+ABOUT
+=======
+
+PaddlPaddle is an easy-to-use, efficient, flexible and scalable deep learning platform,
+which is originally developed by Baidu scientists and engineers for the purpose of applying deep learning to many products at Baidu.
+
+PaddlePaddle is now open source but far from complete, which is intended to be built upon, improved, scaled, and extended.
+We hope to build an active open source community both by providing feedback and by actively contributing to the source code.

+Introduction
+==============
+DataProvider is a module that loads training or testing data into cpu or gpu
+memory for the following triaining or testing process.
+
+For simple use, users can use Python :code:`PyDataProvider` to dynamically reads
+the original data in any format or in any form, and then transfer them into a
+data format PaddlePaddle requires. The process is extremly flexible and highly
+customized, with sacrificing the efficiency only a little. This is extremly
+useful when you have to dynamically generate certain kinds of data according to,
+for example, the training performance.
+
+Besides, users also can customize a C++ :code:`DataProvider` for a more
+complex usage, or for a higher efficiency.
+
+The following parameters are required to define in the PaddlePaddle network
+configuration file (trainer_config.py): which DataProvider is chosen to used,
+and specific parameters for DataProvider, including training file list
+(train.list) and testing file list (test.list).
+
+Train.list and test.list are simply two plain text files, which defines path
+of training or testing data. It is recommended that directly placing them into
+the training directory, and reference to them by using a relative path (
+relative to the PaddePaddle program).
+
+Testing or evaluating will not be performed during training if the test.list is
+not set or set to None. Otherwise, PaddlePaddle will evaluate the trained model
+by the specified tesing data while training, every testing period (a user
+defined command line parameter in PaddlePaddle) to prevent over-fitting.
+
+Each line of train.list and test.list is an absolute or relative path (relative
+to the PaddePaddle program runtime) of data file. Fascinatingly more, each line
+can also be a HDFS file path or a SQL connection string. As long as the user
+assures how to access each file in DataProvider.

develop/doc/_sources/api/v1/data_provider/pydataprovider2_en.rst.txt

+..  _api_pydataprovider2:
+
+PyDataProvider2
+===============
+
+We highly recommand users to use PyDataProvider2 to provide training or testing
+data to PaddlePaddle. The user only needs to focus on how to read a single
+sample from the original data file by using PyDataProvider2, leaving all of the
+trivial work, including, transfering data into cpu/gpu memory, shuffle, binary
+serialization to PyDataProvider2. PyDataProvider2 uses multithreading and a
+fanscinating but simple cache strategy to optimize the efficiency of the data
+providing process.
+
+DataProvider for the non-sequential model
+-----------------------------------------
+
+Here we use the MNIST handwriting recognition data as an example to illustrate
+how to write a simple PyDataProvider.
+
+MNIST is a handwriting classification data set. It contains 70,000 digital
+grayscale images. Labels of the training sample range from 0 to 9. All the
+images have been size-normalized and centered into images with the same size
+of 28 x 28 pixels.
+
+A small part of the original data as an example is shown as below:
+
+.. literalinclude:: src/mnist_train.txt
+
+Each line of the data contains two parts, separated by :code:`;`. The first part is
+label of an image. The second part contains 28x28 pixel float values.
+
+Just write path of the above data into train.list. It looks like this:
+
+.. literalinclude:: src/train.list
+
+The corresponding dataprovider is shown as below:
+
+.. literalinclude:: src/mnist_provider.dict.py
+
+The first line imports PyDataProvider2 package.
+The main function is the process function, that has two parameters.
+The first parameter is the settings, which is not used in this example.
+The second parameter is the filename, that is exactly each line of train.list.
+This parameter is passed to the process function by PaddlePaddle.
+
+:code:`@provider` is a Python
+`Decorator <http://www.learnpython.org/en/Decorators>`_ .
+It sets some properties to DataProvider, and constructs a real PaddlePaddle
+DataProvider from a very simple user implemented python function. It does not
+matter if you are not familiar with `Decorator`_. You can keep it simple by
+just taking :code:`@provider` as a fixed mark above the provider function you
+implemented.
+
+`input_types`_ defines the data format that a DataProvider returns.
+In this example, it is set to a 28x28-dimensional dense vector and an integer
+scalar, whose value ranges from 0 to 9.
+`input_types`_ can be set to several kinds of input formats, please refer to the
+document of `input_types`_ for more details.
+
+
+The process method is the core part to construct a real DataProvider in
+PaddlePaddle. It implements how to open the text file, how to read one sample
+from the original text file, convert them into `input_types`_, and give them
+back to PaddlePaddle process at line 23.
+Note that data yielded by the process function must follow the same order that
+`input_types`_ are defined.
+
+
+With the help of PyDataProvider2, user can focus on how to generate ONE traning
+sample by using keywords :code:`yield`.
+:code:`yield` is a python keyword, and a concept related to it includes
+:code:`generator`.
+
+Only a few lines of codes need to be added into the training configuration file,
+you can take this as an example.
+
+.. literalinclude:: src/mnist_config.py
+
+Here we specify training data by :code:`train.list`, and no testing data is specified.
+The method which actually provide data is :code:`process`.
+
+User also can use another style to provide data, which defines the
+:code:`data_layer`'s name explicitly when `yield`. For example,
+the :code:`dataprovider` is shown as below.
+
+.. literalinclude:: src/mnist_provider.dict.py
+   :linenos:
+
+If user did't give the :code:`data_layer`'s name, PaddlePaddle will use
+the order of :code:`data_layer` definition roughly to determine which feature to
+which :code:`data_layer`. This order may be not correct, so TO DEFINE THE
+:code:`data_layer`'s NAMES EXPLICITLY IS THE RECOMMANDED WAY TO PROVIDER DATA.
+
+Now, this simple example of using PyDataProvider is finished.
+The only thing that the user should know is how to generte **one sample** from
+**one data file**.
+And PaddlePadle will do all of the rest things\:
+
+* Form a training batch
+* Shuffle the training data
+* Read data with multithreading
+* Cache the training data (Optional)
+* CPU-> GPU double buffering.
+
+Is this cool?
+
+..  _api_pydataprovider2_sequential_model:
+
+DataProvider for the sequential model
+-------------------------------------
+A sequence model takes sequences as its input. A sequence is made up of several
+timesteps. The so-called timestep, is not necessary to have something to do
+with time. It can also be explained to that the order of data are taken into
+consideration into model design and training.
+For example, the sentence can be interpreted as a kind of sequence data in NLP
+tasks.
+
+Here is an example on data proivider for English sentiment classification data.
+The original input data are simple English text, labeled into positive or
+negative sentiment (marked by 0 and 1 respectively).
+
+A small part of the original data as an example can be found in the path below:
+
+.. literalinclude:: src/sentimental_train.txt
+
+The corresponding data provider can be found in the path below:
+
+.. literalinclude:: src/sentimental_provider.py
+
+This data provider for sequential model is a little more complex than that
+for MINST dataset.
+A new initialization method is introduced here.
+The method :code:`on_init` is configured to DataProvider by :code:`@provider`'s
+:code:`init_hook` parameter, and it will be invoked once DataProvider is
+initialized. The :code:`on_init` function has the following parameters:
+
+* The first parameter is the settings object.
+* The rest parameters are passed by key word arguments. Some of them are passed
+  by PaddlePaddle, see reference for `init_hook`_.
+  The :code:`dictionary` object is a python dict object passed from the trainer
+  configuration file, and it maps word string to word id.
+
+To pass these parameters into DataProvider, the following lines should be added
+into trainer configuration file.
+
+.. literalinclude:: src/sentimental_config.py
+
+The definition is basically same as MNIST example, except:
+* Load dictionary in this configuration
+* Pass it as a parameter to the DataProvider
+
+The `input_types` is configured in method :code:`on_init`. It has the same
+effect to configure them by :code:`@provider`'s :code:`input_types` parameter.
+However, the :code:`input_types` is set at runtime, so we can set it to
+different types according to the input data. Input of the neural network is a
+sequence of word id, so set :code:`seq_type` to :code:`integer_value_sequence`.
+
+Durning :code:`on_init`, we save :code:`dictionary` variable to
+:code:`settings`, and it will be used in :code:`process`. Note the settings
+parameter for the process function and for the on_init's function are a same
+object.
+
+The basic processing logic is the same as MNIST's :code:`process` method. Each
+sample in the data file is given back to PaddlePaddle process.
+
+Thus, the basic usage of PyDataProvider is here.
+Please refer to the following section reference for details.
+
+Reference
+---------
+
+@provider
++++++++++
+
+.. autofunction:: paddle.trainer.PyDataProvider2.provider
+
+input_types
++++++++++++
+
+PaddlePaddle has four data types, and three sequence types.
+The four data types are: 
+
+* :code:`dense_vector`: dense float vector.
+* :code:`sparse_binary_vector`: sparse binary vector, most of the value is 0, and
+  the non zero elements are fixed to 1.
+* :code:`sparse_float_vector`: sparse float vector, most of the value is 0, and some
+  non zero elements can be any float value. They are given by the user.
+* :code:`integer`: an integer scalar, that is especially used for label or word index.
+
+The three sequence types are:
+
+* :code:`SequenceType.NO_SEQUENCE` means the sample is not a sequence.
+* :code:`SequenceType.SEQUENCE` means the sample is a sequence.
+* :code:`SequenceType.SUB_SEQUENCE` means it is a nested sequence, that each timestep of
+  the input sequence is also a sequence.
+
+Different input type has a defferenct input format. Their formats are shown
+in the above table.
+
++----------------------+---------------------+-----------------------------------+------------------------------------------------+
+|                      | NO_SEQUENCE         | SEQUENCE                          |  SUB_SEQUENCE                                  |
++======================+=====================+===================================+================================================+
+| dense_vector         | [f, f, ...]         | [[f, ...], [f, ...], ...]         | [[[f, ...], ...], [[f, ...], ...],...]         |
++----------------------+---------------------+-----------------------------------+------------------------------------------------+
+| sparse_binary_vector | [i, i, ...]         | [[i, ...], [i, ...], ...]         | [[[i, ...], ...], [[i, ...], ...],...]         |
++----------------------+---------------------+-----------------------------------+------------------------------------------------+
+| sparse_float_vector  | [(i,f), (i,f), ...] | [[(i,f), ...], [(i,f), ...], ...] | [[[(i,f), ...], ...], [[(i,f), ...], ...],...] |
++----------------------+---------------------+-----------------------------------+------------------------------------------------+
+| integer_value        |  i                  | [i, i, ...]                       | [[i, ...], [i, ...], ...]                      |
++----------------------+---------------------+-----------------------------------+------------------------------------------------+
+
+where f represents a float value, i represents an integer value.
+
+init_hook
++++++++++
+
+init_hook is a function that is invoked once the data provoder is initialized.
+Its parameters lists as follows:
+
+* The first parameter is a settings object, which is the same to :code:`settings`
+  in :code:`process` method. The object contains several attributes, including:
+
+  * :code:`settings.input_types`: the input types. Reference `input_types`_.
+  * :code:`settings.logger`: a logging object.
+
+* The rest parameters are the key word arguments. It is made up of PaddpePaddle
+  pre-defined parameters and user defined parameters.
+
+  * PaddlePaddle-defined parameters including:
+
+    * :code:`is_train` is a bool parameter that indicates the DataProvider is used in
+      training or testing.
+    * :code:`file_list` is the list of all files.
+      
+  * User-defined parameters args can be set in training configuration.
+
+Note, PaddlePaddle reserves the right to add pre-defined parameter, so please
+use :code:`**kwargs` in init_hook to ensure compatibility by accepting the
+parameters which your init_hook does not use.
+
+cache
++++++
+DataProvider provides two simple cache strategy. They are:
+
+* :code:`CacheType.NO_CACHE` means do not cache any data, then data is read at runtime by
+  the user implemented python module every pass.
+* :code:`CacheType.CACHE_PASS_IN_MEM` means the first pass reads data by the user
+  implemented python module, and the rest passes will directly read data from
+  memory.

