A Brief Summary of Maths Behind RNN (Recurrent Neural Networks)
In a feedforward neural network, we have X(input) and H(Hidden) and y(output). We can have as many hidden layers as we want but weights (W)for every hidden layer are and the weights for every neuron corresponding to the input are different. Above we have weights Wh0 and Wh1, which corresponds to two different layers, while Wh00, Wh01 and so on, represent different weights corresponding to different neuron and with respect to the input. The RNN cell contains a set of feed forward neural networks cause we have time steps. The RNN has sequential input, sequential output, multiple time-steps, and multiple hidden layers. Unlike FFNN, here we calculate hidden layer values not only from input values but also previous time step values and Weights ( W) at hidden layers are the same for time steps. Here is the complete picture for RNN and its Math.

How This Innovative AI Text generator Can Create Stories, Poetry and Even News MarkTechPost
The development of interactive artificial intelligence has been slowly progressing over the last 15 years. Even chatbots that are considered advanced by modern standards still can't hold a candle to the level improv and intuitiveness required for a standard conversation. A recent innovation in artificial text technology may be the key to changing all of that. Adam King, a Canadian engineer, recently released his extensive artificial intelligence program "Talk to Transformer," an artificial intelligence language system based on the more extensive system unveiled earlier in 2019 by OpenAI. Talk to Transformer operates along with the same principles of OpenAI's system, albeit on a smaller and more niche scale.

Our recommendations encompass exciting research questions as well as promising business opportunities. We call on the machine learning community to join the global effort against climate change.
Meta-Learning Neural Bloom Filters
Rae, Jack W, Bartunov, Sergey, Lillicrap, Timothy P
There has been a recent trend in training neural networks to replace data structures that have been crafted by hand, with an aim for faster execution, better accuracy, or greater compression. In this setting, a neural data structure is instantiated by training a network over many epochs of its inputs until convergence. In applications where inputs arrive at high throughput, or are ephemeral, training a network from scratch is not practical. This motivates the need for few-shot neural data structures. In this paper we explore the learning of approximate set membership over a set of data in one-shot via meta-learning. We propose a novel memory architecture, the Neural Bloom Filter, which is able to achieve significant compression gains over classical Bloom Filters and existing memory-augmented neural networks.
Making CNNs for Video Parsing Accessible
Luo, Zijin, Guzdial, Matthew, Riedl, Mark
The ability to extract sequences of game events for high-resolution e-sport games has traditionally required access to the game's engine. This serves as a barrier to groups who don't possess this access. It is possible to apply deep learning to derive these logs from gameplay video, but it requires computational power that serves as an additional barrier. These groups would benefit from access to these logs, such as small e-sport tournament organizers who could better visualize gameplay to inform both audience and commentators. In this paper we present a combined solution to reduce the required computational resources and time to apply a convolutional neural network (CNN) to extract events from e-sport gameplay videos. This solution consists of techniques to train a CNN faster and methods to execute predictions more quickly. This expands the types of machines capable of training and running these models, which in turn extends access to extracting game logs with this approach. We evaluate the approaches in the domain of DOTA2, one of the most popular e-sports. Our results demonstrate our approach outperforms standard backpropagation baselines.
Towards Amortized Ranking-Critical Training for Collaborative Filtering
Lobel, Sam, Li, Chunyuan, Gao, Jianfeng, Carin, Lawrence
Collaborative filtering is widely used in modern recommender systems. Recent research shows that variational autoencoders (VAEs) yield state-of-the-art performance by integrating flexible representations from deep neural networks into latent variable models, mitigating limitations of traditional linear factor models. VAEs are typically trained by maximizing the likelihood (MLE) of users interacting with ground-truth items. While simple and often effective, MLE-based training does not directly maximize the recommendation-quality metrics one typically cares about, such as top-N ranking. In this paper we investigate new methods for training collaborative filtering models based on actor-critic reinforcement learning, to directly optimize the non-differentiable quality metrics of interest. Specifically, we train a critic network to approximate ranking-based metrics, and then update the actor network (represented here by a VAE) to directly optimize against the learned metrics. In contrast to traditional learning-to-rank methods that require to re-run the optimization procedure for new lists, our critic-based method amortizes the scoring process with a neural network, and can directly provide the (approximate) ranking scores for new lists. Empirically, we show that the proposed methods outperform several state-of-the-art baselines, including recently-proposed deep learning approaches, on three large-scale real-world datasets.

