TLDR
This work introduces Adam, an algorithm for first-order gradient-based optimization of stochastic objective functions, based on adaptive estimates of lower-order moments, and provides a regret bound on the convergence rate that is comparable to the best known results under the online convex optimization framework.Abstract:
We introduce Adam, an algorithm for first-order gradient-based optimization of stochastic objective functions, based on adaptive estimates of lower-order moments. The method is straightforward to implement, is computationally efficient, has little memory requirements, is invariant to diagonal rescaling of the gradients, and is well suited for problems that are large in terms of data and/or parameters. The method is also appropriate for non-stationary objectives and problems with very noisy and/or sparse gradients. The hyper-parameters have intuitive interpretations and typically require little tuning. Some connections to related algorithms, on which Adam was inspired, are discussed. We also analyze the theoretical convergence properties of the algorithm and provide a regret bound on the convergence rate that is comparable to the best known results under the online convex optimization framework. Empirical results demonstrate that Adam works well in practice and compares favorably to other stochastic optimization methods. Finally, we discuss AdaMax, a variant of Adam based on the infinity norm.read more

Regularizing and Optimizing LSTM Language Models
TL;DR: This paper proposes the weight-dropped LSTM which uses DropConnect on hidden-to-hidden weights as a form of recurrent regularization and introduces NT-ASGD, a variant of the averaged stochastic gradient method, wherein the averaging trigger is determined using a non-monotonic condition as opposed to being tuned by the user.

TL;DR: In this article, a generative model is used to model a distribution of possible outputs in a conditional generative modeling setting, and the ambiguity of the mapping is distilled in a low-dimensional latent vector, which can be randomly sampled at test time.

A Structural Probe for Finding Syntax in Word Representations
TL;DR: A structural probe is proposed, which evaluates whether syntax trees are embedded in a linear transformation of a neural network’s word representation space, and shows that such transformations exist for both ELMo and BERT but not in baselines, providing evidence that entire syntax Trees are embedded implicitly in deep models’ vector geometry.

Adaptive Subgradient Methods for Online Learning and Stochastic Optimization.
TL;DR: Adaptive subgradient methods as discussed by the authors dynamically incorporate knowledge of the geometry of the data observed in earlier iterations to perform more informative gradient-based learning, which allows us to find needles in haystacks in the form of very predictive but rarely seen features.
