Machine Translation With Image Context From Mandarin Chinese To English, Brooke E. Johnson
Machine Translation With Image Context From Mandarin Chinese To English, Brooke E. Johnson
Theses and Dissertations
Despite ongoing improvements in machine translation, machine translators still lack the capability of incorporating context from which source text may have been derived. Machine translators use text from a source language to translate it into a target language without observing any visual context. This work aims to produce a neural machine translation model that is capable of accepting both text and image context as a multimodal translator from Mandarin Chinese to English. The model was trained on a small multimodal dataset of 700 images and sentences, and compared to a translator trained only on the text associated with those images. …

Hyper-Parameter Optimization Of A Convolutional Neural Network, Steven H. Chon
Theses and Dissertations
In the world of machine learning, neural networks have become a powerful pattern recognition technique that gives a user the ability to interpret high-dimensional data whereas conventional methods, such as logistic regression, would fail. There exists many different types of neural networks, each containing its own set of hyper-parameters that are dependent on the type of analysis required, but the focus of this paper will be on the hyper-parameters of convolutional neural networks. Convolutional neural networks are commonly used for classifications of visual imagery. For example, if you were to build a network for the purpose of predicting a specific …
