<p>This tutorial will guide you how to configure recurrent neural network in PaddlePaddle. PaddlePaddle supports highly flexible and efficient recurrent neural network configuration. In this tutorial, you will learn how to:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>prepare sequence data for learning recurrent neural networks.</li>
<li>configure recurrent neural network architecture.</li>
<li>generate sequence with learned recurrent neural network models.</li>
</ul>
<p>We will use vanilla recurrent neural network, and sequence to sequence model to guide you through these steps. The code of sequence to sequence model can be found at <code class="code docutils literal"><span class="pre">demo/seqToseq</span></code>.</p>

<p>Generally speaking, a recurrent network perform the following operations from <span class="math">\(t=1\)</span> to <span class="math">\(t=T\)</span>, or reversely from <span class="math">\(t=T\)</span> to <span class="math">\(t=1\)</span>.</p>

<p>where <span class="math">\(f_x(.)\)</span> is called <strong>step function</strong>, and <span class="math">\(f_y(.)\)</span> is called <strong>output function</strong>. In vanilla recurrent neural network, both of the step function and output function are very simple. However, PaddlePaddle supports the configuration of very complex architectures by modifying these two functions. We will use the sequence to sequence model with attention as an example to demonstrate how you can configure complex recurrent neural network models. In this section, we will use a simple vanilla recurrent neural network as an example of configuring simple recurrent neural network using <code class="code docutils literal"><span class="pre">recurrent_group</span></code>. Notice that if you only need to use simple RNN, GRU, or LSTM, then <code class="code docutils literal"><span class="pre">grumemory</span></code> and <code class="code docutils literal"><span class="pre">lstmemory</span></code> is recommended because they are more computationally efficient than <code class="code docutils literal"><span class="pre">recurrent_group</span></code>.</p>
<p>For vanilla RNN, at each time step, the <strong>step function</strong> is:</p>

<p>PaddlePaddle uses memory to construct step function. <strong>Memory</strong> is the most important concept when constructing recurrent neural networks in PaddlePaddle. A memory is a state that is used recurrently in step functions, such as <span class="math">\(x_{t+1} = f_x(x_t)\)</span>. One memory contains an <strong>output</strong> and a <strong>input</strong>. The output of memory at the current time step is utilized as the input of the memory at the next time step. A memory can also has a <strong>boot layer</strong>, whose output is utilized as the initial value of the memory. In our case, the output of the gated recurrent unit is employed as the output memory. Notice that the name of the layer <code class="code docutils literal"><span class="pre">rnn_out</span></code> is the same as the name of <code class="code docutils literal"><span class="pre">out_mem</span></code>. This means the output of the layer <code class="code docutils literal"><span class="pre">rnn_out</span></code> (<span class="math">\(x_{t+1}\)</span>) is utilized as the <strong>output</strong> of <code class="code docutils literal"><span class="pre">out_mem</span></code> memory.</p>

<p>A memory can also be a sequence. In this case, at each time step, we have a sequence as the state of the recurrent neural network. This can be useful when constructing very complex recurrent neural network. Other advanced functions include defining multiple memories, and defining hierarchical recurrent neural network architecture using sub-sequence.</p>
Y
Yu Yang 已提交
117
<p>We return <code class="code docutils literal"><span class="pre">rnn_out</span></code> at the end of the function. It means that the output of the layer <code class="code docutils literal"><span class="pre">rnn_out</span></code> is utilized as the <strong>output</strong> function of the gated recurrent neural network.</p>

<p>In this model, the source sequence <span class="math">\(S = \{s_1, \dots, s_T\}\)</span> is encoded with a bidirectional gated recurrent neural networks. The hidden states of the bidirectional gated recurrent neural network <span class="math">\(H_S = \{H_1, \dots, H_T\}\)</span> is called <em>encoder vector</em> The decoder is a gated recurrent neural network. When decoding each token <span class="math">\(y_t\)</span>, the gated recurrent neural network generates a set of weights <span class="math">\(W_S^t = \{W_1^t, \dots, W_T^t\}\)</span>, which are used to compute a weighted sum of the encoder vector. The weighted sum of the encoder vector is utilized to condition the generation of the token <span class="math">\(y_t\)</span>.</p>
124
<p>The encoder part of the model is listed below. It calls <code class="code docutils literal"><span class="pre">grumemory</span></code> to represent gated recurrent neural network. It is the recommended way of using recurrent neural network if the network architecture is simple, because it is faster than <code class="code docutils literal"><span class="pre">recurrent_group</span></code>.

<p>After training the model, we can use it to generate sequences. A common practice is to use <strong>beam search</strong> to generate sequences. The following code snippets defines a beam search algorithm. Notice that <code class="code docutils literal"><span class="pre">beam_search</span></code> function assumes the output function of the <code class="code docutils literal"><span class="pre">step</span></code> returns a softmax normalized probability vector of the next token. We made the following changes to the model.</p>
