Neural Machine Translation by Jointly Learning to Align and Translate
TLDR
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.Abstract:
Neural machine translation is a recently proposed approach to machine translation. Unlike the traditional statistical machine translation, the neural machine translation aims at building a single neural network that can be jointly tuned to maximize the translation performance. The models proposed recently for neural machine translation often belong to a family of encoder-decoders and consists of an encoder that encodes a source sentence into a fixed-length vector from which a decoder generates a translation. In this paper, we conjecture that the use of a fixed-length vector is a bottleneck in improving the performance of this basic encoder-decoder architecture, and propose 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. With this new approach, we achieve a translation performance comparable to the existing state-of-the-art phrase-based system on the task of English-to-French translation. Furthermore, qualitative analysis reveals that the (soft-)alignments found by the model agree well with our intuition.read more

Neural Text Summarization: A Critical Evaluation
TL;DR: The authors critically evaluate key ingredients of the current research setup: datasets, evaluation metrics, and models and highlight three primary shortcomings: automatically collected datasets leave the task underconstrained and may contain noise detrimental to training and evaluation, current evaluation protocol is weakly correlated with human judgment and does not account for important characteristics such as factual correctness, models overfit to layout biases of current datasets and offer limited diversity in their outputs.

Reducing Transformer Depth on Demand with Structured Dropout
TL;DR: LayerDrop, a form of structured dropout, is explored, which has a regularization effect during training and allows for efficient pruning at inference time, and shows that it is possible to select sub-networks of any depth from one large network without having to finetune them and with limited impact on performance.

TL;DR: This work shows why gradient based learning algorithms face an increasingly difficult problem as the duration of the dependencies to be captured increases, and exposes a trade-off between efficient learning by gradient descent and latching on information for long periods.

A neural probabilistic language model
TL;DR: The authors propose to learn a distributed representation for words which allows each training sentence to inform the model about an exponential number of semantically neighboring sentences, which can be expressed in terms of these representations.
