Sequence to sequence learning with neural networks

Sequence to sequence learning with neural networks Sutskever et al. NIPS, 2014 Yesterday we looked at paragraph vectors which extend the distributed word vectors approach to learn a distributed representation of a sentence, paragraph, or document. Today's paper tackles what must be one of the sternest tests of all when it comes to assessing how … Continue reading Sequence to sequence learning with neural networks

GeePS: Scalable deep learning on distributed GPUs with a GPU-specialized parameter server

GeePS: Scalable deep learning on distributed GPUs with a GPU-specialized parameter server - Cui et al. 2016 (EuroSys 2016) We know that deep learning is well suited to GPUs since it has inherent parallelism. But so far this has mostly been limited to either a single GPU (e.g. using Caffe) or to specially built distributed … Continue reading GeePS: Scalable deep learning on distributed GPUs with a GPU-specialized parameter server

ImageNet Classification with Deep Convolutional Neural Networks

ImageNet Classification with Deep Convolutional Neural Networks - Krizhevsky et al. 2012 Like the large-vocabulary speech recognition paper we looked at yesterday, today's paper has also been described as a landmark paper in the history of deep learning. It's also a surprisingly easy read! The ImageNet dataset contains over 15 million labeled high-resolution images of … Continue reading ImageNet Classification with Deep Convolutional Neural Networks

Context-Dependent Pre-Trained Deep Neural Networks for Large-Vocabulary Speech Recognition

Context-Dependent Pre-Trained Deep Neural Networks for Large-Vocabulary Speech Recognition - Dahl et al. 2011 The title may be a bit of a mouthful, but this paper is often cited as a watershed moment for deep learning and speech recognition. It represents the first application of deep neural networks for large vocabulary speech recognition (LVSR), and … Continue reading Context-Dependent Pre-Trained Deep Neural Networks for Large-Vocabulary Speech Recognition

Strategic Dialogue Management via Deep Reinforcement Learning

Strategic Dialogue Management via Deep Reinforcement Learning - Cuayahuitl et al. 2015 If computers learning to play Atari arcade games by themselves isn't really your thing, perhaps you're more into board games? How about a Deep Reinforcement Learning system that learns how to trade effectively in Settlers of Catan! Again, we're not talking about a … Continue reading Strategic Dialogue Management via Deep Reinforcement Learning
