• Abstract: Question Paraphrase Identification (QPI) is a critical task for large-scale Question-Answering forums. The purpose of QPI is to determine whether a given pair of questions are semantically identical or not. Previous approaches for this task have yielded promising results, but have often relied on complex recurrence mechanisms that are expensive and time-consuming in nature. In this paper, we propose a novel architecture combining a Bidirectional Transformer Encoder with Convolutional Neural Networks for the QPI task. We produce the predictions from the proposed architecture using two different inference setups: Siamese and Matched Aggregation. Experimental results demonstrate that our model achieves state-of-the-art performance on the Quora Question Pairs dataset. We empirically prove that the addition of convolution layers to the model architecture improves the results in both inference setups. We also investigate the impact of partial and complete fine-tuning and analyze the trade-off between computational power and accuracy in the process. Based on the obtained results, we conclude that the Matched-Aggregation setup consistently outperforms the Siamese setup. Our work provides insights into what architecture combinations and setups are likely to produce better results for the QPI task.

We demonstrate that as depth increases, a topologically complicated dataset is transformed into a simple one, resulting in Betti numbers attaining their lowest possible value.

  Inference in deep neural networks can be computationally expensive, and networks capable of anytime inference are important in mscenarios where the amount of compute or quantity of input data varies over time. We propose Hierarchical Neural Ensembles (HNE), a novel framework to embed an ensemble of multiple networks in a hierarchical tree structure, sharing intermediate layers. Our experiments show that, compared to previous anytime inference models, HNE provides state-of-the-art accuracy-computate trade-offs on the CIFAR-10/100 and ImageNet datasets.
