Gated Orthogonal Recurrent Units: On Learning to Forget
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a novel recurrent neural network (RNN) architecture that combines the remembering ability of unitary RNNs with the ability of gated RNNs to effectively forget redundant information in the input sequence. We achieve this by extending Unitary RNNs with a gating mechanism. Our model is able to outperform LSTMs, GRUs and Unitary RNNs on different benchmark tasks, as the ability to simultaneously remember long term dependencies and forget irrelevant information in the input sequence helps with many natural long term sequential tasks such as language modeling and question answering. We provide competitive results along with an analysis of our model on the bAbI Question Answering task, PennTreeBank, as well as synthetic tasks that involve long-term dependencies such as parenthesis, denoising and copying tasks.

C an Recurrent Neural Networks Warp Time ?
Successful recurrent models such as long short-term memories (LSTMs) and gated recurrent units (GRUs) use ad hoc gating mechanisms. Empirically these models have been found to improve the learning of medium to long term temporal dependencies and to help with vanishing gradient issues. We prove that learnable gates in a recurrent model formally provide quasiinvariance to general time transformat...
متن کاملAcoustic Modeling Using Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Convolutional Units
Convolutional and bidirectional recurrent neural networks have achieved considerable performance gains as acoustic models in automatic speech recognition in recent years. Latest architectures unify long short-term memory, gated recurrent unit and convolutional neural networks by stacking these different neural network types on each other, and providing short and long-term features to different ...
متن کاملGated Feedback Recurrent Neural Networks
In this work, we propose a novel recurrent neural network (RNN) architecture. The proposed RNN, gated-feedback RNN (GF-RNN), extends the existing approach of stacking multiple recurrent layers by allowing and controlling signals flowing from upper recurrent layers to lower layers using a global gating unit for each pair of layers. The recurrent signals exchanged between layers are gated adaptiv...
متن کاملStorytelling of Photo Stream with Bidirectional Multi-thread Recurrent Neural Network
Visual storytelling aims to generate human-level narrative language (i.e., a natural paragraph with multiple sentences) from a photo streams. A typical photo story consists of a global timeline with multi-thread local storylines, where each storyline occurs in one different scene. Such complex structure leads to large content gaps at scene transitions between consecutive photos. Most existing i...
متن کاملCortical microcircuits as gated-recurrent neural networks
Cortical circuits exhibit intricate recurrent architectures that are remarkably similar across different brain areas. Such stereotyped structure suggests the existence of common computational principles. However, such principles have remained largely elusive. Inspired by gated-memory networks, namely long short-term memory networks (LSTMs), we introduce a recurrent neural network in which infor...
