42 - Generating Sentences by Editing Prototypes, with Kelvin Guu

Paper is by Kelvin Guu, Tatsunori B. Hashimoto, Yonatan Oren, and
Percy Liang In this episode, Kelvin tells us how to build a
language model that starts from a prototype sentence instead of
starting from scratch, enabling much more grammatical and diverse
language modeling results. In the process, Kelvin gives us a really
good intuitive explanation for how variational autoencoders work,
we talk about some of the details of the model they used, and some
of the implications of the work - can you use this for better
summarization, or machine translation, or dialogue responses?
