Non-Uniform Stochastic Average Gradient Method for Training Conditional Random Fields

2015 · arXiv (Cornell University)

We apply stochastic average gradient (SAG) algorithms for training conditional random fields (CRFs). We describe a practical implementation that uses structure in the CRF gradient to reduce the memory requirement of this linearly-convergent stochastic gradient …

Sockeye: A Toolkit for Neural Machine Translation

2017 · arXiv (Cornell University)

We describe Sockeye (version 1.12), an open-source sequence-to-sequence toolkit for Neural Machine Translation (NMT). Sockeye is a production-ready framework for training and applying models as well as an experimental platform for researchers. Written in Python …
