Neural Turing Machines - Week 5

Neural Turing Machines - Week 5

Sumedh Ghaisas, 06 July 2017

No major contribution from me in this as I was mostly sick due to bad weather. Fixed couple of bugs in GRU PR and wrote forward and gradients tests for it. I am lacking benhind on NTM implementation which is the major part of my project so I will be working on that before I complete the tests for Batch Normalization. This will allow me to complete NTM on time and I can use the time while running experiments on NTM to actually complete batch normalization. Cause running exeriments on NTM is going to be a lengthy process. I have couple of weeks dedicated to that.

NTM will be implemented as a part of RNN framework. Extra layer of memory unit will be added which will deal with memory operations. I am comcentrating on implementing memory unit for now. I am almost done except for the part of implementing circular convolution. I am not able to decide between implementations there. Hopefully I will figure that out soon.
