Abstract

The memory-based network is widely used in a variety of sequence modeling. Taking full use of memory is one of the challenges to build memory-based models. Existing work either as recurrent neural network, memory capacity is too small to comprehensively model information of the sequence, or as the memory network, although with an external storage structure to enhance memory, the memory is not sufficiently utilized. To address these issues, we propose a novel memory interactive recurrent unit (MIRU), which constructs a multi-dimensional memory inside the recurrent unit and employs convolution operations to interact and update memories. Finally, we test MIRU on the YELP benchmark dataset of sentiment analysis and empirical results demonstrate that MIRU significantly outperforms the advanced models.
