Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating an output sequence from an input sequence. In one aspect, one of the systems includes one or more subroutine neural networks each comprising: an encoder neural network configured to receive an encoder network input comprising i) a subroutine input sequence of the subroutine neural network and ii) an input mask that masks one or more subroutine input elements of the subroutine input sequence and to generate an encoded representation of the encoder network input; a decoder neural network configured to receive the encoded representation and to generate the subroutine network output; and a masking neural network configured to generate an output mask, wherein the output mask will be used as the input mask of the encoder neural network at a subsequence time step of the plurality of time steps.
