A Survey of Recursive and Recurrent Neural Networks

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

In this paper, the branches of recursive and recurrent neural networks are classified in detail according to the network structure, training objective function and learning algorithm implementation. They are roughly divided into three categories: The first category is General Recursive and Recurrent Neural Networks, including Basic Recursive and Recurrent Neural Networks, Long Short Term Memory Recursive and Recurrent Neural Networks, Convolutional Recursive and Recurrent Neural Networks, Differential Recursive and Recurrent Neural Networks, One-Layer Recursive and Recurrent Neural Networks, High-Order Recursive and Recurrent Neural Networks, Highway Networks, Multidimensional Recursive and Recurrent Neural Networks, Bidirectional Recursive and Recurrent Neural Networks; the second category is Structured Recursive and Recurrent Neural Networks, including Grid Recursive and Recurrent Neural Networks, Graph Recursive and Recurrent Neural Networks, Temporal Recursive and Recurrent Neural Networks, Lattice Recursive and Recurrent Neural Networks, Hierarchical Recursive and Recurrent Neural Networks, Tree Recursive and Recurrent Neural Networks; the third category is Other Recursive and Recurrent Neural Networks, including Array Long Short Term Memory, Nested and Stacked Recursive and Recurrent Neural Networks, Memory Recursive and Recurrent Neural Networks. Various networks cross each other and even rely on each other to form a complex network of relationships. In the context of the development and convergence of various networks, many complex sequence, speech and image problems are solved. After a detailed description of the principle and structure of the above model and model deformation, the research progress and application of each model are described, and finally the recursive and recurrent neural network models are prospected and summarized.


Tree of Agents: Improving Long-Context Capabilities of Large Language Models through Multi-Perspective Reasoning

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Large language models (LLMs) face persistent challenges when handling long-context tasks, most notably the lost in the middle issue, where information located in the middle of a long input tends to be underutilized. Some existing methods that reduce input have the risk of discarding key information, while others that extend context windows often lead to attention dispersion. To address these limitations, we propose Tree of Agents (TOA), a multi-agent reasoning framework that segments the input into chunks processed by independent agents. Each agent generates its local cognition, then agents dynamically exchange information for collaborative reasoning along tree-structured paths. TOA enables agents to probe different reasoning orders for multi-perspective understanding, effectively mitigating position bias and reducing hallucinations. To improve processing efficiency, we incorporate prefix-hash caching and adaptive pruning strategies, achieving significant performance improvements with comparable API overhead. Experiments show that TOA, powered by compact LLaMA3.1-8B, significantly outperforms multiple baselines and demonstrates comparable performance to the latest and much larger commercial models, such as Gemini1.5-pro, on various long-context tasks.

The 5.30 orange juice that tells the story of why supermarket prices are sky high

BBC News

The £5.30 orange juice that tells the story of why supermarket prices are sky high There has been more than a bitter twang in the glasses at British breakfast tables. Only five years ago, a typical supermarket own-label carton of orange juice could be bought for 76p for 1 litre. One colleague was outraged to be sent a bill for £9 for a glass of hangover-busting orange juice and lemonade at an unassuming little restaurant in Kent. Asked why so much, she was told that the orange juice - albeit freshly squeezed - accounted for £5.30 of the price. Yet as costs have surged, the taste is changing too, with certain manufacturers substituting oranges for mandarins to cut costs.


Our biggest competition is screens at home, says theme park boss

BBC News

The head of global theme park giant Merlin Entertainments says its biggest competition is people choosing to stay at home on their phones and other devices. Fiona Eastwood says a day out at one of its UK attractions - which include Legoland, Thorpe Park and Alton Towers - was the perfect antidote for spiralling screen time. In a wide-ranging BBC Big Boss Interview, the chief executive reflected on challenges in the forthcoming Budget, big brand partnerships, and how its customers were responding to cost-of-living pressures. Eastwood also highlighted the importance of seasonal attractions to its customers - with Halloween now rivalling its summer season in driving profits at some attractions. Having been in the job since February, Eastwood has taken over at a time when her industry is facing challenges from a dip in consumer confidence.


Men speak with a vocal fry just as much as women

Popular Science

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. As with the Valley Girl uptalk of the 1980s, or the supposed overuse of the word "like" in the 1990s, vocal fry remains a divisive conversation topic over 10 years on. The term refers to that distinctively creaking or crackly tone heard in the voices of certain individuals or whales . But at least in humans, it's often used while expressing apathy at the end of a word or phrase. Think of celebrities like Aubrey Plaza, Britney Spears, or Kim Kardashian.

World's only flightless parrot doing okay against 'crusty bum' disease

New Zealand's critically endangered kākāpō are not showing signs of antibiotic resistance. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. With only 237 birds left in the wild, saving New Zealand's critically endangered kākāpō is one of the small country's major conservation projects. These giant, green camouflage experts are threatened by predators, invasive species, human encroachment, and a debilitating illness colloquially called crusty bum disease (exudative cloacitis). Birds that contract it can become infertile, which puts strain on their already small populations.


Ukrainian city in total blackout after 'massive' Russian assault

BBC News

The Ukrainian city of Chernihiv is in total blackout following what the authorities describe as a massive assault by Russian missiles and drones, with hundreds of thousands of people affected. Across the wider Chernihiv region, four people are reported to have been killed as residential neighbourhoods were struck in the town of Novhorod-Siverskyi. Ten others were injured, including a 10-year-old girl. The country's most northerly region is the latest to be hit in an intensifying series of attacks on civilian infrastructure as Russia targets energy supplies, the rail network, homes and businesses in its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. I personally heard the drones flying overhead, 55-year-old Oleksandr Babich said.
