Journal Club: Neural Machine Translation

​Overview

​Part of our fortnightly series of paper reading sessions.

​We're reading Neural Machine Translation by Jointly Learning to Align and Translate (Bahdanau, Cho and Bengio, 2014), the paper that added attention to the encoder-decoder we read last time, and the mechanism the transformer was later built around. Read it before you come: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1409.0473

​How the session works

​This is not a walkthrough. We'll split into small groups to work through a set of questions, then regroup for answers and an open discussion.

​Who is this for

​Experienced software engineers. You don't need a research background, though you'll get more out of the evening if you're comfortable with the basics of neural networks. You don't need to have come to the first session.

​What to bring

​The paper, read beforehand. You won't need a laptop.

​​​​Access information:

​Please ring the Founders and Coders bell. The space is wheelchair accessible and has a lift. Our toilets are fully accessible.

​If you have any specific access needs, please let us know when you sign up and we'll do our best to help.
