TLDR
This paper proposed a simple network architecture based solely on an attention mechanism, dispensing with recurrence and convolutions entirely and achieved state-of-the-art performance on English-to-French translation.Abstract:
The dominant sequence transduction models are based on complex recurrent orconvolutional neural networks in an encoder and decoder configuration. The best performing such models also connect the encoder and decoder through an attentionm echanisms. We propose a novel, simple network architecture based solely onan attention mechanism, dispensing with recurrence and convolutions entirely.Experiments on two machine translation tasks show these models to be superiorin quality while being more parallelizable and requiring significantly less timeto train. Our single model with 165 million parameters, achieves 27.5 BLEU onEnglish-to-German translation, improving over the existing best ensemble result by over 1 BLEU. On English-to-French translation, we outperform the previoussingle state-of-the-art with model by 0.7 BLEU, achieving a BLEU score of 41.1.read more

Decoupled Weight Decay Regularization
Ilya Loshchilov,Frank Hutter +1 more
TL;DR: This work proposes a simple modification to recover the original formulation of weight decay regularization by decoupling the weight decay from the optimization steps taken w.r.t. the loss function, and provides empirical evidence that this modification substantially improves Adam's generalization performance.

Representation Learning with Contrastive Predictive Coding
TL;DR: This work proposes a universal unsupervised learning approach to extract useful representations from high-dimensional data, which it calls Contrastive Predictive Coding, and demonstrates that the approach is able to learn useful representations achieving strong performance on four distinct domains: speech, images, text and reinforcement learning in 3D environments.

Squeeze-and-Excitation Networks
TL;DR: Squeeze-and-excitation (SE) as mentioned in this paper adaptively recalibrates channel-wise feature responses by explicitly modeling interdependencies between channels, which can be stacked together to form SENet architectures.
