Dear all,

We have a tea talk tomorrow by Amjad Almahairi. This is a practice talk for his presentation at the CIFAR summer school next week. He will tell us about using autoencoding variational bayes for training a generative model on sentences.

Hope to see many of you there!

- Title: Variational autoencoders for language modelling
- Abstract:
In this talk I will talk about my recent work on the variational autoencoder (VAE) model for modelling full sentences. More specifically, I will discuss some results a variation of the VAE using the gated recursive convolutional network introduced recently by Kyung Hyun.
