The recurrent network architecture is a widely used model in sequence modeling, but its serial dependency hinders the computation parallelization, which makes the operation inefficient. The same problem was encountered in serial adder at the early stage of digital electronics. In this paper, we discuss the similarities between recurrent neural network (RNN) and serial adder. Inspired by carry-lookahead adder, we introduce carry-lookahead module to RNN, which makes it possible for RNN to run in parallel. Then, we design the method of parallel RNN computation, and finally Carry-lookahead RNN (CL-RNN) is proposed. CL-RNN takes advantages in parallelism and flexible receptive field. Through a comprehensive set of tests, we verify that CL-RNN can perform better than existing typical RNNs in sequence modeling tasks which are specially designed for RNNs.

Social reviews are indispensable resources for modern consumers decision making. For financial gain, companies pay fraudsters preferably in groups to demote or promote products and services since consumers are more likely to be misled by a large number of similar reviews from groups. Recent approaches on fraudster group detection employed handcrafted features of group behaviors without considering the semantic relation between reviews from the reviewers in a group. In this paper, we propose the first neural approach, HIN-RNN, a Heterogeneous Information Network (HIN) Compatible RNN for fraudster group detection that requires no handcrafted features. HIN-RNN provides a unifying architecture for representation learning of each reviewer, with the initial vector as the sum of word embeddings of all review text written by the same reviewer, concatenated by the ratio of negative reviews. Given a co-review network representing reviewers who have reviewed the same items with the same ratings and the reviewers vector representation, a collaboration matrix is acquired through HIN-RNN training. The proposed approach is confirmed to be effective with marked improvement over state-of-the-art approaches on both the Yelp (22% and 12% in terms of recall and F1-value, respectively) and Amazon (4% and 2% in terms of recall and F1-value, respectively) datasets.
Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) are notoriously difficult to train. When the eigenvalues of the hidden to hidden weight matrix deviate from absolute value 1, optimization becomes difficult due to the well studied issue of vanishing and exploding gradients, especially when trying to learn long-term dependencies. To circumvent this problem, we propose a new architecture that learns a unitary weight matrix, with eigenvalues of absolute value exactly 1. The challenge we address is that of parametrizing unitary matrices in a way that does not require expensive computations (such as eigendecomposition) after each weight update. We construct an expressive unitary weight matrix by composing several structured matrices that act as building blocks with parameters to be learned. Optimization with this parameterization becomes feasible only when considering hidden states in the complex domain. We demonstrate the potential of this architecture by achieving state of the art results in several hard tasks involving very long-term dependencies.
Considering deep sequence learning for practical application, two representative RNNs - LSTM and GRU may come to mind first. Nevertheless, is there no chance for other RNNs? Will there be a better RNN in the future? In this work, we propose a novel, succinct and promising RNN - Fusion Recurrent Neural Network (Fusion RNN). Fusion RNN is composed of Fusion module and Transport module every time step. Fusion module realizes the multi-round fusion of the input and hidden state vector. Transport module which mainly refers to simple recurrent network calculate the hidden state and prepare to pass it to the next time step. Furthermore, in order to evaluate Fusion RNNs sequence feature extraction capability, we choose a representative data mining task for sequence data, estimated time of arrival (ETA) and present a novel model based on Fusion RNN. We contrast our method and other variants of RNN for ETA under massive vehicle travel data from DiDi Chuxing. The results demonstrate that for ETA, Fusion RNN is comparable to state-of-the-art LSTM and GRU which are more complicated than Fusion RNN.
Throughout this paper, we focus on the improvement of the direct feedback alignment (DFA) algorithm and extend the usage of the DFA to convolutional and recurrent neural networks (CNNs and RNNs). Even though the DFA algorithm is biologically plausible and has a potential of high-speed training, it has not been considered as the substitute for back-propagation (BP) due to the low accuracy in the CNN and RNN training. In this work, we propose a new DFA algorithm for BP-level accurate CNN and RNN training. Firstly, we divide the network into several modules and apply the DFA algorithm within the module. Second, the DFA with the sparse backward weight is applied. It comes with a form of dilated convolution in the CNN case, and in a form of sparse matrix multiplication in the RNN case. Additionally, the error propagation method of CNN becomes simpler through the group convolution. Finally, hybrid DFA increases the accuracy of the CNN and RNN training to the BP-level while taking advantage of the parallelism and hardware efficiency of the DFA algorithm.
Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) have been applied to a broad range of applications, including natural language processing, drug discovery, and video recognition. Their vulnerability to input perturbation is also known. Aligning with a view from software defect detection, this paper aims to develop a coverage guided testing approach to systematically exploit the internal behaviour of RNNs, with the expectation that such testing can detect defects with high possibility. Technically, the long short term memory network (LSTM), a major class of RNNs, is thoroughly studied. A family of three test metrics are designed to quantify not only the values but also the temporal relations (including both step-wise and bounded-length) exhibited when LSTM processing inputs. A genetic algorithm is applied to efficiently generate test cases. The test metrics and test case generation algorithm are implemented into a tool TestRNN, which is then evaluated on a set of LSTM benchmarks. Experiments confirm that TestRNN has advantages over the state-of-art tool DeepStellar and attack-based defect detection methods, owing to its working with finer temporal semantics and the consideration of the naturalness of input perturbation. Furthermore, TestRNN enables meaningful information to be collected and exhibited for users to understand the testing results, which is an important step towards interpretable neural network testing.
