Lightweight Neural Programming: The GRPU

Deep Learning techniques have achieved impressive results over the last few years. However, they still have difficulty in producing understandable results that clearly show the embedded logic behind the inductive process. One step in this direction is the recent development of Neural Differentiable Programmers. In this paper, we designed a neural programmer that can be easily integrated into existing deep learning architectures, with similar amount of parameters to a single commonly used Recurrent Neural Network. Tests conducted with the proposal suggest that it has the potential to induce algorithms even without any kind of special optimization, achieving competitive results in problems handled by more complex RNN architectures.
