Training Matters: Unlocking Potentials of Deeper Graph Convolutional Neural Networks

no code implementations20 Aug 2020 Sitao Luan, Mingde Zhao, Xiao-Wen Chang, Doina Precup

The performance limit of Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) and the fact that we cannot stack more of them to increase the performance, which we usually do for other deep learning paradigms, are pervasively thought to be caused by the limitations of the GCN layers, including insufficient expressive power, etc.

Exploring Overall Contextual Information for Image Captioning in Human-Like Cognitive Style

no code implementations ICCV 2019 Hongwei Ge, Zehang Yan, Kai Zhang, Mingde Zhao, Liang Sun

In the training process, the forward and backward LSTMs encode the succeeding and preceding words into their respective hidden states by simultaneously constructing the whole sentence in a complementary manner.

META-Learning State-based Eligibility Traces for More Sample-Efficient Policy Evaluation

2 code implementations25 Apr 2019 Mingde Zhao, Sitao Luan, Ian Porada, Xiao-Wen Chang, Doina Precup

Temporal-Difference (TD) learning is a standard and very successful reinforcement learning approach, at the core of both algorithms that learn the value of a given policy, as well as algorithms which learn how to improve policies.
