We propose a simple solution to use single Neural Machine Translation (NMT) model translate between multiple languages. Our requires no changes the architecture from standard NMT system but instead introduces an artificial token at beginning of input sentence specify required target language. Using shared wordpiece vocabulary, our approach enables Multilingual systems using model. On WMT’14 benchmarks, multilingual achieves comparable performance for English→French and surpasses...

We combine well-known techniques from the areas of error-correcting codes and cryptography to achieve a new type cryptographic primitive that we refer as fuzzy commitment scheme. Like conventional scheme, our scheme is both concealing binding: it infeasible for an attacker learn committed value, also committer decommit value in more than one way. In must be opened using unique witness, which acts, essentially, decryption key. By contrast, sense accepts witness close original encrypting...

Explaining the output of a deep network remains challenge. In case an image classifier, one type explanation is to identify pixels that strongly influence final decision. A starting point for this strategy gradient class score function with respect input image. This can be interpreted as sensitivity map, and there are several techniques elaborate on basic idea. paper makes two contributions: it introduces SmoothGrad, simple method help visually sharpen gradient-based maps, discusses lessons...

Predicting ad click-through rates (CTR) is a massive-scale learning problem that central to the multi-billion dollar online advertising industry. We present selection of case studies and topics drawn from recent experiments in setting deployed CTR prediction system. These include improvements context traditional supervised based on an FTRL-Proximal algorithm (which has excellent sparsity convergence properties) use per-coordinate rates.

The Internet has fostered an unconventional and powerful style of collaboration: "wiki" web sites, where every visitor the power to become editor. In this paper we investigate dynamics Wikipedia, a prominent, thriving wiki. We make three contributions. First, introduce new exploratory data analysis tool, history flow visualization, which is effective in revealing patterns within wiki context believe will be useful other collaborative situations as well. Second, discuss several collaboration...

The interpretation of deep learning models is a challenge due to their size, complexity, and often opaque internal state. In addition, many systems, such as image classifiers, operate on low-level features rather than high-level concepts. To address these challenges, we introduce Concept Activation Vectors (CAVs), which provide an neural net's state in terms human-friendly key idea view the high-dimensional net aid, not obstacle. We show how use CAVs part technique, Testing with (TCAV), that...

We describe the design and deployment of Many Eyes, a public Web site where users may upload data, create interactive visualizations, carry on discussions. The goal is to support collaboration around visualizations at large scale by fostering social style data analysis in which not only serve as discovery tool for individuals but also medium spur discussion among users. To this goal, includes novel mechanisms end-user creation asynchronous those visualizations. In addition describing these...

An empirical description public's cognitive representations presidential candidates, derived from responses to open-ended questions American National Election Studies 1952 1984, reveals that perceptions are generally focused on “personality” characteristics rather than issue concerns or partisan group connections. Contrary implications past research,...

Treemaps, a space-filling method for visualizing large hierarchical data sets, are receiving increasing attention. Several algorithms have been previously proposed to create more useful displays by controlling the aspect ratios of rectangles that make up treemap. While these do improve visibility small items in single layout, they introduce instability over time display dynamically changing data, fail preserve order underlying and layouts difficult visually search. In addition, continuous...

A key challenge in developing and deploying Machine Learning (ML) systems is understanding their performance across a wide range of inputs. To address this challenge, we created the What-If Tool, an open-source application that allows practitioners to probe, visualize, analyze ML systems, with minimal coding. The Tool lets test hypothetical situations, importance different data features, visualize model behavior multiple models subsets input data. It also measure according fairness metrics....
