Model Blending for Text Classification

Ramit Pahwa

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have proven successful in a wide variety of applications such as speech recognition and synthesis, computer vision, machine translation, and game playing, to name but a few. However, existing deep neural network models are computationally expensive and memory intensive, hindering their deployment in devices with low memory resources or in applications with strict latency requirements. Therefore, a natural thought is to perform model compression and acceleration in deep networks without significantly decreasing the model performance, which is what we call reducing the complexity. In the following work, we try reducing the complexity of state of the art LSTM models for natural language tasks such as text classification, by distilling their knowledge to CNN based models, thus reducing the inference time(or latency) during testing.
