Deep encoders have been proven to be effective in improving neural machine translation (NMT) systems, but it reaches the upper bound of translation quality when the number of encoder layers exceeds 18. Worse still, deeper networks consume a…

Meta-Learning is a subarea of Machine Learning that aims to take advantage of prior knowledge to learn faster and with fewer data [1]. There are different scenarios where meta-learning can be applied, and one of the most common is algorithm…

The choice of a proper learning rate is paramount for good Artificial Neural Network training and performance. In the past, one had to rely on experience and trial-and-error to find an adequate learning rate. Presently, a plethora of state…

Training neural networks on image datasets generally require extensive experimentation to find the optimal learning rate regime. Especially, for the cases of adversarial training or for training a newly synthesized model, one would not know…

This paper tackles the problem of training a deep convolutional neural network of both low-bitwidth weights and activations. Optimizing a low-precision network is very challenging due to the non-differentiability of the quantizer, which may…

A multilingual tokenizer is a fundamental component of multilingual neural machine translation. It is trained from a multilingual corpus. Since a skewed data distribution is considered to be harmful, a sampling strategy is usually used to…

Reinforcement learning (RL) can automate a wide variety of robotic skills, but learning each new skill requires considerable real-world data collection and manual representation engineering to design policy classes or features. Using deep…

In deep neural network modeling, the most common practice is to stack a number of recurrent, convolutional, or feed-forward layers in order to obtain high-quality continuous space representations which in turn improves the quality of the…
