Transformer-XL: Attentive Language Models Beyond a Fixed-Length Context
['Zihang Dai', 'Zhilin Yang', 'Yiming Yang', 'Jaime Carbonell', 'Quoc V. Le', 'Ruslan Salakhutdinov']
['cs.LG', 'cs.CL', 'stat.ML']
Transformers have a potential of learning longer-term dependency, but are limited by a fixed-length context in the setting of language modeling. We propose a novel neural architecture Transformer-XL that enables learning dependency beyond a fixed length without disrupting temporal coherence. It consists of a segment-le...

A key technical challenge in performing 6D object pose estimation from RGB-D image is to fully leverage the two complementary data sources. Prior works either extract information from the RGB image and depth separately or use costly post-processing steps, limiting their performances in highly cluttered scenes and real-...

CutMix: Regularization Strategy to Train Strong Classifiers with Localizable Features
['Sangdoo Yun', 'Dongyoon Han', 'Seong Joon Oh', 'Sanghyuk Chun', 'Junsuk Choe', 'Youngjoon Yoo']

Regional dropout strategies have been proposed to enhance the performance of convolutional neural network classifiers. They have proved to be effective for guiding the model to attend on less discriminative parts of objects (e.g. leg as opposed to head of a person), thereby letting the network generalize better and hav...

How to Fine-Tune BERT for Text Classification?
['Chi Sun', 'Xipeng Qiu', 'Yige Xu', 'Xuanjing Huang']

Language model pre-training has proven to be useful in learning universal language representations. As a state-of-the-art language model pre-training model, BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) has achieved amazing results in many language understanding tasks. In this paper, we conduct exhaust...

Learning meters of Arabic and English poems with Recurrent Neural Networks: a step forward for language understanding and synthesis
['Waleed A. Yousef', 'Omar M. Ibrahime', 'Taha M. Madbouly', 'Moustafa A. Mahmoud']

Recognizing a piece of writing as a poem or prose is usually easy for the majority of people; however, only specialists can determine which meter a poem belongs to. In this paper, we build Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) models that can classify poems according to their meters from plain text. The input text is encoded ...
