A Neural Turing Machine (NTM) is a recurrent neural network architecture introduced by Alex Graves, Greg Wayne, and Ivo Danihelka at Google DeepMind in 2014. It combines the computational abilities of neural networks with the memory access capabilities of a Turing machine. Essentially, it's a neural network augmented by an external memory bank that it can interact with through attentional mechanisms.
Key Components:
Neural Network Controller: The core of the NTM. Typically a feedforward or recurrent neural network (like an LSTM), the controller receives input and produces output, as well as instructions for interacting with the external memory.
External Memory: A large matrix (NxM) where N is the number of memory locations and M is the vector size stored in each location. The controller reads from and writes to this memory.
Read and Write Heads: These heads interact with the memory. Each head has its own set of parameters (produced by the controller) that dictate where to read from or write to. The mechanism for determining where is based on learned attention weights over the memory locations.
How it Works:
Key Concepts & Advantages:
Differentiable Attention: The core of NTM's memory access. The read and write heads use differentiable operations to select memory locations, making the entire system end-to-end trainable with gradient descent. See Differentiable Attention.
Content-Based Addressing: The controller can read and write based on the content of the memory, rather than relying solely on location-based addressing. See Content-Based%20Addressing.
Location-Based Addressing: Fine-tunes content-based addressing by allowing the read/write heads to shift focus to adjacent memory locations. This helps the model navigate through sequences of related information in memory. See Location-Based%20Addressing.
Temporal Binding: NTMs can learn to store and retrieve information over long time scales, which is crucial for tasks like algorithmic reasoning and sequence learning. See Temporal%20Binding.
Algorithmic Reasoning: NTMs were initially designed to learn simple algorithms like copying, sorting, and associative recall. They can generalize to longer sequences than those they were trained on. See Algorithmic%20Reasoning.
