Two efficient models learn high-quality word vectors from huge text corpora
This paper introduces the Continuous Bag-of-Words and Skip-gram models, which efficiently learn word embeddings from billions of words, achieving state-of-the-art accuracy on semantic and syntactic similarity tasks with much less computation than prior neural network models.

Neural machine translation improves by learning soft alignments during decoding
This paper introduces a neural machine translation model that jointly learns to align source words with target words using a soft attention mechanism, achieving translation quality comparable to phrase-based systems on English-to-French tasks and better handling long sentences.

Deep LSTM networks map reversed input sequences to fixed vectors for strong machine translation
This paper introduces a sequence-to-sequence model using two deep LSTMs—one encoding reversed source sentences into fixed vectors, the other decoding target sentences—achieving a BLEU score of 34.8 on WMT'14 English-French, outperforming phrase-based SMT baselines.