develop/doc/_sources/api/v1/predict/swig_py_paddle_en.rst.txt

+Python Prediction
+==================
+
+PaddlePaddle offers a set of clean prediction interfaces for python with the help of
+SWIG. The main steps of predict values in python are:
+
+* Parse training configurations
+* Construct GradientMachine
+* Prepare data
+* Predict
+
+Here is a sample python script that shows the typical prediction process for the
+MNIST classification problem. A complete sample code could be found at
+:code:`src_root/doc/ui/predict/predict_sample.py`.
+
+..  literalinclude:: src/predict_sample.py
+    :language: python
+    :lines: 15-18,90-100,101-104
+
+The module that does the most of the job is py_paddle.swig_paddle, it's
+generated by SWIG and has complete documents, for more details you can use
+python's :code:`help()` function. Let's walk through the above python script:
+
+* At the beginning, use :code:`swig_paddle.initPaddle()` to initialize
+  PaddlePaddle with command line arguments, for more about command line arguments
+  see :ref:`cmd_detail_introduction` .
+* Parse the configuration file that is used in training with :code:`parse_config()`.
+  Because data to predict with always have no label, and output of prediction work
+  normally is the output layer rather than the cost layer, so you should modify
+  the configuration file accordingly before using it in the prediction work.
+* Create a neural network with
+  :code:`swig_paddle.GradientMachine.createFromConfigproto()`, which takes the
+  parsed configuration :code:`conf.model_config` as argument. Then load the
+  trained parameters from the model with :code:`network.loadParameters()`.
+* Create a data converter object of utility class :code:`DataProviderConverter`.
+    - Note: As swig_paddle can only accept C++ matrices, we offer a utility
+      class DataProviderConverter that can accept the same input data with
+      PyDataProvider2, for more information please refer to document
+      of :ref:`api_pydataprovider2` .
+* Do the prediction with :code:`forwardTest()`, which takes the converted
+  input data and outputs the activations of the output layer.
+
+Here is a typical output:
+
+..  code-block:: text
+
+    [{'id': None, 'value': array([[  5.53018653e-09,   1.12194102e-05,   1.96644767e-09,
+          1.43630644e-02,   1.51111044e-13,   9.85625684e-01,
+          2.08823112e-10,   2.32777140e-08,   2.00186201e-09,
+          1.15501715e-08],
+       [  9.99982715e-01,   1.27787406e-10,   1.72296313e-05,
+          1.49316648e-09,   1.36540484e-11,   6.93137714e-10,
+          2.70634608e-08,   3.48565123e-08,   5.25639710e-09,
+          4.48684503e-08]], dtype=float32)}]
+
+:code:`value` is the output of the output layer, each row represents result of
+the corresponding row in the input data, each element represents activation of
+the corresponding neuron in the output layer.

+# PaddlePaddle Design Doc
+
+## Ingredients
+
+As our design principle is starting from the essence: how could we
+allow users to express and solve their problems at neural networks.
+Some essential concepts that our API have to provide include:
+
+1. A *topology* is an expression of *layers*.
+
+1. A layer could be any kind of computation, including *cost*.
+
+1. Some layers have parameters, some don't. Most costs don't have
+   parameters.
+
+1. In some topologies, layers share parameters.  For
+   example,
+   [the network for training a ranking model](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/issues/1311#issuecomment-279121850).
+
+1. At programming time, users specify topologies and possible sharing
+   of parameters.  PaddlePaddle can figure out and create parameters
+   required (and possibly shared) by one or more topologies.
+
+
+## Starting from Examples
+
+As a summarization
+of
+[our disucssion](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/issues/1315),
+let us present two examples here:
+
+
+### Example 1. Sharing Parameters between Layers
+
+We use
+the
+[3-branch ranking](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/issues/1311#issuecomment-279121850) model
+in this example.  For your convenience, I copy-a-paste the model's
+topology as follows:
+
+```
+A -> f -\
+Q -> f --> cost
+B -> f -/
+```
+
+The following program trains the topology including the cost, and then
+use the sub-network in the trained topology in inference:
+
+```python
+def f(in):
+    e = paddle.layer.embedding(in, parameter_name="embedding")
+    o = paddle.layer.softmax(e, parameter_name="semantic")
+    return o
+
+# Create 3 topologies (subnets), they share parameters because all
+# correspoinding layers have the same parameter names.
+fA = f(paddle.layer.data(input_name="A"))
+fB = f(paddle.layer.data(input_name="B"))
+fQ = f(paddle.layer.data(input_name="Q"))
+
+topology = paddle.layer.less_than(
+               paddle.layer.cross_entropy(fA, fQ),
+               paddle.layer.corss_entropy(fB, fQ))
+
+# Derive parameters required in topology and create them in model.
+parameters = paddle.parameters.create(topology)
+
+# Estimate parameters used in topology from data.
+paddle.train(topology, parameters, reader=read_ranking_model_data)
+
+# Inference using fA (or fB or fC, as they share their parameters).
+[testA, testB, testQ] = read_ranking_model_data()
+print "The sematic-vector of testA: ", paddle.infer(fA, parameters, testA)
+```
+
+
+### Example 2. Sharing Parameters between "Models"
+
+We use [GAN](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/book/tree/develop/gan) in
+this example.  In the following example program, `d0` and `d1`
+correspond to the two networks in the following figure:
+
+<img src="https://github.com/wangyang59/book/raw/00036f4b0da5225041a6824587c1a01cf20159b1/gan/image/gan_ig.png" width=400 />
+
+```python
+def G(in):
+    # over-simplified example as G has only one layers:
+    return paddle.layer.fc(in, parameter_name="G")
+
+def D(in);
+    # again, over-simplified:
+    return paddle.layer.fc(in, parameter_name="D")
+
+# Construct the first topology, which contains both D and G.
+# By learning this topology, we update parameters of G.
+d0 = paddle.layer.should_be_false(D(G(paddle.layer.data())))
+
+# Construct a second topology d1, which contains only D. By
+# training this topology, we update parameters of D.  Note
+# that d1 share parameters with d0.
+d1 = paddle.layer.should_be_true(D(paddle.layer.data()))
+
+# Create parameters from a list of multiple topologies (models) for
+# the chance to share parameters between these topologies.
+parameters = paddle.parameters.create([d0, d1])
+
+# Iterative training of GAN.
+for ...:
+    train(d0, parameters, reader=read_from_rng, immutable_parameters={"D"})
+    train(d1, parameters, reader=read_from_realistic_images)
+
+# Use d1 for inference:
+print "D thinks a batch of images are realistic ", infer(d1, parameters, read_mnist_images)
+```
+
+
+### Summarization
+
+
+Above two programs reveal some important design concerns:
+
+1. Users describe a topology as an expression of layers.  Every layer
+   has a *parameter name*.  If the users don't specify it explicitly, it's automatically generated as a unique name.  By
+   specifying the parameter name, users can specify the sharing of
+   parameters between layers and even between topologies.
+
+1. `paddle.parameters.create` figures out parameters required by one
+   or more topologies from parameter names of layers.  It creates these
+   parameters and returns a `ParameterSet` object, which is in essence
+   a map from *parameter names* to *parameters*.
+
+1. At training and inference time, `paddle.train` and `paddle.infer`
+   requires both a topology and the parameter set that holds the parameters of that topology.  There are some reasons:
+
+   1. This prevents users from forgetting to call
+      `paddle.parameters.create`.
+   1. `paddle.train` needs to know which parameter set to update.
+   1. Users could load another (pre-trained) parameter set and use it
+      with a topology in `train.infer`.
+
+1. By specifying the `immutable_parameters` parameter of
+   `paddle.train`, we can forbid the update of these parameters.
+
+
+## Reader
+
+Not all programming frameworks allow users to define I/O functions.
+An example is Google MapReduce, which can only read from text,
+SSTable, and RecordIO files.  Hadoop MapReduce allows users to define
+readers and writers by deriving from base classes `Reader` and
+`Writer`.  The former is less flexible but also less error-prone.  We
+decide to provide the flexibility to users to define their readers.
+
+
+There are some open questions here:
+
+1. **Should a reader return a Python dictionary?**
+
+1. **How to map multiple outputs from a reader to multiple data layers?**
+
+1. **How to easily compose some existing readers to read more data and
+   feed a topology with more data layers?**
+
+
+## Training
+
+The recommended way to training a model is to call `paddle.train`,
+which simply calls `paddle.trainer.Default`, a global variable of
+type `paddle.trainer.SGD`.  Equivalently, we can do
+
+```python
+opt = paddle.trainer.SGD(..., paddle.updater.Adam(...))
+opt.train(topology, parameters, reader=read, ...)
+```
+
+### Updater
+
+Please be aware that a trainer can accept an updater as its data
+member, where an updater is a class derived from
+`paddle.trainer.Updater`.  This is to make it easier to customize
+trainers, as discussed
+[here](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/issues/1319).
+
+### Event Handler
+
+`paddle.train` and `paddle.trainer.XXX.train` take an optional
+parameter `event_handler`, which should be either `None` or a function
+that handle some events:
+
+1. BeginTraining
+1. EndTraining
+1. BeginIteration
+1. EndIteration
+1. BeginPass
+1. EndPass
+
+where EndPass is sent if and only if the reader yields
+`end_pass=True`.
+
+An example as follows:
+
+```python
+def event_handler(event):
+    if ininstance(event, paddle.event.EndIteration):
+        print paddle.test(...)
+
+paddle.train(topology, parameters, reader, event_handler)
+```
+
+If we are writing a PaddlePaddle program in and for iPython/Jypyter,
+we can use metaplotlib in the event handler to plot a curve of
+cost/error versus iterations, as shown
+[here](https://blog.dominodatalab.com/interactive-dashboards-in-jupyter/).
+
+### Distributed Training
+
+If users want to do distributed training on a cluster, s/he should
+call `paddle.dist_train` and provides access tokens to the cluster as
+a parameter.
+
+For example, if the user has a TLS certificate that allows him to
+access a Kubernetes cluster, s/he should be able to call
+
+```python
+paddle.dist_train(model,
+                  trainer=paddle.trainer.SGD(...,
+                                             paddle.updater.Adam(...)),
+                  reader=read,
+                  k8s_user="yi",
+                  k8s_token="kube_cluster_tls.pem",
+                  k8s_job="hello",
+                  num_parameter_servers=15)
+```
+
+The pseudo code if `paddle.dist_train` is as follows:
+
+```python
+def dist_train(topology, parameters, trainer, reader, ...):
+    if os.getenv("KUBERNETES_SERVICE_HOST") == None:
+        image_name = k8s_user + '/' + k8s_job
+        docker_build(image_name)
+        docker_push()
+        kube_ctrl_start_job(image_name, k8s_user, k8s_token)
+    else:
+        rank = kube_list_containers_in_job_and_return_current_containers_rank()
+        if rank == 0:
+            master()
+        elif rank < 15:
+            parameter_server()
+        else:
+            trainer.train(model, reader=read)
+```
+
+Please be aware that if a process is running on the Kubernetes
+cluster, it will have some environment variables pre-defined.
+
+If `dist_train` doesn't see these environment variables, it knows
+that it's running on users' personal computer, and it should work as a
+*launcher*.  Otherwise, it knows that it's running on the cluster and
+need to figure out its role as either the master, or a trainer, or a
+parameter server.

