  • Patent number: 12271817
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating an output sequence from an input sequence. One of the methods includes, at each of a plurality of generation time steps: generating a combined sequence for the generation time step that includes the input sequence followed by the output tokens that have already been generated as of the generation time step; processing the combined sequence using a self-attention decoder neural network to generate a time step output that defines a score distribution over a set of possible output tokens; and selecting, using the time step output, an output token from the set of possible output tokens as the next output token in the output sequence.

  • Patent number: 11080589
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating a target sequence including a respective output at each of multiple output time steps from respective encoded representations of inputs in an input sequence. The method includes, for each output time step, starting from the position, in the input order, of the encoded representation that was selected as a preceding context vector at a preceding output time step, traversing the encoded representations until an encoded representation is selected as a current context vector at the output time step. A decoder neural network processes the current context vector and a preceding output at the preceding output time step to generate a respective output score for each possible output and to update the hidden state of the decoder recurrent neural network. An output is selected for the output time step using the output scores.
