Example Input: The domain of time-series forecasting has been extensively studied because it is of fundamental importance in many real-life applications. Weather prediction, traffic flow forecasting or sales are compelling examples of sequential phenomena. Predictive models generally make use of the relations between past and future values. However, in the case of stationary time-series, observed values also drastically depend on a number of exogenous features that can be used to improve forecasting quality. In this work, we propose a change of paradigm which consists in learning such features in embeddings vectors within recurrent neural networks. We apply our framework to forecast smart cards tap-in logs in the Parisian subway network. Results show that context-embedded models perform quantitatively better in one-step ahead and multi-step ahead forecasting.
Example Output: In order to forecast multivariate stationary time-series we learn embeddings containing contextual features within a RNN; we apply the framework on public transportation data

Example Input: The Variational Auto Encoder (VAE) is a popular generative 
latent variable model that is often 
applied for representation learning.
 Standard VAEs assume continuous valued 
latent variables and are trained by maximization
of the evidence lower bound (ELBO). Conventional methods obtain a 
differentiable estimate of the ELBO with reparametrized sampling and
optimize it with Stochastic Gradient Descend (SGD). However, this is not possible if 
we want to train VAEs with discrete valued latent variables, 
since reparametrized sampling is not possible. Till now, there
exist no simple solutions to circumvent this problem.
 In this paper, we propose an easy method to train VAEs 
with binary or categorically valued latent representations. Therefore, we use a differentiable
estimator for the ELBO which is based on importance sampling. In experiments, we verify the approach and
train two different VAEs architectures with Bernoulli and 
Categorically distributed latent representations on two different benchmark
datasets.	
Example Output: We propose an easy method to train Variational Auto Encoders (VAE) with discrete latent representations, using importance sampling

Example Input: Deep learning models can be efficiently optimized via stochastic gradient descent, but there is little theoretical evidence to support this. A key question in optimization is to understand when the optimization landscape of a neural network is amenable to gradient-based optimization. We focus on a simple neural network two-layer ReLU network with two hidden units, and show that all local minimizers are global. This combined with recent work of Lee et al. (2017); Lee et al. (2016) show that  gradient descent converges to the global minimizer.
Example Output:
Recovery guarantee of stochastic gradient descent with random initialization for learning a two-layer neural network with two hidden nodes, unit-norm weights, ReLU activation functions and Gaussian inputs.
