- Semi-supervised learning (SSL) based on deep neural networks have recently proven successful on standard benchmark tasks. Baselines which do not use unlabeled data is often underreported, SSL methods differ in sensitivity to the amount of labeled and unlabeled data, and performance can degrade substantially when the unlabeled dataset contains out-of- distribution examples. To help guide SSL research towards real-world applicability, we make our unified reimplemention and evaluation platform publicly available.Apr 24, 2018

- Articles proposes a new simple network architecture, the Transformer, based solely on attention mechanisms, dispensing with recurrence and convolutions entirely. The model achieves 28.4 BLEU on the WMT 2014 English- to-German translation task, improving over the existing best results, including ensembles, by over 2 BLEU. The Transformer also generalizes well to other tasks.Dec 15, 2017

- Popular models that learn word representations ignore the morphology of words, by assigning a distinct vector to each word. Article proposes a new approach based on the skipgram model, where each word is represented as a bag of character n-grams. A vector representation is associated to each character n-gram; words being represented as the sum of these representations.Jun 19, 2017

- Deeper neural networks are more difficult to train. We present a residual learning framework to ease the training of networks that are substantially deeper than those used previously. We explicitly reformulate the layers as learning residual functions with reference to the layer inputs, instead of learning unreferenced functions. Solely due to our extremely deep representations, we obtain a 28% relative improvement on the COCO object detection dataset.Dec 10, 2015

- From the evolutionary perspective, one cannot directly sum micro into macro. Instead, an economic system can be conceived as a set of meso units, where each meso consists of a rule and its population of actualizations. The proper analytical structure of evolutionary economics is in terms of micro–meso–macro. The upshot is an ontologically coherent framework for analysis of economic evolution as a growth of knowledge process.Jul 15, 2004
