Part 2. Example
We propose a local coherence model based on a convolutional neural network that operates over the entity grid representation of a text. The model captures long range entity transitions along with entity-specific features without loosing generalization, thanks to the power of distributed representation. We present a pairwise ranking method to train the model in an end-to-end fashion on a task and learn task-specific high level features. Our evaluation on three different coherence assessment tasks demonstrates that our model achieves state of the art results outperforming existing models by a good margin.
Answer: A Neural Local Coherence Model
Explanation: This statement "A Neural Local Coherence Model" is taken from the subtext "convolutional neural network" and its explanation in the passage. This is a positive example because the title belongs to the mentions in the passage
Part 3. Exercise
The activation function of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) has undergone many changes during the last decades. Since the advent of the well-known non-saturated Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU), many have tried to further improve the performance of the networks with more elaborate functions. Examples are the Leaky ReLU (LReLU) to remove zero gradients and Exponential Linear Unit (ELU) to reduce bias shift. In this paper, we introduce the Parametric ELU (PELU), an adaptive activation function that allows the DNNs to adopt different non-linear behaviors throughout the training phase. We contribute in three ways: (1) we show that PELU increases the network flexibility to counter vanishing gradient, (2) we provide a gradient-based optimization framework to learn the parameters of the function, and (3) we conduct several experiments on MNIST, CIFAR-10/100 and ImageNet with different network architectures, such as NiN, Overfeat, All-CNN, ResNet and Vgg, to demonstrate the general applicability of the approach. Our proposed PELU has shown relative error improvements of 4.45% and 5.68% on CIFAR10 and 100, and as much as 7.28% with only 0.0003% parameter increase on ImageNet, along with faster convergence rate in almost all test scenarios. We also observed that Vgg using PELU tended to prefer activations saturating close to zero, as in ReLU, except at last layer, which saturated near -2. These results suggest that varying the shape of the activations during training along with the other parameters helps to control vanishing gradients and bias shift, thus facilitating learning.
