The Morning Paper

One Model to Learn Them All: In this post, the author summarize a paper which introduces a MultiModel general deep learning framework which will train 8 tasks at the same time (Image recognition, Image caption generation, Speech recognition, Parsing, German/French to English Translation and their reverse English to German/French translation). MultiModel consists an encoder / decoder architecture which would share a common learning unit. It also consists of a mixture-of-expert layer to dispatch the learning efforts. The article referred in this post shows that training such mixed model doesn't pose any performance degradation problem and sometimes help the task with less data available (parsing). This might imply a much larger scale or cross-domain transfer or multi-tasking learning experiment could be done in the future. This article also points out even though the computational building blocks need to be present for some specific domain (convolution neural network for image and attention / mixture-of-expert for language model), their presence does not interfere the cability of learning other tasks in different domains.

(RW: From the first glimpse of this short summary, the article referred in this post doesn't show any convincing result that cross-domain training does work by showing how much different these domains are. It just iterate similar conclusion from past experiments. Does Image caption take on the role to bridge image and language domain? How about choosing tasks randomly to break the MultiModel in order to know the degree of correlaiton shared among models? Would a sub-model which is trained insufficiently take the whole unified model down? I think those questions might shed some light about cross-domain learning)
