NeuralGPU

Code for the Neural GPU model as described in [[http://arxiv.org/abs/1511.08228]].

Requirements:

• TensorFlow (see tensorflow.org for how to install)

The model can be trained on the following algorithmic tasks:

• sort - Sort a symbol list
• kvsort - Sort symbol keys in dictionary
• id - Return the same symbol list
• rev - Reverse a symbol list
• rev2 - Reverse a symbol dictionary by key
• incr - Add one to a symbol value
• add - Long decimal addition
• left - First symbol in list
• right - Last symbol in list
• left-shift - Left shift a symbol list
• right-shift - Right shift a symbol list
• bmul - Long binary multiplication
• mul - Long decimal multiplication
• dup - Duplicate a symbol list with padding
• badd - Long binary addition
• qadd - Long quaternary addition
• search - Search for symbol key in dictionary

It can also be trained on the WMT English-French translation task:

• wmt - WMT English-French translation (data will be downloaded)

The value range for symbols are defined by the vocab_size flag. In particular, the values are in the range vocab_size - 1. So if you set --vocab_size=16 (the default) then --problem=rev will be reversing lists of 15 symbols, and --problem=id will be identity on a list of up to 15 symbols.

To train the model on the binary multiplication task run:

python neural_gpu_trainer.py --problem=bmul

This trains the Extended Neural GPU, to train the original model run:

python neural_gpu_trainer.py --problem=bmul --beam_size=0

While training, interim / checkpoint model parameters will be written to /tmp/neural_gpu/.

Once the amount of error gets down to what you're comfortable with, hit Ctrl-C to stop the training process. The latest model parameters will be in /tmp/neural_gpu/neural_gpu.ckpt-<step> and used on any subsequent run.

To evaluate a trained model on how well it decodes run:

python neural_gpu_trainer.py --problem=bmul --mode=1

To interact with a model (experimental, see code) run:

python neural_gpu_trainer.py --problem=bmul --mode=2
