One such effort extends convolutional networks to encompass long-term, large-scale memory subsystems. Distinct from strategies that connect neural networks to external memory banks via intricately crafted controllers and hand-designed attention mechanisms, our memory is internal, distributed, co-located alongside computation, and implicitly addressed, while being drastically simpler than prior methods. Another effort accelerates training using an approach that unifies network pruning and architecture search by augmenting a network with learned parameters governing sparsification. I will discuss the potential for additional advances that may arise from the combination of these techniques.</span></font></div><br class=""></div><div class=""><font color="#212121" class=""><span class="" style="font-size: 15px;"><br class=""></span></font></div><div class=""><div class=""><font class=""><span class=""><div class="" style="font-variant-ligatures: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><div class=""><font class="" style="font-size: 15px;"><b class="" style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33);">Bio: </b></font><span class="" style="font-size: 15px;">Michael Maire is an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Chicago.
