Lecture:
Memory Networks and attention
Abstract:
Neural networks with memory capabilities have been introduced to solve several machine learning problems which require to model sequential data such as time series.
The most common models are RNN, LSTM and their variants. More recently, alternative solutions namely Transformers and Memory Augmented
Neural Networks have been suggested with distinguishing characteristics.
The former directly compares the elements in the input sequence through self-attention mechanisms. The latter uses an external element-wise addressable memory. The course compares and presents these new memory networks models and their applications.
