Coconet: The ML Model Behind Today’s Bach Doodle
Google celebrated J.S. Bach’s 334th birthday with the first AI-powered Google Doodle. They introduce Coconet, the machine learning model behind the Doodle. People can create their own melody, and the machine learning model will harmonize it in Bach’s style.

Reducing The Need for Labeled Data in Generative Adversarial Networks
Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are a powerful class of deep generative models.The main idea behind GANs is to train two neural networks: the generator, which learns how to synthesise data (such as an image), and the discriminator, which learns how to distinguish real data from the ones synthesised by the generator.

Implicit Generation And Generalization in Energy-Based Models 
In this work, researchers advocate for using continuous energy-based models (EBMs), represented as neural networks, for generative tasks and as a means for generalizable models. These models aim to learn an energy function E(x) that assigns low energy values to inputs x in the data distribution and high energy values to other inputs.

AttoNets: Compact and Efficient DNNs Realized via Human-Machine Collaborative
It is no secret that deep neural networks (DNNs) can achieve state-of-the-art performance in a wide range of complicated tasks. DNN models such as BigGAN, BERT, and GPT 2.0 have proved the high potential of deep learning. Deploying DNNs on mobile devices, consumer devices, drones and vehicles however remains a bottleneck for researchers.