develop/doc/_sources/design/reader/README.md.txt

+# Python Data Reader Design Doc
+
+At training and testing time, PaddlePaddle programs need to read data. To ease the users' work to write data reading code, we define that
+
+- A *reader* is a function that reads data (from file, network, random number generator, etc) and yields data items.
+- A *reader creator* is a function that returns a reader function.
+- A *reader decorator* is a function, which accepts one or more readers, and returns a reader.
+- A *batch reader* is a function that reads data (from *reader*, file, network, random number generator, etc) and yields a batch of data items.
+
+and provide function which converts reader to batch reader, frequently used reader creators and reader decorators.
+
+## Data Reader Interface
+
+Indeed, *data reader* doesn't have to be a function that reads and yields data items. It can be any function with no parameter that creates a iterable (anything can be used in `for x in iterable`):
+
+```
+iterable = data_reader()
+```
+
+Element produced from the iterable should be a **single** entry of data, **not** a mini batch. That entry of data could be a single item, or a tuple of items. Item should be of [supported type](http://www.paddlepaddle.org/doc/ui/data_provider/pydataprovider2.html?highlight=dense_vector#input-types) (e.g., numpy 1d array of float32, int, list of int)
+
+An example implementation for single item data reader creator:
+
+```python
+def reader_creator_random_image(width, height):
+	def reader():
+		while True:
+			yield numpy.random.uniform(-1, 1, size=width*height)
+	return reader
+```
+
+An example implementation for multiple item data reader creator:
+```python
+def reader_creator_random_imageand_label(widht, height, label):
+	def reader():
+		while True:
+			yield numpy.random.uniform(-1, 1, size=width*height), label
+	return reader
+```
+
+## Batch Reader Interface
+
+*batch reader* can be any function with no parameter that creates a iterable (anything can be used in `for x in iterable`). The output of the iterable should be a batch (list) of data items. Each item inside the list must be a tuple.
+
+Here are valid outputs:
+```python
+# a mini batch of three data items. Each data item consist three columns of data, each of which is 1.
+[(1, 1, 1),
+(2, 2, 2),
+(3, 3, 3)]
+
+# a mini batch of three data items, each data item is a list (single column).
+[([1,1,1],),
+([2,2,2],),
+([3,3,3],),
+```
+
+Please note that each item inside the list must be a tuple, below is an invalid output:
+```python
+ # wrong, [1,1,1] needs to be inside a tuple: ([1,1,1],).
+ # Otherwise it's ambiguous whether [1,1,1] means a single column of data [1, 1, 1],
+ # or three column of datas, each of which is 1.
+[[1,1,1],
+[2,2,2],
+[3,3,3]]
+```
+
+It's easy to convert from reader to batch reader:
+```python
+mnist_train = paddle.dataset.mnist.train()
+mnist_train_batch_reader = paddle.batch(mnist_train, 128)
+```
+
+Also easy to create custom batch reader:
+```python
+def custom_batch_reader():
+	while True:
+		batch = []
+		for i in xrange(128):
+			batch.append((numpy.random.uniform(-1, 1, 28*28),)) # note that it's a tuple being appended.
+		yield batch
+
+mnist_random_image_batch_reader = custom_batch_reader
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+batch reader, mapping from item(s) read to data layer, batch size and number of total pass will be passed into `paddle.train`:
+
+```python
+# two data layer is created:
+image_layer = paddle.layer.data("image", ...)
+label_layer = paddle.layer.data("label", ...)
+
+# ...
+batch_reader = paddle.batch(paddle.dataset.mnist.train(), 128)
+paddle.train(batch_reader, {"image":0, "label":1}, 128, 10, ...)
+```
+
+## Data Reader Decorator
+
+*Data reader decorator* takes a single or multiple data reader, returns a new data reader. It is similar to a [python decorator](https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonDecorators), but it does not use `@` syntax.
+
+Since we have a strict interface for data readers (no parameter, return a single data item). Data reader can be used flexiable via data reader decorators. Following are a few examples:
+
+### Prefetch Data
+
+Since reading data may take time and training can not proceed without data. It is generally a good idea to prefetch data.
+
+Use `paddle.reader.buffered` to prefetch data:
+
+```python
+buffered_reader = paddle.reader.buffered(paddle.dataset.mnist.train(), 100)
+```
+
+`buffered_reader` will try to buffer (prefetch) `100` data entries.
+
+### Compose Multiple Data Readers
+
+For example, we want to use a source of real images (reusing mnist dataset), and a source of random images as input for [Generative Adversarial Networks](https://arxiv.org/abs/1406.2661).
+
+We can do:
+
+```python
+def reader_creator_random_image(width, height):
+	def reader():
+		while True:
+			yield numpy.random.uniform(-1, 1, size=width*height)
+	return reader
+
+def reader_creator_bool(t):
+	def reader:
+		while True:
+			yield t
+	return reader
+
+true_reader = reader_creator_bool(True)
+false_reader = reader_creator_bool(False)
+
+reader = paddle.reader.compose(paddle.dataset.mnist.train(), data_reader_creator_random_image(20, 20), true_reader, false_reader)
+# Skipped 1 because paddle.dataset.mnist.train() produces two items per data entry.
+# And we don't care second item at this time.
+paddle.train(paddle.batch(reader, 128), {"true_image":0, "fake_image": 2, "true_label": 3, "false_label": 4}, ...)
+```
+
+### Shuffle
+
+Given shuffle buffer size `n`, `paddle.reader.shuffle` will return a data reader that buffers `n` data entries and shuffle them before a data entry is read.
+
+Example:
+```python
+reader = paddle.reader.shuffle(paddle.dataset.mnist.train(), 512)
+```
+
+## Q & A
+
+### Why reader return only a single entry, but not a mini batch?
+
+Always returning a single entry make reusing existing data readers much easier (e.g., if existing reader return not a single entry but 3 entries, training code will be more complex because it need to handle cases like batch size 2).
+
+We provide function `paddle.batch` to turn (single entry) reader into batch reader.
+
+### Why do we need batch reader, isn't train take reader and batch_size as arguments sufficient?
+
+In most of the case, train taking reader and batch_size as arguments would be sufficent. However sometimes user want to customize order of data entries inside a mini batch. Or even change batch size dynamically.
+
+### Why use a dictionary but not a list to provide mapping?
+
+We decided to use dictionary (`{"image":0, "label":1}`) instead of list (`["image", "label"]`) is because that user can easily resue item (e.g., using `{"image_a":0, "image_b":0, "label":1}`) or skip item (e.g., using `{"image_a":0, "label":2}`).
+
+### How to create custom data reader creator
+
+```python
+def image_reader_creator(image_path, label_path, n):
+	def reader():
+		f = open(image_path)
+		l = open(label_path)
+		images = numpy.fromfile(
+			f, 'ubyte', count=n * 28 * 28).reshape((n, 28 * 28)).astype('float32')
+		images = images / 255.0 * 2.0 - 1.0
+		labels = numpy.fromfile(l, 'ubyte', count=n).astype("int")
+		for i in xrange(n):
+			yield images[i, :], labels[i] # a single entry of data is created each time
+		f.close()
+		l.close()
+	return reader
+
+# images_reader_creator creates a reader
+reader = image_reader_creator("/path/to/image_file", "/path/to/label_file", 1024)
+paddle.train(paddle.batch(reader, 128), {"image":0, "label":1}, ...)
+```
+
+### How is `paddle.train` implemented
+
+An example implementation of paddle.train could be:
+
+```python
+def train(batch_reader, mapping, batch_size, total_pass):
+	for pass_idx in range(total_pass):
+		for mini_batch in batch_reader(): # this loop will never end in online learning.
+			do_forward_backward(mini_batch, mapping)
+```

+Simple Linear Regression
+========================
+
+PaddlePaddle is a deep learning platform open-sourced by Baidu. With PaddlePaddle, you can easily train a classic neural network within a couple lines of configuration, or you can build sophisticated models that provide state-of-the-art performance on difficult learning tasks like sentiment analysis, machine translation, image caption and so on.
+
+Problem Background
+------------------
+
+Now, to give you a hint of what using PaddlePaddle looks like, let's start with a fundamental learning problem - `simple linear regression <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_linear_regression>`_: you have observed a set of two-dimensional data points of ``X`` and ``Y``, where ``X`` is an explanatory variable and ``Y`` is corresponding dependent variable, and you want to recover the underlying correlation between ``X`` and ``Y``. Linear regression can be used in many practical scenarios. For example, ``X`` can be a variable about house size, and ``Y`` a variable about house price. You can build a model that captures relationship between them by observing real estate markets.
+
+Prepare the Data
+-----------------
+
+Suppose the true relationship can be characterized as ``Y = 2X + 0.3``, let's see how to recover this pattern only from observed data. Here is a piece of python code that feeds synthetic data to PaddlePaddle. The code is pretty self-explanatory, the only extra thing you need to add for PaddlePaddle is a definition of input data types.
+
+    .. code-block:: python
+
+        # dataprovider.py
+        from paddle.trainer.PyDataProvider2 import *
+        import random
+
+        # define data types of input: 2 real numbers
+        @provider(input_types=[dense_vector(1), dense_vector(1)],use_seq=False)
+        def process(settings, input_file):
+            for i in xrange(2000):
+                x = random.random()
+                yield [x], [2*x+0.3]
+
+Train a NeuralNetwork
+----------------------
+
+To recover this relationship between ``X`` and ``Y``, we use a neural network with one layer of linear activation units and a square error cost layer. Don't worry if you are not familiar with these terminologies, it's just saying that we are starting from a random line ``Y' = wX + b`` , then we gradually adapt ``w`` and ``b`` to minimize the difference between ``Y'`` and ``Y``. Here is what it looks like in PaddlePaddle:
+
+    .. code-block:: python
+
+        # trainer_config.py
+        from paddle.trainer_config_helpers import *
+
+        # 1. read data. Suppose you saved above python code as dataprovider.py
+        data_file = 'empty.list'
+        with open(data_file, 'w') as f: f.writelines(' ')
+        define_py_data_sources2(train_list=data_file, test_list=None, 
+                module='dataprovider', obj='process',args={})
+
+        # 2. learning algorithm
+        settings(batch_size=12, learning_rate=1e-3, learning_method=MomentumOptimizer())
+
+        # 3. Network configuration
+        x = data_layer(name='x', size=1)
+        y = data_layer(name='y', size=1)
+        y_predict = fc_layer(input=x, param_attr=ParamAttr(name='w'), size=1, act=LinearActivation(), bias_attr=ParamAttr(name='b'))
+        cost = regression_cost(input=y_predict, label=y)
+        outputs(cost)
+
+Some of the most fundamental usages of PaddlePaddle are demonstrated:
+
+-  The first part shows how to feed data into PaddlePaddle. In general cases, PaddlePaddle reads raw data from a list of files, and then do some user-defined process to get real input. In this case, we only need to create a placeholder file since we are generating synthetic data on the fly.
+
+-  The second part describes learning algorithm. It defines in what ways adjustments are made to model parameters. PaddlePaddle provides a rich set of optimizers, but a simple momentum based optimizer will suffice here, and it processes 12 data points each time.
+
+-  Finally, the network configuration. It usually is as simple as "stacking" layers. Three kinds of layers are used in this configuration:
+	-  **Data Layer**: a network always starts with one or more data layers. They provide input data to the rest of the network. In this problem, two data layers are used respectively for ``X`` and ``Y``.
+	-  **FC Layer**: FC layer is short for Fully Connected Layer, which connects all the input units to current layer and does the actual computation specified as activation function. Computation layers like this are the fundamental building blocks of a deeper model.
+	-  **Cost Layer**: in training phase, cost layers are usually the last layers of the network. They measure the performance of current model, and provide guidence to adjust parameters.
+
+Now that everything is ready, you can train the network with a simple command line call:
+
+    .. code-block:: bash
+ 
+        paddle train --config=trainer_config.py --save_dir=./output --num_passes=30
+ 
+
+This means that PaddlePaddle will train this network on the synthectic dataset for 30 passes, and save all the models under path ``./output``. You will see from the messages printed out during training phase that the model cost is decreasing as time goes by, which indicates we are getting a closer guess.
+
+
+Evaluate the Model
+-------------------
+
+Usually, a different dataset that left out during training phase should be used to evalute the models. However, we are lucky enough to know the real answer: ``w=2, b=0.3``, thus a better option is to check out model parameters directly.
+
+In PaddlePaddle, training is just to get a collection of model parameters, which are ``w`` and ``b`` in this case. Each parameter is saved in an individual file in the popular ``numpy`` array format. Here is the code that reads parameters from last pass.
+
+    .. code-block:: python
+
+        import numpy as np
+        import os
+
+        def load(file_name):
+            with open(file_name, 'rb') as f:
+                f.read(16) # skip header for float type.
+                return np.fromfile(f, dtype=np.float32)
+                
+        print 'w=%.6f, b=%.6f' % (load('output/pass-00029/w'), load('output/pass-00029/b'))
+        # w=1.999743, b=0.300137
+
+    .. image:: parameters.png
+        :align: center
+
+Although starts from a random guess, you can see that value of ``w`` changes quickly towards 2 and ``b`` changes quickly towards 0.3. In the end, the predicted line is almost identical with real answer.
+
+There, you have recovered the underlying pattern between ``X`` and ``Y`` only from observed data.

