Sequence to sequence learning

Many, many NLP problems can be formulated as sequence to sequence tasks. This is a type of task where an input sequence is transformed into another, different output sequence, not necessarily with the same length as the input. To better understand this concept, let's look at some examples:

Machine translation is the most popular type of seq2seq task. The input sequences are the words of a sentence in one language and the output sequences are the words of the same sentence, translated into another language. For example, we can translate the English sequence "Tourist attraction" to the German "Touristenattraktion." Not only is the output sentence a different length – there is no direct correspondence between the elements of the input and output sequences. In particular, one output element corresponds to a combination...

Vasilev

Ivan Vasilev started working on the first open source Java deep learning library with GPU support in 2013. The library was acquired by a German company, with whom he continued its development. He has also worked as a machine learning engineer and researcher in medical image classification and segmentation with deep neural networks. Since 2017, he has focused on financial machine learning. He co-founded an algorithmic trading company, where he's the lead engineer. He holds an MSc in artificial intelligence from Sofia University St. Kliment Ohridski and has written two previous books on the same topic.

Spacagna

Gianmario Spacagna is a senior data scientist at Pirelli, processing sensors and telemetry data for internet of things (IoT) and connected-vehicle applications. He works closely with tire mechanics, engineers, and business units to analyze and formulate hybrid, physics-driven, and data-driven automotive models. His main expertise is in building ML systems and end-to-end solutions for data products. He holds a master's degree in telematics from the Polytechnic of Turin, as well as one in software engineering of distributed systems from KTH, Stockholm. Prior to Pirelli, he worked in retail and business banking (Barclays), cyber security (Cisco), predictive marketing (AgilOne), and did some occasional freelancing.

Zocca

Valentino Zocca has a PhD degree and graduated with a Laurea in mathematics from the University of Maryland, USA, and University of Rome, respectively, and spent a semester at the University of Warwick. He started working on high-tech projects of an advanced stereo 3D Earth visualization software with head tracking at Autometric, a company later bought by Boeing. There he developed many mathematical algorithms and predictive models, and using Hadoop he automated several satellite-imagery visualization programs. He has worked as an independent consultant at the U.S. Census Bureau, in the USA and in Italy. Currently, Valentino lives in New York and works as an independent consultant to a large financial company.

Daniel Slater

Daniel Slater started programming at age 11, developing mods for the id Software game Quake. His obsession led him to become a developer working in the gaming industry on the hit computer game series Championship Manager. He then moved into finance, working on risk- and high-performance messaging systems. He now is a staff engineer working on big data at Skimlinks to understand online user behavior. He spends his spare time training AI to beat computer games. He talks at tech conferences about deep learning and reinforcement learning; and the name of his blog is Daniel Slater's blog. His work in this field has been cited by Google.
