Abstract

In this paper we propose three modifications of Differential Neural Computer aiming at the improvement of convergence and speed of the network training. The first one relies on simplifying the mechanism of erasing old information; the second increases the influence of the link between data, and the last one increases the utility of the memory module. We evaluate the proposed modifications using five bAbI tasks. The results analysis gave some insights into modification effects, and the most promising results achieved the DNC modification without erasing vector.
