LATAM Faculty Summit 2016: Artificial Intelligence – Microsoft Perspectives
Given the investment and evidence of progress in Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the last five years, some suggest that it is merely a matter of time until AI matches, complements or surpasses, human intelligence. Artificial…
Neural Phrase-based Machine Translation
Neural Phrase-based Machine Translation (NPMT) explicitly models the phrase structures in output sequences using Sleep-WAke Networks (SWAN), a recently proposed segmentation-based sequence modeling method. To mitigate the monotonic alignment requirement of SWAN, we introduce a…
