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

A Comparison of Transformer and LSTM Encoder Decoder Models for ASR
TL;DR: Competitive results using a Transformer encoder-decoder-attention model for end-to-end speech recognition needing less training time compared to a similarly performing LSTM model are presented and it is observed that the Transformer training is in general more stable compared to the L STM, although it also seems to overfit more, and thus shows more problems with generalization.

Human-Aware Motion Deblurring
TL;DR: A human-aware deblurring model that disentangles the motion blur between foreground (FG) humans and background (BG) humans based on a triple-branch encoder-decoder architecture that performs favorably against the state-of-the-art motion deblurred methods, especially in capturing semantic details.

Hierarchical Recurrent Attention Network for Response Generation
TL;DR: In this article, a hierarchical recurrent attention network (HRAN) is proposed to model both aspects in a unified framework, where a hierarchical attention mechanism attends to important parts within and among utterances with word level attention and utterance level attention respectively.

Sequence-based structured prediction for semantic parsing
TL;DR: An approach for semantic parsing that uses a recurrent neural network to map a natural language question into a logical form representation of a KB query and shows how grammatical constraints on the derivation sequence can easily be integrated inside the RNN-based sequential predictor.

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.

Learning long-term dependencies with gradient descent is difficult
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.
