1. Pointing the Unknown Words (2016 · 651 citations)
   Neural sequence models usually generate words from a fixed shortlist of frequent tokens, so rare items such as named entities are either poorly learned or collapsed into UNK.
2. Hierarchical Multiscale Recurrent Neural Networks (2016 · 288 citations)
   Recurrent networks have long struggled to learn representations that are both temporal and hierarchical. Earlier multiscale RNNs either fixed each layer's update rate in advance or needed explicit segment boundaries, such as word tokenization. Chung, Ahn and Bengio propose the hierarchical multiscale RNN (HM-RNN)…
3. A Neural Knowledge Language Model (2016 · 146 citations)
   Conventional neural language models are poor at conveying factual knowledge. Names of people, places, and dates occur rarely in a corpus. As a result, the model either lacks such words in its vocabulary or substitutes the <unk> token for them. The authors propose the Neural Knowledge Language Model (NKLM), an…
