talks
Multi-Task Machine Learning
Published:
I will talk about multi-task learning methods and some recent works in deep learning.
Context Attentive Document Ranking and Query Suggestion
Published:
In this talk, I will introduce a Context Attentive Document Ranking and Query Suggestion Model based on a two-level hierarchical recurrent neural network to learn search context representation of individual queries, search tasks, and corresponding dependency structure.
