Response generation using memory augmented deep neural networks

Memory augmented neural networks may use one or more neural encoders to transform input data into distributed representations and a memory module to store the representations with individual addresses. Memory augmented neural networks allow for few-shot learning capabilities because latent representations are persistent between training examples and gradient-based updates affect only certain memory locations via content-based lookups. When a query vector is not found in memory and the memory is full, existing memories that are positively associated with a particular representation may be identified, redundant memories may be aged, and updated memories may be generated. These updated memories retain relevant information acquired during training and reduce redundancy in the memories stored using the memory module, thereby improving the efficiency of data storage and reducing overfitting of data typically encountered with existing neural networks using memory modules.
