Dropout: a simple way to prevent neural networks from overfitting
TLDR
It is shown that dropout improves the performance of neural networks on supervised learning tasks in vision, speech recognition, document classification and computational biology, obtaining state-of-the-art results on many benchmark data sets.Abstract:
Deep neural nets with a large number of parameters are very powerful machine learning systems. However, overfitting is a serious problem in such networks. Large networks are also slow to use, making it difficult to deal with overfitting by combining the predictions of many different large neural nets at test time. Dropout is a technique for addressing this problem. The key idea is to randomly drop units (along with their connections) from the neural network during training. This prevents units from co-adapting too much. During training, dropout samples from an exponential number of different "thinned" networks. At test time, it is easy to approximate the effect of averaging the predictions of all these thinned networks by simply using a single unthinned network that has smaller weights. This significantly reduces overfitting and gives major improvements over other regularization methods. We show that dropout improves the performance of neural networks on supervised learning tasks in vision, speech recognition, document classification and computational biology, obtaining state-of-the-art results on many benchmark data sets.read more

Mean teachers are better role models: Weight-averaged consistency targets improve semi-supervised deep learning results
Antti Tarvainen,Harri Valpola +1 more
TL;DR: The recently proposed Temporal Ensembling has achieved state-of-the-art results in several semi-supervised learning benchmarks, but it becomes unwieldy when learning large datasets, so Mean Teacher, a method that averages model weights instead of label predictions, is proposed.

An Empirical Evaluation of Generic Convolutional and Recurrent Networks for Sequence Modeling
TL;DR: A systematic evaluation of generic convolutional and recurrent architectures for sequence modeling concludes that the common association between sequence modeling and recurrent networks should be reconsidered, and convolutionals should be regarded as a natural starting point for sequence modeled tasks.

Improved Semantic Representations From Tree-Structured Long Short-Term Memory Networks
TL;DR: The authors introduced the Tree-LSTM, a generalization of LSTMs to tree-structured network topologies, which outperformed all existing systems and strong LSTM baselines on two tasks: predicting the semantic relatedness of two sentences (SemEval 2014, Task 1) and sentiment classification (Stanford Sentiment Treebank).
