Solving them helps to create machines that are imaginative and which can perform human-like reasoning and robust decision making. Advanced sequence models will have a significant impact on key areas including drug discovery, autonomous vehicles, and robotics. This thesis advances research in sequence models in two ways: by introducing controlling mechanisms into generative models, and by learning to efficiently generate attacks on natural language models.
