Mesh-TensorFlow: Deep Learning for Supercomputers

Noam Shazeer, Youlong Cheng, Niki Parmar +9

Batch-splitting (data-parallelism) is the dominant distributed Deep Neural Network (DNN) training strategy, due to its universal applicability and its amenability to Single-Program…

Weakly Supervised Grammatical Error Correction using Iterative Decoding

Jared Lichtarge, Christopher Alberti, Shankar Kumar +2

We describe an approach to Grammatical Error Correction (GEC) that is effective at making use of models trained on large amounts of weakly supervised bitext. We train the Transform…

The Best of Both Worlds: Combining Recent Advances in Neural Machine Translation

Mia Xu Chen, Orhan Firat, Ankur Bapna +9

The past year has witnessed rapid advances in sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) modeling for Machine Translation (MT). The classic RNN-based approaches to MT were first out-performed…
