• Abstract: Recurrent Neural Cascades (RNCs) are the recurrent neural networks with no cyclic dependencies among recurrent neurons. This class of recurrent networks has received a lot of attention in practice. Besides training methods for a fixed architecture such as backpropagation, the cascade architecture naturally allows for constructive learning methods, where recurrent nodes are added incrementally one at a time, often yielding smaller networks. Furthermore, acyclicity amounts to a structural prior that even for the same number of neurons yields a more favourable sample complexity compared to a fully-connected architecture. A central question is whether the advantages of the cascade architecture come at the cost of a reduced expressivity. We provide new insights into this question. We show that the regular languages captured by RNCs with sign and tanh activation with positive recurrent weights are the star-free regular languages. In order to establish our results we developed a novel framework where capabilities of RNCs are accessed by analysing which semigroups and groups a single neuron is able to implement. A notable implication of our framework is that RNCs can achieve the expressivity of all regular languages by introducing neurons that can implement groups.

  We present here a combination of two networks, Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) and Temporarily Convolutional Neural Networks (TCN) Recurrent Neural Networks are known for their autoregressive properties and are frequently used in language modelling with direct application to SMILES generation. The relatively novel TCNs possess similar properties with wide receptive field while obeying the causality required for natural language processing (NLP) It is shown that different fine-tuning protocols have a profound impact on generative scope of the model when applied on a dataset of interest via transfer learning.

When noise is introduced into the activation function of the recurrent units, these neurons are forced into a binary activation regime that makes the networks behave much as finite automata.

  Long short-term memory (LSTM) networks are capable of encapsulating long-range dependencies. Simple recurrent networks (SRNs) have generally been less successful at capturing long-range dependencies. We propose a new architecture, the Decay RNN, which incorporates the decaying nature of neuronal activations.
