Abstract
We propose an extension to neural network language models to adapt their prediction to the recent history. Our model is a simplified version of memory augmented networks, which stores past hidden activations as memory and accesses them through a dot product with the current hidden activation. This mechanism is very efficient and scales to very large memory sizes. We also draw a link between the use of external memory in neural network and cache models used with count based language models. We demonstrate on several language model datasets that our approach performs significantly better than recent memory augmented networks.

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.

Transformer-XL: Attentive Language Models beyond a Fixed-Length Context.

TL;DR: This work proposes a novel neural architecture Transformer-XL that enables learning dependency beyond a fixed length without disrupting temporal coherence, which consists of a segment-level recurrence mechanism and a novel positional encoding scheme.

DARTS: Differentiable Architecture Search

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a differentiable architecture search algorithm based on the continuous relaxation of the architecture representation. But the architecture search is not a discrete and non-differentiable search space.

Long short-term memory

TL;DR: A novel, efficient, gradient based method called long short-term memory (LSTM) is introduced, which can learn to bridge minimal time lags in excess of 1000 discrete-time steps by enforcing constant error flow through constant error carousels within special units.

Neural Machine Translation by Jointly Learning to Align and Translate

TL;DR: It is conjecture that the use of a fixed-length vector is a bottleneck in improving the performance of this basic encoder-decoder architecture, and it is proposed to extend this by allowing a model to automatically (soft-)search for parts of a source sentence that are relevant to predicting a target word, without having to form these parts as a hard segment explicitly.

Finding Structure in Time

TL;DR: A proposal along these lines first described by Jordan (1986) which involves the use of recurrent links in order to provide networks with a dynamic memory and suggests a method for representing lexical categories and the type/token distinction is developed.

Empirical evaluation of gated recurrent neural networks on sequence modeling

TL;DR: These advanced recurrent units that implement a gating mechanism, such as a long short-term memory (LSTM) unit and a recently proposed gated recurrent unit (GRU), are found to be comparable to LSTM.
