We propose a novel way to deal with the rare and unseen words for the neural network models using attention. Our model uses two softmax layers in order to predict the next word in conditional language models: one predicts the location of a word in the source sentence, and the other predicts a word in the shortlist vocabulary. At each timestep, the decision of which softmax layer to use is adaptively made by an MLP which is conditioned on the context. We motivate this work from a psychological evidence that humans naturally have a tendency to point towards objects in the context or the environment when the name of an object is not known. Using our proposed model, we observe improvements on two tasks, neural machine translation on the Europarl English to French parallel corpora and text summarization on the Gigaword dataset.",

The first problem, which is known as the rare word problem, is that some of the words in the shortlist occur less frequently in the training set and thus are difficult to learn a good representation, resulting in poor performance. Second, it is obvious that we can lose some important information by mapping different words to a single dummy token UNK. Even if we have a very large shortlist including all unique words in the training set, it does not necessarily improve the test performance, because there still exists a chance to see an unknown word at test time. This is known as the unknown word problem. In addition, increasing the shortlist size mostly leads to increasing rare words due to Zipf's Law.",

The basic idea is that we can see many NLP problems as a task of predicting target text given context text, where some of the target words appear in the context as well. We observe that in this case we can make the model learn to point a word in the context and copy it to the target text, as well as when to point. For example, in machine translation, we can see the source sentence as the context, and the target sentence as what we need to predict. In Figure 1 , we show an example depiction of how words can be copied from source to target in machine translation. Although the source and target languages are different, many of the words such as named entities are usually represented by the same characters in both languages, making it possible to copy. Similarly, in text summarization, it is natural to use some words in the original text in the summarized text as well.",

The model learns this decision so as to use the pointing only when the context includes a word that can be copied to the target. This way, our model can predict even the words which are not in the shortlist, as long as it appears in the context. Although some of the words still need to be labeled as UNK, i.e., if it is neither in the shortlist nor in the context, in experiments we show that this learning when and where to point improves the performance in machine translation and text summarization.

However, its applicability is rather limited because, unlike our model, there is no option to choose whether to point or not; it always points. In this sense, we can see the pointer networks as a special case of our model where we always choose to point a context word.",

We use l t the encoder's hidden state to obtain the context c t . The decoder uses c t to predict a vector of probabilities for the words w t by using softmax. applicable approach to many NLP tasks, because it resolves the limitations about unknown words for neural networks. It can be used in parallel with other existing techniques such as the large vocabulary trick (Jean et al., 2014) . Our model learns two key abilities jointly to make the pointing mechanism applicable in more general settings: (i) to predict whether it is required to use the pointing or not at each time step and (ii) to point any location of the context sequence whose length can vary widely over examples. Note that the pointer networks are in lack of the ability (i), and the ability (ii) is not achieved in the models by (Luong et al., 2015) .",

Otherwise, if it is expected that the context sequence contains a word which needs to be generated at the time step, we obtain the location of the context word l t from the location softmax. The key to making this possible is deciding when to use the shortlist softmax or the lo-cation softmax at each time step. In order to accomplish this, we introduce a switching network to the model. The switching network, which is a multilayer perceptron in our experiments, takes the representation of the context sequence (similar to the input annotation in NMT) and the previous hidden state of the output RNN as its input. It outputs a binary variable z t which indicates whether to use the shortlist softmax (when z t = 1) or the location softmax (when z t = 0). Note that if the word that is expected to be generated at each timestep is neither in the shortlist nor in the context sequence, the switching network selects the shortlist softmax, and then the shortlist softmax predicts UNK. The details of the pointer softmax model can be seen in Figure 3 as Figure 3 : A simple depiction of the Pointer Softmax(PS) architecture. At each timestep as usuall t , c t and the w t for the words over the limited vocabulary(shortlist) is being generated. We have an additional switching variable z t that decides whether to use w t or copy the word from the input via l t . The final word prediction will be performed via pointer softmax f t which can either copy the word from the source or predict the word from the shortlist vocabulary.",

If the word is not in the short-list vocabulary, we first check if the word y t itself appears in the source sentence. If it is not, we check if the word itself is in the source sentence by using the shared words lookup table for the source and the target language. If the word is in the source sentence, we then use the location of the word in the source as the target.

By doing a very simple mod- ification over the NMT, our model is able to generalize to the unseen words and can deal with rarewords more efficiently. For the summarization task on Gigaword dataset, the pointer softmax was able to improve the results even when it is used together with the large-vocabulary trick. In the case of neural machine translation, we observed that the training with the pointer softmax is also improved the convergence speed of the model as well. For French to English machine translation on Europarl corpora, we observe that using the pointer softmax can also improve the training convergence of the model.",
