Neural Sequence Model

A Neural Sequence Model is a neural network model that is a sequence data model (designed to process sequence data).

• Context:
  • It can (typically) be implemented using Neural Sequence Architecture.
  • ...
  • It can include Encoder-Decoder Sequence Models.
  • It can be trained using a Neural Sequence Model Training System (that may implement Backpropagation Through Time (BPTT)).
  • …
• Example(s):
  • Neural Text-to-Text Model (text-to-text models), such as:
    • A seq2seq Model which utilizes an encoder to process the input sequence and a decoder to generate the output sequence.
  • A Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) Model, or Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) Model
  • An Attention-based Neural Sequence Model, which employs an attention mechanismto weight the significance of different parts of the input sequence differently.
  • A Selective State Space Model (SSM), which combines traditional state space modeling with neural network components.
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • A Feedforward Neural Network used for image classification, which does not model sequence data.
  • A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) used for processing static images.
