Many of the leading approaches in language modeling introduce novel, complex and specialized architectures. We take existing state-of-the-art word level language models based on LSTMs and QRNNs and extend them to both larger vocabularies as well as character-level granularity. When properly tuned, LSTMs and QRNNs achieve state-of-the-art results on character-level (Penn Treebank, enwik8) and word-level (WikiText-103) datasets, respectively. Results are obtained in only 12 hours (WikiText-103) to 2 days (enwik8) using a single modern GPU.

  1. Augmenting Self-attention with Persistent Memory

    cs.LG 2019-07 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Augmenting self-attention with persistent memory vectors allows removal of feed-forward layers from Transformers without degrading performance on character and word level language modeling benchmarks.

  2. Evaluating Computational Language Models with Scaling Properties of Natural Language

    cs.CL 2019-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Only gated RNN language models reproduce the long-range correlation scaling of natural language among tested models, with Taylor's law exponent serving as a quality indicator.
