Plug and Play Language Models: A Simple Approach to Controlled Text Generation

ICLR 2020poster

Large transformer-based language models (LMs) trained on huge text corpora have shown unparalleled generation capabilities. However, controlling attributes of the generated language (e.g. switching topic or sentiment) is difficult without modifying the model architecture or fine-tuning on attribute-…

Metropolis-Hastings Generative Adversarial Networks

ICML 2019oral

We introduce the Metropolis-Hastings generative adversarial network (MH-GAN), which combines aspects of Markov chain Monte Carlo and GANs. The MH-GAN draws samples from the distribution implicitly defined by a GAN’s discriminator-generator pair, as opposed to standard GANs which draw samples from th…

An intriguing failing of convolutional neural networks and the CoordConv solution

NeurIPS 2018poster

Few ideas have enjoyed as large an impact on deep learning as convolution. For any problem involving pixels or spatial representations, common intuition holds that convolutional neural networks may be appropriate. In this paper we show a striking counterexample to this intuition via the seemingly tr…
