Hands-On One-shot Learning with Python

Memory-augmented neural networks

The goal of MANNs is to excel at one-shot learning tasks. The NMT controller, as we read earlier, uses both content-based addressing and location-based addressing. On the other hand, the MANN controller uses only content-based addressing. There are two reasons for this. One reason is that location-based addressing is not required for one-shot learning tasks. In this task, for a given input, there are only two actions that a controller might need to take and both actions are content dependent and not location dependent. One action is taken when the input is very similar to a previously seen input, in which case we can update the current contents of the memory. The other action is taken when the current input ...
