Sequence-to-sequence in Pytorch

Sequence-to-sequence neural network with attention. You can play with a toy dataset to test different configurations. The toy dataset consists of batched (input, target) pairs, where the target is the reversed input.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Install the packages with pip

pip install -r requirements.txt

Train model

Train and evaluate models with

python main.py --config=<json_config_file>

Examples of config files are given in the "experiments" folder. All config files have to be placed in this directory.

Hyper-parameters

You can tune the following parameters:

• decoder type (with or without Attention)
• encoder type (with or without downsampling, with or without preprocessing layers)
• the encoder's hidden dimension
• the number of recurrent layers in the encoder
• the encoder dropout
• the bidirectionality of the encoder
• the decoder's hidden dimension
• the number of recurrent layers in the decoder
• the decoder dropout
• the bidirectionality of the decoder
• batch size
• the type of attention used etc...

Results

Here is a comparison of the Levenshtein distance for the Luong example vs Seq2seq example.

We can also check the weights during evaluation