+
+## <span id="ubuntu">Build on Ubuntu 14.04</span>
+
+### Install Dependencies
+
+- **Paddle Dependencies**
+
+    ```bash
+    # necessary
+    sudo apt-get update
+    sudo apt-get install -y git curl gcc g++ gfortran make build-essential automake
+    sudo apt-get install -y python python-pip python-numpy libpython-dev bison
+    sudo pip install 'protobuf==3.1.0.post1'
+
+    # install cmake 3.4
+    curl -sSL https://cmake.org/files/v3.4/cmake-3.4.1.tar.gz | tar -xz && \
+        cd cmake-3.4.1 && ./bootstrap && make -j4 && sudo make install && \
+        cd .. && rm -rf cmake-3.4.1
+    ```
+
+- **GPU Dependencies (optional)**
+
+    To build GPU version, you will need the following installed:
+
+        1. a CUDA-capable GPU
+        2. A supported version of Linux with a gcc compiler and toolchain
+        3. NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit (available at http://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads)
+        4. NVIDIA cuDNN Library (availabel at https://developer.nvidia.com/cudnn)
+
+    The CUDA development environment relies on tight integration with the host development environment,
+    including the host compiler and C runtime libraries, and is therefore only supported on
+    distribution versions that have been qualified for this CUDA Toolkit release.
+        
+    After downloading cuDNN library, issue the following commands:
+
+    ```bash
+    sudo tar -xzf cudnn-7.5-linux-x64-v5.1.tgz -C /usr/local
+    sudo chmod a+r /usr/local/cuda/include/cudnn.h /usr/local/cuda/lib64/libcudnn*
+    ```
+    Then you need to set LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH, PATH environment variables in ~/.bashrc.
+
+    ```bash
+    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+    export PATH=/usr/local/cuda/bin:$PATH
+    ```
+
+### Build and Install
+
+As usual, the best option is to create build folder under paddle project directory.
+
+```bash
+mkdir build && cd build
+``` 
+
+Finally, you can build and install PaddlePaddle:

+```bash
+# you can add build option here, such as:    
+cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<path to install>
+# please use sudo make install, if you want to install PaddlePaddle into the system
+make -j `nproc` && make install
+# set PaddlePaddle installation path in ~/.bashrc

+
+### Install Dependencies
+
+- **CPU Dependencies**
+
+    ```bash
+    # necessary
+    sudo yum update
+    sudo yum install -y epel-release
+    sudo yum install -y make cmake3 python-devel python-pip gcc-gfortran swig git
+    sudo pip install wheel numpy
+    sudo pip install 'protobuf>=3.0.0'
+    ```
+  
+- **GPU Dependencies (optional)**
+
+    To build GPU version, you will need the following installed:
+
+        1. a CUDA-capable GPU
+        2. A supported version of Linux with a gcc compiler and toolchain
+        3. NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit (available at http://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads)
+        4. NVIDIA cuDNN Library (availabel at https://developer.nvidia.com/cudnn)
+
+    The CUDA development environment relies on tight integration with the host development environment,
+    including the host compiler and C runtime libraries, and is therefore only supported on
+    distribution versions that have been qualified for this CUDA Toolkit release.
+        
+    After downloading cuDNN library, issue the following commands:
+
+    ```bash
+    sudo tar -xzf cudnn-7.5-linux-x64-v5.1.tgz -C /usr/local
+    sudo chmod a+r /usr/local/cuda/include/cudnn.h /usr/local/cuda/lib64/libcudnn*
+    ```
+    Then you need to set LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH, PATH environment variables in ~/.bashrc.
+
+    ```bash
+    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+    export PATH=/usr/local/cuda/bin:$PATH
+    ```
+
+### Build and Install
+
+As usual, the best option is to create build folder under paddle project directory.
+
+```bash
+mkdir build && cd build
+``` 
+
+Finally, you can build and install PaddlePaddle:
+
+```bash
+# you can add build option here, such as:    
+cmake3 .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<path to install>
+# please use sudo make install, if you want to install PaddlePaddle into the system
+make -j `nproc` && make install
+# set PaddlePaddle installation path in ~/.bashrc
+export PATH=<path to install>/bin:$PATH
+# install PaddlePaddle Python modules.
+sudo pip install <path to install>/opt/paddle/share/wheels/*.whl
+```

+PaddlePaddle in Docker Containers
+=================================
+
+Docker container is currently the only officially-supported way to
+running PaddlePaddle.  This is reasonable as Docker now runs on all
+major operating systems including Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows.
+Please be aware that you will need to change `Dockers settings
+<https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/issues/627>`_ to make full use
+of your hardware resource on Mac OS X and Windows.
+
+
+Development Using Docker
+------------------------
+
+Developers can work on PaddlePaddle using Docker.  This allows
+developers to work on different platforms -- Linux, Mac OS X, and
+Windows -- in a consistent way.
+
+1. Build the Development Environment as a Docker Image
+
+   .. code-block:: bash
+
+      git clone --recursive https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle
+      cd Paddle
+      docker build -t paddle:dev -f paddle/scripts/docker/Dockerfile .
+
+
+   Note that by default :code:`docker build` wouldn't import source
+   tree into the image and build it.  If we want to do that, we need
+   to set a build arg:
+
+   .. code-block:: bash
+
+      docker build -t paddle:dev -f paddle/scripts/docker/Dockerfile --build-arg BUILD_AND_INSTALL=ON .
+
+
+2. Run the Development Environment
+
+   Once we got the image :code:`paddle:dev`, we can use it to develop
+   Paddle by mounting the local source code tree into a container that
+   runs the image:
+
+   .. code-block:: bash
+
+      docker run -d -p 2202:22 -v $PWD:/paddle paddle:dev
+
+   This runs a container of the development environment Docker image
+   with the local source tree mounted to :code:`/paddle` of the
+   container.
+
+   Note that the default entry-point of :code:`paddle:dev` is
+   :code:`sshd`, and above :code:`docker run` commands actually starts
+   an SSHD server listening on port 2202.  This allows us to log into
+   this container with:
+
+   .. code-block:: bash
+
+      ssh root@localhost -p 2202
+
+   Usually, I run above commands on my Mac.  I can also run them on a
+   GPU server :code:`xxx.yyy.zzz.www` and ssh from my Mac to it:
+
+   .. code-block:: bash
+
+      my-mac$ ssh root@xxx.yyy.zzz.www -p 2202
+
+3. Build and Install Using the Development Environment
+
+   Once I am in the container, I can use
+   :code:`paddle/scripts/docker/build.sh` to build, install, and test
+   Paddle:
+
+   .. code-block:: bash
+
+      /paddle/paddle/scripts/docker/build.sh
+
+   This builds everything about Paddle in :code:`/paddle/build`.  And
+   we can run unit tests there:
+
+   .. code-block:: bash
+
+      cd /paddle/build
+      ctest
+
+
+CPU-only and GPU Images
+-----------------------
+
+For each version of PaddlePaddle, we release 2 Docker images, a
+CPU-only one and a CUDA GPU one.  We do so by configuring
+`dockerhub.com <https://hub.docker.com/r/paddledev/paddle/>`_
+automatically runs the following commands:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   docker build -t paddle:cpu -f paddle/scripts/docker/Dockerfile .
+   docker build -t paddle:gpu -f paddle/scripts/docker/Dockerfile.gpu .
+
+
+To run the CPU-only image as an interactive container:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    docker run -it --rm paddledev/paddle:cpu-latest /bin/bash
+
+or, we can run it as a daemon container
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    docker run -d -p 2202:22 paddledev/paddle:cpu-latest
+
+and SSH to this container using password :code:`root`:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    ssh -p 2202 root@localhost
+
+An advantage of using SSH is that we can connect to PaddlePaddle from
+more than one terminals.  For example, one terminal running vi and
+another one running Python interpreter.  Another advantage is that we
+can run the PaddlePaddle container on a remote server and SSH to it
+from a laptop.
+
+
+Above methods work with the GPU image too -- just please don't forget
+to install CUDA driver and let Docker knows about it:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    export CUDA_SO="$(\ls /usr/lib64/libcuda* | xargs -I{} echo '-v {}:{}') $(\ls /usr/lib64/libnvidia* | xargs -I{} echo '-v {}:{}')"
+    export DEVICES=$(\ls /dev/nvidia* | xargs -I{} echo '--device {}:{}')
+    docker run ${CUDA_SO} ${DEVICES} -it paddledev/paddle:gpu-latest
+
+
+Non-AVX Images
+--------------
+
+Please be aware that the CPU-only and the GPU images both use the AVX
+instruction set, but old computers produced before 2008 do not support
+AVX.  The following command checks if your Linux computer supports
+AVX:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   if cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i avx; then echo Yes; else echo No; fi
+
+
+If it doesn't, we will need to build non-AVX images manually from
+source code:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   cd ~
+   git clone https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle.git
+   cd Paddle
+   docker build --build-arg WITH_AVX=OFF -t paddle:cpu-noavx -f paddle/scripts/docker/Dockerfile .
+   docker build --build-arg WITH_AVX=OFF -t paddle:gpu-noavx -f paddle/scripts/docker/Dockerfile.gpu .
+
+
+Documentation
+-------------
+
+Paddle Docker images include an HTML version of C++ source code
+generated using `woboq code browser
+<https://github.com/woboq/woboq_codebrowser>`_.  This makes it easy
+for users to browse and understand the C++ source code.
+
+As long as we give the Paddle Docker container a name, we can run an
+additional Nginx Docker container to serve the volume from the Paddle
+container:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   docker run -d --name paddle-cpu-doc paddle:cpu
+   docker run -d --volumes-from paddle-cpu-doc -p 8088:80 nginx
+
+
+Then we can direct our Web browser to the HTML version of source code
+at http://localhost:8088/paddle/

+Debian Package installation guide
+=================================
+
+PaddlePaddle supports :code:`deb` pacakge. The installation of this :code:`deb` package is tested in ubuntu 14.04, but it should be support other debian based linux, too.
+
+There are four versions of debian package, :code:`cpu`, :code:`gpu`, :code:`cpu-noavx`, :code:`gpu-noavx`. And :code:`noavx` version is used to support CPU which does not contain :code:`AVX` instructions. The download url of :code:`deb` package is \: https://github.com/baidu/Paddle/releases/
+
+
+After downloading PaddlePaddle deb packages, you can use :code:`gdebi` install.
+
+..	code-block:: bash
+
+	gdebi paddle-*.deb
+
+If :code:`gdebi` is not installed, you can use :code:`sudo apt-get install gdebi` to install it.
+
+Or you can use following commands to install PaddlePaddle.
+
+..	code-block:: bash
+
+	dpkg -i paddle-*.deb
+	apt-get install -f
+
+And if you use GPU version deb package, you need to install CUDA toolkit and cuDNN, and set related environment variables(such as LD_LIBRARY_PATH) first. It is normal when `dpkg -i` get errors. `apt-get install -f` will continue install paddle, and install dependences.

