[Q]: Fully connected network has been widely used in deep learning, and its computation efficiency is highly benefited from the matrix multiplication algorithm with cuBLAS on GPU. However, We found that, there exist some drawbacks of cuBLAS in calculating matrix A multiplies the transpose of matrix B (i.e., NT operation). To reduce the impact of NT operation by cuBLAS, we exploit the out-of-place transpose of matrix B to avoid using NT operation, and then we apply our method to Caffe, which is a popular deep learning tool. Our contribution is two-fold. First, we propose a naive method (TNN) and model-based method (MTNN) to increase the performance in calculating A × B , and it achieves about 4.7 times performance enhancement in our tested cases on GTX1080 card. Second, we integrate MTNN method into Caffe to enhance the efficiency in training fully connected networks, which achieves about 70% speedup compared to the original Caffe in our configured fully connected networks on GTX1080 card.

[Q]: This paper presents an empirical study of two widely-used sequence prediction models, Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) and Long Short-Term Memory Networks (LSTMs), on two fundamental tasks for Vietnamese text processing, including part-of-speech tagging and named entity recognition. We show that a strong lower bound for labeling accuracy can be obtained by relying only on simple word-based features with minimal handcrafted feature engineering, of 90.65% and 86.03% performance scores on the standard test sets for the two tasks respectively. In particular, we demonstrate empirically the surprising efficiency of word embeddings in both of the two tasks, with both of the two models. We point out that the state-of-the-art LSTMs model does not always outperform significantly the traditional CRFs model, especially on moderate-sized data sets. Finally, we give some suggestions and discussions for efficient use of sequence labeling models in practical applications.

[Q]: In data analysis, latent variables play a central role because they help provide powerful insights into a wide variety of phenomena, ranging from biological to human sciences. The latent tree model, a particular type of probabilistic graphical models, deserves attention. Its simple structure a tree allows simple and efficient inference, while its latent variables capture complex relationships. In the past decade, the latent tree model has been subject to significant theoretical and methodological developments. In this review, we propose a comprehensive study of this model. First we summarize key ideas underlying the model. Second we explain how it can be efficiently learned from data. Third we illustrate its use within three types of applications: latent structure discovery, multidimensional clustering, and probabilistic inference. Finally, we conclude and give promising directions for future researches in this field.
