Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for sequence modeling. One of the methods includes receiving an input sequence having a plurality of input positions; determining a plurality of blocks of consecutive input positions; processing the input sequence using a neural network to generate a latent alignment, comprising, at each of a plurality of input time steps: receiving a partial latent alignment from a previous input time step; selecting an input position in each block, wherein the token at the selected input position of the partial latent alignment in each block is a mask token; and processing the partial latent alignment and the input sequence using the neural network to generate a new latent alignment, wherein the new latent alignment comprises, at the selected input position in each block, an output token or a blank token; and generating, using the latent alignment, an output sequence.
