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems. Ethically Aligned Design: A Vision For Prioritizing Wellbeing With Artificial Intelligence And Autonomous Systems, Version 1. IEEE, 2016. http://standards.ieee.org/develop/indconn/ec/autonomous_systems.html. Something a little different for today... the IEEE recently put out a first version of their "Ethically Aligned Design" report for public … Continue reading Ethically aligned design
A miscellany of fun deep learning papers
To round out the week, I thought I'd take a selection of fun papers from the 'More papers from 2016' section of top 100 awesome deep learning papers list. Colorful image colorization, Zhang et al., 2016 Texture networks: feed-forward synthesis of textures and stylized images Generative visual manipulation on the natural image manifold, Zhu et … Continue reading A miscellany of fun deep learning papers
Recurrent Neural Network models
Today we're pressing on with the top 100 awesome deep learning papers list, and the section on recurrent neural networks (RNNs). This contains only four papers (joy!), and even better we've covered two of them previously (Neural Turing Machines and Memory Networks, the links below are to the write-ups). That leaves up with only two … Continue reading Recurrent Neural Network models
Convolution neural networks, Part 3
Today we're looking at the final four papers from the 'convolutional neural networks' section of the 'top 100 awesome deep learning papers' list. Deep residual learning for image recognition, He et al., 2016 Identity mappings in deep residual networks, He et al., 2016 Inception-v4, inception-resnet and the impact of residual connections or learning, Szegedy et … Continue reading Convolution neural networks, Part 3
Convolution neural nets, Part 2
Today it's the second tranche of papers from the convolutional neural nets section of the 'top 100 awesome deep learning papers' list: Return of the devil in the details: delving deep into convolutional nets, Chatfield et al., 2014 Spatial pyramid pooling in deep convolutional networks for visual recognition, He et al., 2014 Very deep convolutional … Continue reading Convolution neural nets, Part 2
Convolutional neural networks, Part 1
Having recovered somewhat from the last push on deep learning papers, it's time this week to tackle the next batch of papers from the 'top 100 awesome deep learning papers.' Recall that the plan is to cover multiple papers per day, in a little less depth than usual per paper, to give you a broad … Continue reading Convolutional neural networks, Part 1
