Natural Language Processing with Small Feed-Forward Networks
We show that small and shallow feed-forward neural networks can achieve near
state-of-the-art results on a range of unstructured and structured language
processing tasks while being considerably cheaper in memory and computational
requirements than deep recurrent models. Motivated by resource-constrained
environments like mobile phones, we showcase simple techniques for obtaining
such small neural network models, and investigate different tradeoffs when
deciding how to allocate a small memory budget.Comment: EMNLP 2017 short pape
