This program supports AI startups at any time of the year. Benefit from cutting-edge resources and tailored support to accelerate your technology's development.
Offered by Mila and the Public Policy Forum, this program is designed to equip policy and decision makers with the tools to navigate the opportunities and risks of AI. The next cohort will be held in French on September 1-2, 2026, at Mila.
Connect with a Mila academic advisor and current student-researchers to learn more about Mila's community and how to join us on August 19, 31 and September 11, 2026.

Describing Multimedia Content Using Attention-Based Encoder-Decoder Networks
Whereas deep neural networks were first mostly used for classification tasks, they are rapidly expanding in the realm of structured output p… (see more)roblems, where the observed target is composed of multiple random variables that have a rich joint distribution, given the input. In this paper we focus on the case where the input also has a rich structure and the input and output structures are somehow related. We describe systems that learn to attend to different places in the input, for each element of the output, for a variety of tasks: machine translation, image caption generation, video clip description, and speech recognition. All these systems are based on a shared set of building blocks: gated recurrent neural networks and convolutional neural networks, along with trained attention mechanisms. We report on experimental results with these systems, showing impressively good performance and the advantage of the attention mechanism.
