Grant Activity:
Small Scalable Natural Language Models using Explicit Memory
Purpose:
Deep neural networks have had spectacular success in natural language processing, seeing wide-spread deployment as part of automatic assistant devices in homes and cars, and across many valuable industries including finance, medicine and law. Fueling this success is the use of ever larger models, with exponentially increasing training resources, accompanying hardware and energy demands. This project aims to develop more compact models, based on the incorporation of an explicit searchable memory, which will dramatically reduce model size, hardware requirements and energy usage. This will make modern natural language processing more accessible, while also providing greater flexibility, allowing for more adaptable and portable technologies.
