ODE Transformer: An Ordinary Differential Equation-Inspired Model for Sequence Generation

ACL 2022long

Residual networks are an Euler discretization of solutions to Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE). This paper explores a deeper relationship between Transformer and numerical ODE methods. We first show that a residual block of layers in Transformer can be described as a higher-order solution to OD…

Learning Light-Weight Translation Models from Deep Transformer

AAAI 2021technical

Recently, deep models have shown tremendous improvements in neural machine translation (NMT). However, systems of this kind are computationally expensive and memory intensive. In this paper, we take a natural step towards learning strong but light-weight NMT systems. We proposed a novel group-permut…

Weight Distillation: Transferring the Knowledge in Neural Network Parameters

ACL 2021long

Knowledge distillation has been proven to be effective in model acceleration and compression. It transfers knowledge from a large neural network to a small one by using the large neural network predictions as targets of the small neural network. But this way ignores the knowledge inside the large ne…

A Simple and Effective Approach to Robust Unsupervised Bilingual Dictionary Induction

COLING 2020main

Unsupervised Bilingual Dictionary Induction methods based on the initialization and the self-learning have achieved great success in similar language pairs, e.g., English-Spanish. But they still fail and have an accuracy of 0% in many distant language pairs, e.g., English-Japanese. In this work, we…
