Automatic Evaluation of Generated Summaries
Looking for an automated way to assess the quality of your generated summaries? The authors of this paper generate a bunch of questions based off of a source text, and then ask those questions using the generated text as the database. If the information is found in both, then the generated text can be said to be a good representation of the source text. Seems reasonable to me. I might try it for this site.
Recursive Models Write Programs
A program that writes programs needs recursion is the conclusion of this new paper. The authors take several standard programming tasks and propose a model architecture that proves it has perfect generalizability with small amounts of training data.
End to End Module Networks
Visual Q&A models are incredibly useful, but many of them are still fragile. This paper proposes an end-to-end solution that does away with parsers while reducing errors by almost 50%. Holy cow, batman.

General Approach to Real World Text Extraction
Breakthrough on the French Street Names dataset. This paper boasts a huge improvement over previous state-of-the-art models including Inception V3 and Inception Resnet V2. And since that wasn’t hard enough, they also tested it against Google Street View, cause it’s all like nbd.
MAGAN, Better than BEGAN
What’s better than BEGAN? MAGAN! Or at least that’s what the authors of this paper are saying. They are probably right because a) they have a simpler setup and b) they use public datasets so their work is reproducible. Plus they are promising to release the code on Github in the near future.
3d Point Cloud Dataset and Benchmark
New 3d point cloud dataset and benchmark with semantic labels. Should be a lot of use to people doing AR. They did a nice job with the benchmark too, and have an automated submission process with a public leaderboard.

New SOTA for VQA 1.0
There’s a lot of research around VQA right now. This new paper gets a new state-of-the-art on VQA 1, an improvement of 0.4%. It’s by a small margin, but it’s also using a simpler architecture.
Autoencode Your Networks
Autoencoding for networks. Struc2Vec gives you a new way to view and understand your networks.
Adversarial Attack Prevention
New paper out of Stanford, Pennsylvania State and Google Brain delves into what happens when a ML model is attacked, and how to incorporate robustness. It’s an interesting read in an interesting space.

Build a Pong Simulator
Not just for pong, this paper simulates environments from 2d Atari games to 3d racing sims. It has DQN Scores on a bunch of games (and goes into high detail on how they got those scores), but they don’t explicitly compare those score with current state-of-the-art.
Predicting Recomendations with TransNets
Building a recommendation engine? This paper gets a new state-of-the-art on ratings predictions. Show your users what they want to see.

Use Machine Learning to Write Your Code For You
I am looking forward to the day when I can write a model that writes models for me. Maybe someone will turn it into an API and I won’t have to write anything. This paper gets us another step closer. Working with Python and other high-level languages, they have a new state of the art in code generation.
Weakly Supervised Fine-Grained Classifications
Telling the difference between various types of red sedans or crows is hard for humans, let alone neural nets. This paper does it better and cheaper.
Automatic Question Generation
Looking for ways to generate a FAQ from your docs? This paper points to a potential direction.

Better Faster Segmentation
The next time we do a Kaggle comptition we’ll try this technique. When working on an image segmentation problem, it’s those last couple pixels around the edges that make all the difference in your mIoU.
