The technology disclosed provides a quasi-recurrent neural network (QRNN) encoder-decoder model that alternates convolutional layers, which apply in parallel across timesteps, and minimalist recurrent pooling layers that apply in parallel across feature dimensions.

Quasi-recurrent neural network based encoder-decoder model

A system automatically generates recurrent neural network (RNN) architectures for performing specific tasks, for example, machine translation. The system represents RNN architectures using a domain specific language (DSL). The system generates candidate RNN architectures. The system predicts performances of the generated candidate RNN architectures, for example, using a neural network. The system filters the candidate RNN architectures based on their predicted performance. The system generates code for selected a candidate architectures. The generated code represents an RNN that is configured to perform the specific task. The system executes the generated code, for example, to evaluate an RNN or to use the RNN in an application.