+RNN Configuration
+=================
+
+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:
+
+- prepare sequence data for learning recurrent neural networks.
+- configure recurrent neural network architecture.
+- generate sequence with learned recurrent neural network models.
+
+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:`demo/seqToseq`.
+
+=====================
+Prepare Sequence Data
+=====================
+
+PaddlePaddle does not need any preprocessing to sequence data, such as padding. The only thing that needs to be done is to set the type of the corresponding type to input. For example, the following code snippets defines three input. All of them are sequences, and the size of them are :code:`src_dict`, :code:`trg_dict`, and :code:`trg_dict`:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    settings.input_types = [
+      integer_value_sequence(len(settings.src_dict)),
+      integer_value_sequence(len(settings.trg_dict)),
+      integer_value_sequence(len(settings.trg_dict))]
+
+
+Then at the :code:`process` function, each :code:`yield` function will return three integer lists. Each integer list is treated as a sequence of integers:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    yield src_ids, trg_ids, trg_ids_next
+
+
+For more details description of how to write a data provider, please refer to :ref:`api_pydataprovider2` . The full data provider file is located at :code:`demo/seqToseq/dataprovider.py`.
+
+===============================================
+Configure Recurrent Neural Network Architecture
+===============================================
+
+-------------------------------------
+Simple Gated Recurrent Neural Network
+-------------------------------------
+
+Recurrent neural network process a sequence at each time step sequentially. An example of the architecture of LSTM is listed below.
+
+.. image:: ../../../tutorials/sentiment_analysis/src/bi_lstm.jpg
+     :align: center
+
+Generally speaking, a recurrent network perform the following operations from :math:`t=1` to :math:`t=T`, or reversely from :math:`t=T` to :math:`t=1`.
+
+.. math::
+
+    x_{t+1} = f_x(x_t), y_t = f_y(x_t)
+
+
+where :math:`f_x(.)` is called **step function**, and :math:`f_y(.)` is called **output function**. 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:`recurrent_group`. Notice that if you only need to use simple RNN, GRU, or LSTM, then :code:`grumemory` and :code:`lstmemory` is recommended because they are more computationally efficient than :code:`recurrent_group`.
+
+For vanilla RNN, at each time step, the **step function** is:
+
+.. math::
+
+    x_{t+1} = W_x x_t + W_i I_t + b
+
+where :math:`x_t` is the RNN state, and :math:`I_t` is the input, :math:`W_x` and :math:`W_i` are transformation matrices for RNN states and inputs, respectively. :math:`b` is the bias.
+Its **output function** simply takes :math:`x_t` as the output.
+
+:code:`recurrent_group` is the most important tools for constructing recurrent neural networks. It defines the **step function**, **output function** and the inputs of the recurrent neural network. Notice that the :code:`step` argument of this function implements both the :code:`step function` and the :code:`output function`:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    def simple_rnn(input,
+                   size=None,
+                   name=None,
+                   reverse=False,
+                   rnn_bias_attr=None,
+                   act=None,
+                   rnn_layer_attr=None):
+        def __rnn_step__(ipt):
+           out_mem = memory(name=name, size=size)
+           rnn_out = mixed_layer(input = [full_matrix_projection(ipt),
+                                          full_matrix_projection(out_mem)],
+                                 name = name,
+                                 bias_attr = rnn_bias_attr,
+                                 act = act,
+                                 layer_attr = rnn_layer_attr,
+                                 size = size)
+           return rnn_out
+        return recurrent_group(name='%s_recurrent_group' % name,
+                               step=__rnn_step__,
+                               reverse=reverse,
+                               input=input)
+
+
+PaddlePaddle uses memory to construct step function. **Memory** 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 :math:`x_{t+1} = f_x(x_t)`. One memory contains an **output** and a **input**. 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 **boot layer**, 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:`rnn_out` is the same as the name of :code:`out_mem`. This means the output of the layer :code:`rnn_out` (:math:`x_{t+1}`) is utilized as the **output** of :code:`out_mem` memory.
+
+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.
+
+We return :code:`rnn_out` at the end of the function. It means that the output of the layer :code:`rnn_out` is utilized as the **output** function of the gated recurrent neural network.
+
+-----------------------------------------
+Sequence to Sequence Model with Attention
+-----------------------------------------
+We will use the sequence to sequence model with attention as an example to demonstrate how you can configure complex recurrent neural network models. An illustration of the sequence to sequence model with attention is shown in the following figure.
+
+.. image:: ../../../tutorials/text_generation/encoder-decoder-attention-model.png
+      :align: center
+
+In this model, the source sequence :math:`S = \{s_1, \dots, s_T\}` is encoded with a bidirectional gated recurrent neural networks. The hidden states of the bidirectional gated recurrent neural network :math:`H_S = \{H_1, \dots, H_T\}` is called *encoder vector* The decoder is a gated recurrent neural network. When decoding each token :math:`y_t`, the gated recurrent neural network generates a set of weights :math:`W_S^t = \{W_1^t, \dots, W_T^t\}`, 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 :math:`y_t`.
+
+The encoder part of the model is listed below. It calls :code:`grumemory` 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:`recurrent_group`. We have implemented most of the commonly used recurrent neural network architectures, you can refer to :ref:`api_trainer_config_helpers_layers` for more details.
+
+We also project the encoder vector to :code:`decoder_size` dimensional space, get the first instance of the backward recurrent network, and project it to :code:`decoder_size` dimensional space:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    # Define the data layer of the source sentence.
+    src_word_id = data_layer(name='source_language_word', size=source_dict_dim)
+    # Calculate the word embedding of each word.
+    src_embedding = embedding_layer(
+        input=src_word_id,
+        size=word_vector_dim,
+        param_attr=ParamAttr(name='_source_language_embedding'))
+    # Apply forward recurrent neural network.
+    src_forward = grumemory(input=src_embedding, size=encoder_size)
+    # Apply backward recurrent neural network. reverse=True means backward recurrent neural network.
+    src_backward = grumemory(input=src_embedding,
+                              size=encoder_size,
+                              reverse=True)
+    # Mix the forward and backward parts of the recurrent neural network together.
+    encoded_vector = concat_layer(input=[src_forward, src_backward])
+
+    # Project encoding vector to decoder_size.
+    encoder_proj = mixed_layer(input = [full_matrix_projection(encoded_vector)],
+                               size = decoder_size)
+
+    # Compute the first instance of the backward RNN.
+    backward_first = first_seq(input=src_backward)
+
+    # Project the first instance of backward RNN to decoder size.
+    decoder_boot = mixed_layer(input=[full_matrix_projection(backward_first)], size=decoder_size, act=TanhActivation())
+
+
+The decoder uses :code:`recurrent_group` to define the recurrent neural network. The step and output functions are defined in :code:`gru_decoder_with_attention`:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    group_inputs=[StaticInput(input=encoded_vector,is_seq=True),
+                  StaticInput(input=encoded_proj,is_seq=True)]
+    trg_embedding = embedding_layer(
+        input=data_layer(name='target_language_word',
+                         size=target_dict_dim),
+        size=word_vector_dim,
+        param_attr=ParamAttr(name='_target_language_embedding'))
+    group_inputs.append(trg_embedding)
+
+    # For decoder equipped with attention mechanism, in training,
+    # target embedding (the groudtruth) is the data input,
+    # while encoded source sequence is accessed to as an unbounded memory.
+    # StaticInput means the same value is utilized at different time steps.
+    # Otherwise, it is a sequence input. Inputs at different time steps are different.
+    # All sequence inputs should have the same length.
+    decoder = recurrent_group(name=decoder_group_name,
+                              step=gru_decoder_with_attention,
+                              input=group_inputs)
+
+
+The implementation of the step function is listed as below. First, it defines the **memory** of the decoder network. Then it defines attention, gated recurrent unit step function, and the output function:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    def gru_decoder_with_attention(enc_vec, enc_proj, current_word):
+        # Defines the memory of the decoder.
+        # The output of this memory is defined in gru_step.
+        # Notice that the name of gru_step should be the same as the name of this memory.
+        decoder_mem = memory(name='gru_decoder',
+                             size=decoder_size,
+                             boot_layer=decoder_boot)
+        # Compute attention weighted encoder vector.
+        context = simple_attention(encoded_sequence=enc_vec,
+                                   encoded_proj=enc_proj,
+                                   decoder_state=decoder_mem)
+        # Mix the current word embedding and the attention weighted encoder vector.
+        decoder_inputs = mixed_layer(inputs = [full_matrix_projection(context),
+                                               full_matrix_projection(current_word)],
+                                     size = decoder_size * 3)
+        # Define Gated recurrent unit recurrent neural network step function.
+        gru_step = gru_step_layer(name='gru_decoder',
+                                  input=decoder_inputs,
+                                  output_mem=decoder_mem,
+                                  size=decoder_size)
+        # Defines the output function.
+        out = mixed_layer(input=[full_matrix_projection(input=gru_step)],
+                          size=target_dict_dim,
+                          bias_attr=True,
+                          act=SoftmaxActivation())
+        return out

+=================
+After training the model, we can use it to generate sequences. A common practice is to use **beam search** to generate sequences. The following code snippets defines a beam search algorithm. Notice that :code:`beam_search` function assumes the output function of the :code:`step` returns a softmax normalized probability vector of the next token. We made the following changes to the model.
+
+* use :code:`GeneratedInput` for trg_embedding. :code:`GeneratedInput` computes the embedding of the generated token at the last time step for the input at the current time step.
+* use :code:`beam_search` function. This function needs to set:
+
+  - :code:`bos_id`: the start token. Every sentence starts with the start token.
+  - :code:`eos_id`: the end token. Every sentence ends with the end token.
+  - :code:`beam_size`: the beam size used in beam search.
+  - :code:`max_length`: the maximum length of the generated sentences.
+
+* use :code:`seqtext_printer_evaluator` to print text according to index matrix and dictionary. This function needs to set:
+
+  - :code:`id_input`: the integer ID of the data, used to identify the corresponding output in the generated files.
+  - :code:`dict_file`: the dictionary file for converting word id to word.
+  - :code:`result_file`: the path of the generation result file.
+    
+The code is listed below:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    group_inputs=[StaticInput(input=encoded_vector,is_seq=True),
+                  StaticInput(input=encoded_proj,is_seq=True)]
+    # In generation, decoder predicts a next target word based on
+    # the encoded source sequence and the last generated target word.
+    # The encoded source sequence (encoder's output) must be specified by
+    # StaticInput which is a read-only memory.
+    # Here, GeneratedInputs automatically fetchs the last generated word,
+    # which is initialized by a start mark, such as <s>.
+    trg_embedding = GeneratedInput(
+        size=target_dict_dim,
+        embedding_name='_target_language_embedding',
+        embedding_size=word_vector_dim)
+    group_inputs.append(trg_embedding)
+    beam_gen = beam_search(name=decoder_group_name,
+                           step=gru_decoder_with_attention,
+                           input=group_inputs,
+                           bos_id=0, # Beginnning token.
+                           eos_id=1, # End of sentence token.
+                           beam_size=beam_size,
+                           max_length=max_length)
+
+    seqtext_printer_evaluator(input=beam_gen,
+                              id_input=data_layer(name="sent_id", size=1),
+                              dict_file=trg_dict_path,
+                              result_file=gen_trans_file)
+    outputs(beam_gen)
+
+
+Notice that this generation technique is only useful for decoder like generation process. If you are working on sequence tagging tasks, please refer to :ref:`semantic_role_labeling` for more details.

