During the last couple of years, Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) have reached state-of-the-art performances on most of the sequence modelling problems. In particular, the sequence to sequence model and the neural CRF have proved to be very effective in this domain. In this article, we propose a new RNN architecture for sequence labelling, leveraging gated recurrent layers to take arbitrarily long contexts into account, and using two decoders operating forward and backward. We compare several variants of the proposed solution and their performances to the state-of-the-art. Most of our results are better than the state-of-the-art or very close to it and thanks to the use of recent technologies, our architecture can scale on corpora larger than those used in this work.

In this paper we study different types of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) for sequence labeling tasks. We propose two new variants of RNNs integrating improvements for sequence labeling, and we compare them to the more traditional Elman and Jordan RN Ns. We compare all models, either traditional or new, on four distinct tasks of sequence labeling: two on Spoken Language Understanding (ATIS and MEDIA); and two of POS tagging for the French Treebank (FTB) and the Penn Treebank (PTB) corpora. The results show that our new variants of RNNs are always more effective than the others.
In sequence to sequence generation tasks (e.g. machine translation and abstractive summarization), inference is generally performed in a left-to-right manner to produce the result token by token. The neural approaches, such as LSTM and self-attention networks, are now able to make full use of all the predicted history hypotheses from left side during inference, but cannot meanwhile access any future (right side) information and usually generate unbalanced outputs in which left parts are much more accurate than right ones. In this work, we propose a synchronous bidirectional inference model to generate outputs using both left-to-right and right-to-left decoding simultaneously and interactively. First, we introduce a novel beam search algorithm that facilitates synchronous bidirectional decoding. Then, we present the core approach which enables left-to-right and right-to-left decoding to interact with each other, so as to utilize both the history and future predictions simultaneously during inference. We apply the proposed model to both LSTM and self-attention networks. In addition, we propose two strategies for parameter optimization. The extensive experiments on machine translation and abstractive summarization demonstrate that our synchronous bidirectional inference model can achieve remarkable improvements over the strong baselines.
Recurrent neural networks (RNN) are at the core of modern automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems. In particular, long-short term memory (LSTM) recurrent neural networks have achieved state-of-the-art results in many speech recognition tasks, due to their efficient representation of long and short term dependencies in sequences of inter-dependent features. Nonetheless, internal dependencies within the element composing multidimensional features are weakly considered by traditional real-valued representations. We propose a novel quaternion long-short term memory (QLSTM) recurrent neural network that takes into account both the external relations between the features composing a sequence, and these internal latent structural dependencies with the quaternion algebra. QLSTMs are compared to LSTMs during a memory copy-task and a realistic application of speech recognition on the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) dataset. QLSTM reaches better performances during the two experiments with up to $2.8$ times less learning parameters, leading to a more expressive representation of the information.
Recurrent neural networks have proved to be an effective method for statistical language modeling. However, in practice their memory and run-time complexity are usually too large to be implemented in real-time offline mobile applications. In this pap er we consider several compression techniques for recurrent neural networks including Long-Short Term Memory models. We make particular attention to the high-dimensional output problem caused by the very large vocabulary size. We focus on effective compression methods in the context of their exploitation on devices: pruning, quantization, and matrix decomposition approaches (low-rank factorization and tensor train decomposition, in particular). For each model we investigate the trade-off between its size, suitability for fast inference and perplexity. We propose a general pipeline for applying the most suitable methods to compress recurrent neural networks for language modeling. It has been shown in the experimental study with the Penn Treebank (PTB) dataset that the most efficient results in terms of speed and compression-perplexity balance are obtained by matrix decomposition techniques.
A popular strategy to train recurrent neural networks (RNNs), known as ``teacher forcing takes the ground truth as input at each time step and makes the later predictions partly conditioned on those inputs. Such training strategy impairs their abilit y to learn rich distributions over entire sequences because the chosen inputs hinders the gradients back-propagating to all previous states in an end-to-end manner. We propose a fully differentiable training algorithm for RNNs to better capture long-term dependencies by recovering the probability of the whole sequence. The key idea is that at each time step, the network takes as input a ``bundle of similar words predicted at the previous step instead of a single ground truth. The representations of these similar words forms a convex hull, which can be taken as a kind of regularization to the input. Smoothing the inputs by this way makes the whole process trainable and differentiable. This design makes it possible for the model to explore more feasible combinations (possibly unseen sequences), and can be interpreted as a computationally efficient approximation to the beam search. Experiments on multiple sequence generation tasks yield performance improvements, especially in sequence-level metrics, such as BLUE or ROUGE-2.
