  • Teacher Forcing.
  • Greedy Decoding.
  • nmt tutorial notebook

Setup

  1. install pytorch 0.4:
conda install pytorch -c pytorch=0.4.1 
  1. install other requirements:
pip install -r requirements.txt

System Requirements

Training with a batch size of 32 takes ~3gb GPU ram. If this is too much, lower the batch size or reduce network dimensionality in hyperparams.py.

Usage

python train.py

view logs in Tensorboard decent alignments should be seen after 2-3 epochs.

tensorboard --logdir runs