+The full configuration file is located at :code:`demo/seqToseq/seqToseq_net.py`.

+# Contribute Code
+
+We sincerely appreciate your contributions. You can use fork and pull request
+workflow to merge your code.
+
+## Code Requirements
+- Your code must be fully documented by
+  [doxygen](http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/) style.
+- Make sure the compiler option WITH\_STYLE\_CHECK is on and the compiler
+  passes the code style check.
+- All code must have unit test.
+- Pass all unit tests.
+
+The following tutorial guides you into submitting your contibution.
+
+## [Creating a Fork](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/)
+
+Just head over to the GitHub page and click the "Fork" button.
+It's just that simple.
+
+## Clone
+
+Paddle is currently using [git-flow branching model](http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/).
+The **develop** is the main branch, and other user's branches are feature branches.
+
+Once you've created a fork, you can use your favorite git client to clone your
+repo or just head straight to the command line:
+
+```shell
+# Clone your fork to your local machine
+git clone --branch develop https://github.com/USERNAME/Paddle.git
+```
+If your repository doesn't contain **develop** branch, just create it by your own.
+
+```shell
+git clone https://github.com/USERNAME/Paddle.git Paddle
+cd Paddle
+git checkout -b develop  # create develop branch.
+git remote add upstream https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle.git  # add upstream to baidu/Paddle
+git pull upstream develop  # update to upstream
+```
+
+Then you can start to develop by making a local developement branch
+
+```shell
+git checkout -b MY_COOL_STUFF_BRANCH
+```
+
+## Using `pre-commit` hook
+
+Paddle developers use [pre-commit](http://pre-commit.com/) tool to manage git
+pre-commit hooks. It can help us format source codes (cpp, python), check some
+basic thing before commit (only one EOL for each file, do not add a huge file
+in git). `pre-commit` tests is a part of unit tests in Travis-CI now, every
+PR doesn't fit hook can not be merged into Paddle.
+
+To use [pre-commit](http://pre-commit.com/), you should install it by
+`pip install pre-commit`, and currently, Paddle uses `clang-format` to format
+c/cpp sources. Please make sure clang-format 3.8+ installed.
+
+Then just run `pre-commit install` in your Paddle clone directory. When you
+commit your code, the pre-commit hook will check the local code if there is
+anything not suitable to commit, and so on.
+
+## Commit
+
+Commit your changes by following command lines:
+
+```shell
+# show the working tree status
+git status
+# add modified files
+git add xx
+env EDITOR=vim git commit  # You can write your comments by vim/nano/emacs.
+```
+The first line of commit infomation is the title. The second and later lines
+are the details if any.
+
+## Keeping Fork Up to Date
+
+Before pull your request, you should sync your code from the latest PaddlePaddle.
+To do this, you'll need to add a remote at first:
+
+```shell
+# see the current configured remote repository
+git remote -v
+# add upstream repository
+git remote add upstream https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle.git
+# verify the new upstream
+git remote -v
+```
+
+Update your fork with the latest upstream changes:
+
+```shell
+git pull --rebase upstream develop
+```
+
+If there are no unique commits locally, git will simply perform a fast-forward.
+However, if you have been making changes (in the vast majority of cases you
+probably shouldn't be), you may have to deal with conflicts.
+
+Now, your local master branch is up-to-date with everything modified upstream.
+
+## Push to GitHub
+
+```shell
+# push to your repository in Github
+git push -u origin MY_COOL_STUFF_BRANCH  # create remote branch MY_COOL_STUFF_BRANCH to origin.
+```
+
+## Pull Request
+
+Go to the page for your fork on GitHub, select your development branch,
+and click the **pull request button**.
+
+## Update your pull request with the lastest version
+
+During the code review, your pull request may become stale because new commits in
+baidu/Paddle. GitHub allows autmotic update if there is no conflict. You can do this
+by clicking the "Update Branch" button in your pull request page. However, in the case
+of conflict, you need to do the update manually. You need to do the following on
+your local repository:
+```shell
+git checkout MY_COOL_STUFF_BRANCH
+git pull upstream develop
+# You may need to resolve the conflict according to the git prompt.
+# Make and test your code.
+git push origin MY_COOL_STUFF_BRANCH
+```
+Now your Pull Request is updated with the latest version.
+
+## Revise your pull request
+
+When you revise your pull request according to reviewer's comments, please use 'git commit' instead of 'git commit --amend' to commit your changes so that the reviewers can see the difference between the new pull requrest and the old pull request.
+
+The possible commands are
+
+```shell
+git checkout MY_COOL_STUFF_BRANCH
+git pull upstream develop   # update local to newest code base.
+# May be some conflicts will occured.
+# And develop your cool stuff
+env EDITOR=vim git commit  # add your revise log
+git push origin MY_COOL_STUFF_BRANCH
+```

+
+What's profiling?
+=================
+In software engineering, profiling is a form of dynamic program analysis that measures the space (memory) or time
+complexity of a program, the usage of particular instructions, or the frequency and duration of function calls.
+Most commonly, profiling information serves to aid program optimization.
+
+Briefly, profiler is used to measure application performance. Program analysis tools are extremely important for
+understanding program behavior. Simple profiling can tell you that how long does an operation take? For advanced
+profiling, it can interpret why does an operation take a long time?
+
+Why we need profiling?
+======================
+Since training deep neural network typically take a very long time to get over, performance is gradually becoming
+the most important thing in deep learning field. The first step to improve performance is to understand what parts
+are slow.  There is no point in improving performance of a region which doesn’t take much time!
+
+
+How to do profiling?
+====================
+To achieve maximum performance, there are five steps you can take to reach your goals.
+
+- Profile the code
+- Find the slow parts
+- Work out why they’re slow
+- Make them fast
+- Profile the code again
+
+Usually, processor has two key performance limits include float point throughput and
+memory throughput. For GPU,  it also need more parallelism to fulfill its potential.
+This is why they can be so fast.
+
+Profiler Tools
+==============
+For general GPU profiling, a bunch of tools are provided from both NVIDIA and third party.
+
+**nvprof** is Nvidia profiler and **nvvp** is (GUI based) Nvidia visual profiler.
+In this tutorial, we will focus on nvprof and nvvp.
+
+:code:`test_GpuProfiler` from :code:`paddle/math/tests` directory will be used to evaluate
+above profilers.
+
+.. literalinclude:: ../../../paddle/math/tests/test_GpuProfiler.cpp
+   :language: c++
+   :lines: 137-151
+   :linenos:
+
+The above code snippet includes two methods, you can use any of them to profile the regions of interest.
+
+1. :code:`REGISTER_TIMER_INFO` is a built-in timer wrapper which can calculate the time overhead of both cpu functions and cuda kernels.
+
+2. :code:`REGISTER_GPU_PROFILER` is a general purpose wrapper object of :code:`cudaProfilerStart` and :code:`cudaProfilerStop` to avoid
+program crashes when CPU version of PaddlePaddle invokes them.
+
+You can find more details about how to use both of them in the next session.
+
+Hands-on Approach
+=================
+
+Built-in Timer
+--------------
+
+To enable built-in timer in PaddlePaddle, first you have to add :code:`REGISTER_TIMER_INFO` into the regions of you interest.
+Then, all information could be stamped in the console via :code:`printStatus` or :code:`printAllStatus` function.
+As a simple example, consider the following:
+
+1. Add :code:`REGISTER_TIMER_INFO` and :code:`printAllStatus` functions (see the emphasize-lines).
+
+    .. literalinclude:: ../../../paddle/math/tests/test_GpuProfiler.cpp
+        :language: c++
+        :lines: 137-151
+        :emphasize-lines: 8-12,14
+        :linenos:
+
+2. Configure cmake with **WITH_TIMER** and recompile PaddlePaddle.
+
+    .. code-block:: bash
+
+        cmake .. -DWITH_TIMER=ON
+        make
+
+3. Execute your code and observe the results (see the emphasize-lines).
+
+    .. code-block:: bash
+        :emphasize-lines: 1,12-15

+
+nvprof profiler
+---------------
+
+To use this command line profiler **nvprof**, you can simply issue the following command:
+
+1. Add :code:`REGISTER_GPU_PROFILER` function (see the emphasize-lines).
+
+    .. literalinclude:: ../../../paddle/math/tests/test_GpuProfiler.cpp
+        :language: c++
+        :lines: 137-151
+        :emphasize-lines: 6-7
+        :linenos:
+
+2. Configure cmake with **WITH_PROFILER** and recompile PaddlePaddle.
+
+    .. code-block:: bash
+
+        cmake .. -DWITH_PROFILER=ON
+        make
+
+3. Use Nvidia profiler **nvprof** to profile the binary.
+
+    .. code-block:: bash
+
+        nvprof  ./paddle/math/tests/test_GpuProfiler
+
+Then, you can get the following profiling result:
+
+.. code-block:: bash

+nvvp profiler
+-------------
+
+For visual profiler **nvvp**, you can either import the output of :code:`nvprof –o ...` or
+run application through GUI.
+
+**Note: nvvp also support CPU profiling** (Click the box in nvvp to enable profile execution on CPU).
+
+..  image:: nvvp1.png
+    :align: center
+    :scale: 33%
+
+From the perspective of kernel functions, **nvvp** can even illustrate why does an operation take a long time?
+As shown in the following figure, kernel's block usage, register usage and shared memory usage from :code:`nvvp`
+allow us to fully utilize all warps on the GPU.
+
+..  image:: nvvp2.png
+    :align: center
+    :scale: 33%
+
+From the perspective of application, **nvvp** can give you some suggestions to address performance bottleneck.
+For instance, some advice in data movement and compute utilization from the below figure can guide you to tune performance.
+
+..  image:: nvvp3.png

+
+Profiling tips
+==============
+
+- The **nvprof** and **nvvp** output is a very good place to start.
+- The timeline is a good place to go next.
+- Only dig deep into a kernel if it’s taking a significant amount of your time.
+- Where possible, try to match profiler output with theory.
+    1) For example, if I know I’m moving 1GB, and my kernel takes 10ms, I expect the profiler to report 100GB/s.
+    2) Discrepancies are likely to mean your application isn’t doing what you thought it was.
+- Know your hardware: If your GPU can do 6 TFLOPs, and you’re already doing 5.5 TFLOPs, you won’t go much faster!
+
+
+Profiling is a key step in optimization. Sometimes quite simple changes can lead to big improvements in performance.
+Your mileage may vary!

