archive 2025-07-28 Description, source and code snippet are the archive's method entry.
The Pointer Sentinel-LSTM mixture model is a type of recurrent neural network that combines the advantages of standard softmax classifiers with those of a pointer component for effective and efficient language modeling. Rather than relying on the RNN hidden state to decide when to use the pointer, the model allows the pointer component itself to decide when to use the softmax vocabulary through a sentinel.

Usage over time archive 2025-07-28
Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
