DCT: Dynamic Compressive Transformer for Modeling Unbounded Sequence [PDF]
In this paper, we propose Dynamic Compressive Transformer (DCT), a transformer-based framework for modeling the unbounded sequence. In contrast to the previous baselines which append every sentence representation to memory, conditionally selecting and appending them is a more reasonable solution to deal with unlimited long sequences.

A Gray Code of Ordered Trees [PDF]
A combinatorial Gray code for a set of combinatorial objects is a sequence of all combinatorial objects in the set so that each object is derived from the preceding object by changing a small part. In this paper we design a Gray code for ordered trees with n vertices such that each ordered tree is derived from the preceding ordered tree by removing ...
