From Deterministic to Generative: Multimodal Stochastic RNNs for Video Captioning

Video captioning, in essential, is a complex natural process, which is affected by various uncertainties stemming from video content, subjective judgment, and so on. In this paper, we build on the recent progress in using encoder-decoder framework for video captioning and address what we find to be a critical deficiency of the existing...

HAS-RL: A Hierarchical Approximate Scheme Optimized With Reinforcement Learning for NoC-Based NN Accelerators

Network-on-Chip (NoC) is a scalable on-chip communication architecture for the NN accelerator, but with the increase in the number of nodes, the communication delay becomes higher. Applications such as machine learning have a certain resilience to noisy/erroneous transmitted data. Therefore, approximate communication becomes a promising solution...
