Convolutional sequence-to-sequence learning with multi-step attention

Contribution grade

Neural machine translation · Human-designed research method or resource

Reference score130,000Provisional editorial estimate of this exact contribution; its grade is assessed separately.

What changed

Used residual gated convolutions for source and target sequence representations, with separate attention at decoder layers and parallel computation across training positions.

Scientific scope

Used residual gated convolutions for source and target sequence representations, with separate attention at decoder layers and parallel computation across training positions. Training parallelism does not remove autoregressive dependencies during generation. GLUs, residual learning, convolutions and attention are inherited components. Benchmarked speed/quality improvements are not a universal advantage over recurrent or Transformer models.

Evidence

The linked original sources describe the stated contribution and its evidence limits. WRS has not independently rerun the experiments or certified a proof. Training parallelism does not remove autoregressive dependencies during generation. GLUs, residual learning, convolutions and attention are inherited components. Benchmarked speed/quality improvements are not a universal advantage over recurrent or Transformer models.