+# Run Distributed Training
+
+In this article, we explain how to run distributed Paddle training jobs on clusters.  We will create the distributed version of the single-process training example, [recommendation](https://github.com/baidu/Paddle/tree/develop/demo/recommendation).
+
+[Scripts](https://github.com/baidu/Paddle/tree/develop/paddle/scripts/cluster_train) used in this article launch distributed jobs via SSH.  They also work as a reference for users running more sophisticated cluster management systems like MPI and [Kubernetes](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/tree/develop/doc/howto/usage/k8s).
+
+## Prerequisite
+
+1. Aforementioned scripts use a Python library [fabric](http://www.fabfile.org/) to run SSH commands.  We can use `pip` to install fabric:
+
+   ```bash
+   pip install fabric
+   ```
+
+1. We need to install PaddlePaddle on all nodes in the cluster.  To enable GPUs, we need to install CUDA in `/usr/local/cuda`; otherwise Paddle would report errors at runtime.
+
+1. Set the `ROOT_DIR` variable in [`cluster_train/conf.py`] on all nodes.  For convenience, we often create a Unix user `paddle` on all nodes and set `ROOT_DIR=/home/paddle`.  In this way, we can write public SSH keys into `/home/paddle/.ssh/authorized_keys` so that user `paddle` can SSH to all nodes without password.
+
+## Prepare Job Workspace
+
+We refer to the directory where we put dependent libraries, config files, etc., as *workspace*.
+
+These `train/test` data should be prepared before launching cluster job. To  satisfy the requirement that train/test data are placed in different directory from workspace, PADDLE refers train/test data according to index file named as `train.list/test.list` which are used in model config file. So the train/test data also contains train.list/test.list two list file. All local training demo already provides scripts to help you create these two files,  and all nodes in cluster job will handle files with same logical code in normal condition.
+
+Generally, you can use same model file from local training for cluster training. What you should have in mind that, the `batch_size` set in `setting` function in model file means batch size in `each` node of cluster job instead of total batch size if synchronization SGD was used.
+
+Following steps are based on [demo/recommendation](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/tree/develop/demo/recommendation) demo in demo directory.
+
+You just go through demo/recommendation tutorial doc until `Train` section, and at last you will get train/test data and model configuration file. Finaly, just use demo/recommendation as workspace for cluster training.
+
+At last your workspace should look like as follow:
+```
+.
+|-- common_utils.py
+|-- data
+|   |-- config.json
+|   |-- config_generator.py
+|   |-- meta.bin
+|   |-- meta_config.json
+|   |-- meta_generator.py
+|   |-- ml-1m
+|   |-- ml_data.sh
+|   |-- ratings.dat.test
+|   |-- ratings.dat.train
+|   |-- split.py
+|   |-- test.list
+|   `-- train.list
+|-- dataprovider.py
+|-- evaluate.sh
+|-- prediction.py
+|-- preprocess.sh
+|-- requirements.txt
+|-- run.sh
+`-- trainer_config.py
+```
+Not all of these files are needed for cluster training, but it's not necessary to remove useless files.
+
+`trainer_config.py`
+Indicates the model config file.
+
+`train.list` and `test.list`
+File index. It stores all relative or absolute file paths of all train/test data at current node.
+
+`dataprovider.py`
+used to read train/test samples. It's same as local training.
+
+`data`
+all files in data directory are refered by train.list/test.list which are refered by data provider.
+
+
+## Prepare Cluster Job Configuration
+
+The options below must be carefully set in cluster_train/conf.py
+
+`HOSTS`  all nodes hostname or ip that will run cluster job. You can also append user and ssh port with hostname, such as root@192.168.100.17:9090.
+
+`ROOT_DIR` workspace ROOT directory for placing JOB workspace directory
+
+`PADDLE_NIC` the NIC(Network Interface Card) interface name for cluster communication channel, such as eth0 for ethternet, ib0 for infiniband.
+
+`PADDLE_PORT` port number for cluster commnunication channel
+
+`PADDLE_PORTS_NUM` the number of port used for cluster communication channle. if the number of cluster nodes is small(less than 5~6nodes), recommend you set it to larger, such as 2 ~ 8, for better network performance.
+
+`PADDLE_PORTS_NUM_FOR_SPARSE` the number of port used for sparse updater cluster commnunication channel. if sparse remote update is used, set it like `PADDLE_PORTS_NUM`
+
+`LD_LIBRARY_PATH` set addtional LD_LIBRARY_PATH for cluster job. You can use it to set CUDA libraries path.
+
+Default Configuration as follow:
+
+```python
+HOSTS = [
+        "root@192.168.100.17",
+        "root@192.168.100.18",
+        ]
+
+'''
+workspace configuration
+'''
+
+#root dir for workspace
+ROOT_DIR = "/home/paddle"
+
+'''
+network configuration
+'''
+#pserver nics
+PADDLE_NIC = "eth0"
+#pserver port
+PADDLE_PORT = 7164
+#pserver ports num
+PADDLE_PORTS_NUM = 2
+#pserver sparse ports num
+PADDLE_PORTS_NUM_FOR_SPARSE = 2
+
+#environments setting for all processes in cluster job
+LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/cuda/lib64:/usr/lib64"
+```
+
+### Launching Cluster Job
+`paddle.py` provides automatical scripts to start all PaddlePaddle cluster processes in different nodes. By default, all command line options can set as `paddle.py` command options and `paddle.py` will transparently and automatically set these options to PaddlePaddle lower level processes.
+
+`paddle.py`provides two distinguished command option for easy job launching.
+
+`job_dispatch_package`  set it with local `workspace`directory, it will be dispatched to all nodes set in conf.py. It could be helpful for frequent hacking workspace files, otherwise frequent mulit-nodes workspace deployment could make your crazy.
+`job_workspace`  set it with already deployed workspace directory, `paddle.py` will skip dispatch stage to directly launch cluster job with all nodes. It could help to reduce heavy
+dispatch latency.
+
+`cluster_train/run.sh` provides command line sample to run `demo/recommendation` cluster job, just modify `job_dispatch_package` and `job_workspace` with your defined directory, then:
+```
+sh run.sh
+```
+
+The cluster Job will start in several seconds.
+
+### Kill Cluster Job
+`paddle.py` can capture `Ctrl + C` SIGINT signal to automatically kill all processes launched by it. So just stop `paddle.py` to kill cluster job. You should mannally kill job if program crashed.
+
+### Check Cluster Training Result
+Check log in $workspace/log for details, each node owns same log structure.
+
+`paddle_trainer.INFO`
+It provides almost all interal output log for training,  same as local training. Check runtime model convergence here.
+
+`paddle_pserver2.INFO`
+It provides pserver running log, which could help to diagnose distributed error.
+
+`server.log`
+It provides stderr and stdout of pserver process. Check error log if training crashs.
+
+`train.log`
+It provides stderr and stdout of trainer process. Check error log if training crashs.
+
+### Check Model Output
+After one pass finished, model files will be writed in `output` directory in node 0.
+`nodefile` in workspace indicates the node id of current cluster job.

+# Argument Outline
+
+It looks like there are a lot of arguments. However, most of them are for developers or alrealy set automatically in cluster submitting environment and users do not need to care about them. Here, we divide these arguments into serveral classes according to the scenario that they are used in. For example, the arguments in `common` can be used in all scenes. Some arguments can be only used in certain layers. Some are needed by multi machines training in cluster, etc.

+# Detail Description
+
+## Common
+
+* `--job`
+  - Job mode, including: **train, test, checkgrad**, where checkgrad is mainly for developers and users do not need to care about.
+  - type: string (default: train)
+
+* `--config`
+  - Use to specfiy network configure file.
+  - type: string (default: null).
+
+* `--use_gpu`
+  - Whether to use GPU for training, false is cpu mode and true is gpu mode.

+# Use Case
+
+## Local Training
+
+These command line arguments are commonly used by local training experiments, such as image classification, natural language processing, et al.
+
+```
+paddle train \
+  --use_gpu=1/0 \                        #1:GPU,0:CPU(default:true)
+  --config=network_config \
+  --save_dir=output \
+  --trainer_count=COUNT \                #(default:1)
+  --test_period=M \                      #(default:0) 
+  --num_passes=N \                       #(defalut:100)
+  --log_period=K \                       #(default:100)
+  --dot_period=1000 \                    #(default:1)
+  #[--show_parameter_stats_period=100] \ #(default:0)
+  #[--saving_period_by_batches=200] \    #(default:0)
+```
+`show_parameter_stats_period` and `saving_period_by_batches` are optional according to your task.
+
+### 1) Pass Command Argument to Network config
+
+`config_args` is a useful parameter to pass arguments to network config.
+
+```
+--config_args=generating=1,beam_size=5,layer_num=10 \
+```
+And `get_config_arg` can be used to parse these arguments in network config as follows:
+
+```
+generating = get_config_arg('generating', bool, False)
+beam_size = get_config_arg('beam_size', int, 3)
+layer_num = get_config_arg('layer_num', int, 8)
+```
+
+`get_config_arg`:
+
+```
+get_config_arg(name, type, default_value)
+```
+- name: the name specified in the `--config_args`
+- type: value type, bool, int, str, float etc.
+- default_value: default value if not set.
+
+### 2) Use Model to Initialize Network
+
+add argument:
+
+```
+--init_model_path=model_path
+--load_missing_parameter_strategy=rand
+```
+
+## Local Testing
+
+Method 1:
+
+```
+paddle train --job=test \
+             --use_gpu=1/0 \ 
+             --config=network_config \
+             --trainer_count=COUNT \ 
+             --init_model_path=model_path \
+```
+- use init\_model\_path to specify test model.
+- only can test one model.
+
+Method 2:
+
+```
+paddle train --job=test \
+             --use_gpu=1/0 \ 
+             --config=network_config \
+             --trainer_count=COUNT \ 
+             --model_list=model.list \
+```
+- use model_list to specify test models
+- can test several models, where model.list likes:
+
+```
+./alexnet_pass1
+./alexnet_pass2
+```
+
+Method 3:
+
+```
+paddle train --job=test \
+             --use_gpu=1/0 \
+             --config=network_config \
+             --trainer_count=COUNT \
+             --save_dir=model \
+             --test_pass=M \
+             --num_passes=N \
+```
+This way must use model path saved by Paddle like this: `model/pass-%5d`. Testing model is from M-th pass to (N-1)-th pass. For example: M=12 and N=14 will test `model/pass-00012` and `model/pass-00013`.
+
+## Sparse Training
+
+Sparse training is usually used to accelerate calculation when input is sparse data with highly dimension. For example, dictionary dimension of input data is 1 million, but one sample just have several words. In paddle, sparse matrix multiplication is used in forward propagation and sparse updating is perfomed on weight updating after backward propagation.
+
+### 1) Local training
+
+You need to set **sparse\_update=True** in network config.  Check the network config documentation for more details.
+
+### 2) cluster training
+
+Add the following argument for cluster training of a sparse model. At the same time you need to set **sparse\_remote\_update=True** in network config. Check the network config documentation for more details.
+
+```
+--ports_num_for_sparse=1    #(default: 0)
+```
+
+## parallel_nn
+`parallel_nn` can be set to mixed use of GPUs and CPUs to compute layers. That is to say, you can deploy network to use a GPU to compute some layers and use a CPU to compute other layers. The other way is to split layers into different GPUs, which can **reduce GPU memory** or **use parallel computation to accelerate some layers**.
+
+If you want to use these characteristics, you need to specify device ID in network config (denote it as deviceId) and add command line argument:
+
+```
+--parallel_nn=true
+```
+### case 1: Mixed Use of GPU and CPU
+Consider the following example:
+
+```
+#command line:
+paddle train --use_gpu=true --parallel_nn=true trainer_count=COUNT
+
+default_device(0)
+
+fc1=fc_layer(...)
+fc2=fc_layer(...)
+fc3=fc_layer(...,layer_attr=ExtraAttr(device=-1))
+
+```
+- default_device(0): set default device ID to 0. This means that except the layers with device=-1, all layers will use a GPU, and the specific GPU used for each layer depends on trainer\_count and gpu\_id (0 by default). Here, layer fc1 and fc2 are computed on the GPU.
+
+- device=-1: use the CPU for layer fc3.
+
+- trainer_count:
+  - trainer_count=1: if gpu\_id is not set, then use the first GPU to compute layers fc1 and fc2. Otherwise use the GPU with gpu\_id.
+
+  - trainer_count>1: use trainer\_count GPUs to compute one layer using data parallelism. For example, trainer\_count=2 means that GPUs 0 and 1 will use data parallelism to compute layer fc1 and fc2.
+
+### Case 2: Specify Layers in Different Devices
+
+```
+#command line:
+paddle train --use_gpu=true --parallel_nn=true --trainer_count=COUNT
+
+#network:
+fc2=fc_layer(input=l1, layer_attr=ExtraAttr(device=0), ...)
+fc3=fc_layer(input=l1, layer_attr=ExtraAttr(device=1), ...)
+fc4=fc_layer(input=fc2, layer_attr=ExtraAttr(device=-1), ...)
+```
+In this case, we assume that there are 4 GPUs in one machine.
+
+- trainer_count=1:
+  - Use GPU 0 to compute layer fc2.
+  - Use GPU 1 to compute layer fc3.
+  - Use CPU to compute layer fc4.
+
+- trainer_count=2:
+  - Use GPU 0 and 1 to compute layer fc2.
+  - Use GPU 2 and 3 to compute layer fc3.
+  - Use CPU to compute fc4 in two threads.
+
+- trainer_count=4:
+  - It will fail (note, we have assumed that there are 4 GPUs in machine), because argument `allow_only_one_model_on_one_gpu` is true by default.
+
+**Allocation of device ID when `device!=-1`**:
+
+```
+(deviceId + gpu_id + threadId * numLogicalDevices_) % numDevices_
+
+deviceId:             specified in layer.
+gpu_id:               0 by default.
+threadId:             thread ID, range: 0,1,..., trainer_count-1
+numDevices_:          device (GPU) count in machine.
+numLogicalDevices_:   min(max(deviceId + 1), numDevices_)
+```