SALT: Subspace Alignment as an Auxiliary Learning Task for Domain Adaptation
Thopalli, Kowshik, Thiagarajan, Jayaraman J., Anirudh, Rushil, Turaga, Pavan
Unsupervised domain adaptation aims to transfer and adapt knowledge learned from a labeled source domain to an unlabeled target domain. Key components of unsupervised domain adaptation include: (a) maximizing performance on the source, and (b) aligning the source and target domains. Traditionally, these tasks have either been considered as separate, or assumed to be implicitly addressed together with high-capacity feature extractors. In this paper, we advance a third broad approach; which we term SALT. The core idea is to consider alignment as an auxiliary task to the primary task of maximizing performance on the source. The auxiliary task is made rather simple by assuming a tractable data geometry in the form of subspaces. We synergistically allow certain parameters derived from the closed-form auxiliary solution, to be affected by gradients from the primary task. The proposed approach represents a unique fusion of geometric and model-based alignment with gradient-flows from a data-driven primary task. SALT is simple, rooted in theory, and outperforms state-of-the-art on multiple standard benchmarks.
SAR: Learning Cross-Language API Mappings with Little Knowledge
Bui, Nghi D. Q., Yu, Yijun, Jiang, Lingxiao
To save manual effort, developers often translate programs from one programming language to another, instead of implementing it from scratch. Translating application program interfaces (APIs) used in one language to functionally equivalent ones available in another language is an important aspect of program translation. Existing approaches facilitate the translation by automatically identifying the API mappings across programming languages. However, all these approaches still require large amount of manual effort in preparing parallel program corpora, ranging from pairs of APIs, to manually identified code in different languages that are considered as functionally equivalent. To minimize the manual effort in identifying parallel program corpora and API mappings, this paper aims at an automated approach to map APIs across languages with much less knowledge a priori needed than other existing approaches. The approach is based on an realization of the notion of domain adaption combined with code embedding, which can better align two vector spaces: taking as input large sets of programs, our approach first generates numeric vector representations of the programs, especially the APIs used in each language, and it adapts generative adversarial networks (GAN) to align the vectors from the spaces of two languages. For a better alignment, we initialize the GAN with parameters derived from optional API mapping seeds that can be identified accurately with a simple automatic signature-based matching heuristic. Then the cross-language API mappings can be identified via nearest-neighbors queries in the aligned vector spaces.
Stochastic Mirror Descent on Overparameterized Nonlinear Models: Convergence, Implicit Regularization, and Generalization
Azizan, Navid, Lale, Sahin, Hassibi, Babak
Most modern learning problems are highly overparameterized, meaning that there are many more parameters than the number of training data points, and as a result, the training loss may have infinitely many global minima (parameter vectors that perfectly interpolate the training data). Therefore, it is important to understand which interpolating solutions we converge to, how they depend on the initialization point and the learning algorithm, and whether they lead to different generalization performances. In this paper, we study these questions for the family of stochastic mirror descent (SMD) algorithms, of which the popular stochastic gradient descent (SGD) is a special case. Our contributions are both theoretical and experimental. On the theory side, we show that in the overparameterized nonlinear setting, if the initialization is close enough to the manifold of global minima (something that comes for free in the highly overparameterized case), SMD with sufficiently small step size converges to a global minimum that is approximately the closest one in Bregman divergence. On the experimental side, our extensive experiments on standard datasets and models, using various initializations, various mirror descents, and various Bregman divergences, consistently confirms that this phenomenon happens in deep learning. Our experiments further indicate that there is a clear difference in the generalization performance of the solutions obtained by different SMD algorithms. Experimenting on a standard image dataset and network architecture with SMD with different kinds of implicit regularization, $\ell_1$ to encourage sparsity, $\ell_2$ yielding SGD, and $\ell_{10}$ to discourage large components in the parameter vector, consistently and definitively shows that $\ell_{10}$-SMD has better generalization performance than SGD, which in turn has better generalization performance than $\ell_1$-SMD.
