Electrical and Computer Engineering Publications

The desire to make applications and machines more intelligent and the aspiration to enable their operation without human interaction have been driving innovations in neural networks, deep learning, and other machine learning techniques. Although reinforcement learning has been primarily used in video games, recent advancements and the development of diverse and powerful reinforcement algorithms have enabled the reinforcement learning community to move from playing video games to solving complex real-life problems in autonomous systems such as self-driving cars, delivery drones, and automated robotics. Understanding the environment of an application and the algorithms’ limitations plays a vital role in selecting the …


Generating Effective Sentence Representations: Deep Learning And Reinforcement Learning Approaches, Mahtab Ahmed Apr 2021

Generating Effective Sentence Representations: Deep Learning And Reinforcement Learning Approaches, Mahtab Ahmed

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

Natural language processing (NLP) is one of the most important technologies of the information age. Understanding complex language utterances is also a crucial part of artificial intelligence. Many Natural Language applications are powered by machine learning models performing a large variety of underlying tasks. Recently, deep learning approaches have obtained very high performance across many NLP tasks. In order to achieve this high level of performance, it is crucial for computers to have an appropriate representation of sentences. The tasks addressed in the thesis are best approached having shallow semantic representations. These representations are vectors that are then embedded in …