+# Paddle On Kubernetes
+
+>In this article, we will introduce how to run Paddle training job on single CPU machine using Kubernetes. In next article, we will introduce how to run Paddle training job on distributed cluster.
+
+## Build Docker Image
+
+In distributed Kubernetes cluster, we will use Ceph or other shared storage system for storing training related data so that all processes in Paddle training can retrieve data from Ceph. In this example, we will only demo training job on single machine. In order to simplify the requirement of the environment, we will directly put training data into Paddle's Docker Image, so we need to create a Paddle Docker image that already includes the training data.
+
+Paddle's [Quick Start Tutorial](http://www.paddlepaddle.org/doc/demo/quick_start/index_en.html) introduces how to download and train data by using script from Paddle's source code.
+And `paddledev/paddle:cpu-demo-latest` image has the Paddle source code and demo. (Caution: Default Paddle image `paddledev/paddle:cpu-latest` doesn't include the source code, Paddle's different versions of image can be referred here: [Docker installation guide](http://www.paddlepaddle.org/doc/build/docker_install.html)), so we run this container and download the training data, and then commit the whole container to be a new Docker image.
+  
+### Run Docker Container
+
+```
+$ docker run --name quick_start_data -it paddledev/paddle:cpu-demo-latest
+```
+
+### Download Training Data
+
+Getting into `/root/paddle/demo/quick_start/data` Directory，using `get_data.sh` to download training data.
+Then getting into `/root/paddle/demo/quick_start` Directory, using `preprocess.sh` to pre-process training data.
+
+```
+$ root@fbd1f2bb71f4:~/paddle/demo/quick_start/data# ./get_data.sh
+
+Downloading Amazon Electronics reviews data...

+
+### Modify Startup Script
+
+After downloading the data，modify `/root/paddle/demo/quick_start/train.sh` file contents are as follows (one more cd cmd):
+```
+set -e
+cd /root/paddle/demo/quick_start
+cfg=trainer_config.lr.py
+#cfg=trainer_config.emb.py
+#cfg=trainer_config.cnn.py

+  --use_gpu=false \
+  --show_parameter_stats_period=100 \
+  --test_all_data_in_one_period=1 \
+  2>&1 | tee 'train.log'
+```
+
+### Commit Docker Image
+
+```
+$ docker commit quick_start_data mypaddle/paddle:quickstart
+```
+
+## Use Kubernetes For Training
+
+>We will use Kubernetes job for training process, following steps shows how to do the training with Kubernetes.
+
+### Create Yaml Files
+
+The output result in container will be demolished when job finished (container stopped running), so we need to mount the volume out to the local disk when creating the container to store the training result. Using our previously created image, we can create a [Kubernetes Job](http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/jobs/#what-is-a-job), the yaml contents are as follows:
+
+```
+apiVersion: batch/v1
+kind: Job
+metadata:
+  name: quickstart
+spec:
+  parallelism: 1
+  completions: 1
+  template:
+    metadata:
+      name: quickstart
+    spec:
+      volumes:
+      - name: output
+        hostPath: 
+          path: /home/work/paddle_output     
+      containers:
+      - name: pi
+        image: mypaddle/paddle:quickstart
+        command: ["bin/bash",  "-c", "/root/paddle/demo/quick_start/train.sh"]
+        volumeMounts:
+        - name: output
+          mountPath: /root/paddle/demo/quick_start/output
+      restartPolicy: Never
+```
+
+### Start Paddle Job
+
+Using the above yaml file to start the Kubernetes job.
+
+```
+$ kubectl  create -f paddle.yaml
+```
+
+Get the detailed status of the job:
+
+```
+$ kubectl  get job
+NAME         DESIRED   SUCCESSFUL   AGE

+# Chinese Word Embedding Model Tutorial #
+----------
+This tutorial is to guide you through the process of using a Pretrained Chinese Word Embedding Model in the PaddlePaddle standard format.
+
+We thank @lipeng for the pull request that defined the model schemas and pretrained the models.
+
+## Introduction ###
+### Chinese Word Dictionary ###
+Our Chinese-word dictionary is created on Baidu ZhiDao and Baidu Baike by using in-house word segmentor. For example, the participle of "《红楼梦》" is "《"，"红楼梦"，"》"，and "《红楼梦》". Our dictionary (using UTF-8 format) has has two columns: word and its frequency. The total word count is 3206325, including 3 special token:
+  - `<s>`: the start of a sequence
+  - `<e>`: the end of a sequence
+  - `<unk>`: a word not included in dictionary
+
+### Pretrained Chinese Word Embedding Model ###
+Inspired by paper [A Neural Probabilistic Language Model](http://www.jmlr.org/papers/volume3/bengio03a/bengio03a.pdf), our model architecture (**Embedding joint of six words->FullyConnect->SoftMax**) is as following graph. And for our dictionary, we pretrain four models with different word vector dimenstions, i.e 32, 64, 128, 256.

+<center>Figure 1. neural-n-gram-model</center>
+
+### Download and Extract ###
+To download and extract our dictionary and pretrained model, run the following commands.
+
+    cd $PADDLE_ROOT/demo/model_zoo/embedding
+    ./pre_DictAndModel.sh
+
+## Chinese Paraphrasing Example ##
+We provide a paraphrasing task to show the usage of pretrained Chinese Word Dictionary and Embedding Model.
+
+### Data Preparation and Preprocess ###
+
+First, run the following commands to download and extract the in-house dataset. The dataset (using UTF-8 format) has 20 training samples, 5 testing samples and 2 generating samples.
+
+    cd $PADDLE_ROOT/demo/seqToseq/data
+    ./paraphrase_data.sh
+
+Second, preprocess data and build dictionary on train data by running the following commands, and the preprocessed dataset is stored in `$PADDLE_SOURCE_ROOT/demo/seqToseq/data/pre-paraphrase`:
+
+    cd $PADDLE_ROOT/demo/seqToseq/
+    python preprocess.py -i data/paraphrase [--mergeDict]
+
+- `--mergeDict`: if using this option, the source and target dictionary are merged, i.e, two dictionaries have the same context. Here, as source and target data are all chinese words, this option can be used.
+
+### User Specified Embedding Model ###
+The general command of extracting desired parameters from the pretrained embedding model based on user dictionary is:
+
+    cd $PADDLE_ROOT/demo/model_zoo/embedding
+    python extract_para.py --preModel PREMODEL --preDict PREDICT --usrModel USRMODEL--usrDict USRDICT -d DIM
+
+- `--preModel PREMODEL`: the name of pretrained embedding model
+- `--preDict PREDICT`: the name of pretrained dictionary
+- `--usrModel USRMODEL`: the name of extracted embedding model
+- `--usrDict USRDICT`: the name of user specified dictionary
+- `-d DIM`: dimension of parameter
+
+Here, you can simply run the command:
+
+    cd $PADDLE_ROOT/demo/seqToseq/data/
+    ./paraphrase_model.sh
+
+And you will see following embedding model structure:
+
+    paraphrase_model
+    |--- _source_language_embedding
+    |--- _target_language_embedding
+
+### Training Model in PaddlePaddle ###
+First, create a model config file, see example `demo/seqToseq/paraphrase/train.conf`:
+
+    from seqToseq_net import *
+    is_generating = False
+
+    ################## Data Definition #####################
+    train_conf = seq_to_seq_data(data_dir = "./data/pre-paraphrase",
+                                 job_mode = job_mode)
+
+    ############## Algorithm Configuration ##################
+    settings(
+          learning_method = AdamOptimizer(),
+          batch_size = 50,
+          learning_rate = 5e-4)
+
+    ################# Network configure #####################
+    gru_encoder_decoder(train_conf, is_generating, word_vector_dim = 32)
+
+This config is almost the same as `demo/seqToseq/translation/train.conf`.
+
+Then, train the model by running the command:
+
+    cd $PADDLE_SOURCE_ROOT/demo/seqToseq/paraphrase
+    ./train.sh
+
+where `train.sh` is almost the same as `demo/seqToseq/translation/train.sh`, the only difference is following two command arguments:
+
+- `--init_model_path`: path of the initialization model, here is `data/paraphrase_model`
+- `--load_missing_parameter_strategy`: operations when model file is missing, here use a normal distibution to initialize the other parameters except for the embedding layer
+
+For users who want to understand the dataset format, model architecture and training procedure in detail, please refer to [Text generation Tutorial](../text_generation/index_en.md).
+
+## Optional Function ##
+###  Embedding Parameters Observation
+For users who want to observe the embedding parameters, this function can convert a PaddlePaddle binary embedding model to a text model by running the command:
+
+    cd $PADDLE_ROOT/demo/model_zoo/embedding
+    python paraconvert.py --b2t -i INPUT -o OUTPUT -d DIM
+
+- `-i INPUT`: the name of input binary embedding model
+- `-o OUTPUT`: the name of output text embedding model
+- `-d DIM`: the dimension of parameter
+
+You will see parameters like this in output text model:
+
+    0,4,32156096
+    -0.7845433,1.1937413,-0.1704215,0.4154715,0.9566584,-0.5558153,-0.2503305, ......
+    0.0000909,0.0009465,-0.0008813,-0.0008428,0.0007879,0.0000183,0.0001984, ......
+    ......
+
+- 1st line is **PaddlePaddle format file head**, it has 3 attributes:
+  - version of PaddlePaddle, here is 0
+  - sizeof(float), here is 4
+  - total number of parameter, here is 32156096
+- Other lines print the paramters (assume `<dim>` = 32)
+  - each line print 32 paramters splitted by ','
+  - there is 32156096/32 = 1004877 lines, meaning there is 1004877 embedding words
+
+### Embedding Parameters Revision
+For users who want to revise the embedding parameters, this function can convert a revised text embedding model to a PaddlePaddle binary model by running the command:
+
+    cd $PADDLE_ROOT/demo/model_zoo/embedding
+    python paraconvert.py --t2b -i INPUT -o OUTPUT
+
+- `-i INPUT`: the name of input text embedding model.
+- `-o OUTPUT`: the name of output binary embedding model
+
+Note that the format of input text model is as follows:
+
+    -0.7845433,1.1937413,-0.1704215,0.4154715,0.9566584,-0.5558153,-0.2503305, ......
+    0.0000909,0.0009465,-0.0008813,-0.0008428,0.0007879,0.0000183,0.0001984, ......
+    ......
+- there is no file header in 1st line
+- each line stores parameters for one word, the separator is commas ','
