Reviews: The Synthesis of XNOR Recurrent Neural Networks with Stochastic Logic

Neural Information Processing Systems 

This paper proposes to use stochastic logic to approximate the activation function of LSTM. Binarization of non-linear units in deep neural networks is an interesting topic that can be relevant for low-resources computing. The main contribution of the paper was the application of stochastic logic to approximate activation functions(e.g. The authors applied the technique to a variant of LSTM model on PTB. Given that the technique is not really tied to the LSTM model, it would be more interesting to evaluate more model architectures(e.g.
