<p>In tasks such as machine translation and visual captioning,
a <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/book/blob/develop/08.machine_translation/README.md">sequence decoder</a> is necessary to generate sequences, one word at a time.</p>
235 236 237
<p>This documentation describes how to implement the sequence decoder as an operator.</p>
<div class="section" id="beam-search-based-decoder">
<span id="beam-search-based-decoder"></span><h2>Beam Search based Decoder<a class="headerlink" href="#beam-search-based-decoder" title="永久链接至标题"></a></h2>
238 239 240 241 242
<p>The <a class="reference external" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_search">beam search algorithm</a> is necessary when generating sequences. It is a heuristic search algorithm that explores the paths by expanding the most promising node in a limited set.</p>
<p>In the old version of PaddlePaddle, the C++ class <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">RecurrentGradientMachine</span></code> implements the general sequence decoder based on beam search, due to the complexity involved, the implementation relies on a lot of special data structures that are quite trivial and hard to be customized by users.</p>
<p>There are a lot of heuristic tricks in the sequence generation tasks, so the flexibility of sequence decoder is very important to users.</p>
<p>During the refactoring of PaddlePaddle, some new concepts are proposed such as:  <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/paddle/framework/lod_tensor.md">LoDTensor</a> and <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/doc/design/tensor_array.md">TensorArray</a> that can better support the sequence usage, and they can also help make the implementation of beam search based sequence decoder <strong>more transparent and modular</strong> .</p>
<p>For example, the RNN states, candidates IDs and probabilities of beam search can be represented all as <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">LoDTensors</span></code>;
243 244 245 246
the selected candidate&#8217;s IDs in each time step can be stored in a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">TensorArray</span></code>, and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Packed</span></code> to the sentences translated.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="changing-lod-s-absolute-offset-to-relative-offsets">
<span id="changing-lod-s-absolute-offset-to-relative-offsets"></span><h2>Changing LoD&#8217;s absolute offset to relative offsets<a class="headerlink" href="#changing-lod-s-absolute-offset-to-relative-offsets" title="永久链接至标题"></a></h2>
247 248 249
<p>The current <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">LoDTensor</span></code> is designed to store levels of variable-length sequences. It stores several arrays of integers where each represents a level.</p>
<p>The integers in each level represent the begin and end (not inclusive) offset of a sequence <strong>in the underlying tensor</strong>,
let&#8217;s call this format the <strong>absolute-offset LoD</strong> for clarity.</p>
250
<p>The absolute-offset LoD can retrieve any sequence very quickly but fails to represent empty sequences, for example, a two-level LoD is as follows</p>
251 252 253 254 255 256 257 258 259 260 261
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="p">[[</span><span class="mi">0</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="mi">3</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="mi">9</span><span class="p">]</span>
 <span class="p">[</span><span class="mi">0</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="mi">2</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="mi">3</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="mi">3</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="mi">3</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="mi">9</span><span class="p">]]</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The first level tells that there are two sequences:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>the first&#8217;s offset is <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">[0,</span> <span class="pre">3)</span></code></li>
<li>the second&#8217;s offset is <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">[3,</span> <span class="pre">9)</span></code></li>
</ul>
<p>while on the second level, there are several empty sequences that both begin and end at <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">3</span></code>.
It is impossible to tell how many empty second-level sequences exist in the first-level sequences.</p>
262
<p>There are many scenarios that rely on empty sequence representation, for example in machine translation or visual captioning, one instance has no translation or the empty candidate set for a prefix.</p>
263 264 265 266 267 268 269 270 271 272 273
<p>So let&#8217;s introduce another format of LoD,
it stores <strong>the offsets of the lower level sequences</strong> and is called <strong>relative-offset</strong> LoD.</p>
<p>For example, to represent the same sequences of the above data</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="p">[[</span><span class="mi">0</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="mi">3</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="mi">6</span><span class="p">]</span>
 <span class="p">[</span><span class="mi">0</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="mi">2</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="mi">3</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="mi">3</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="mi">3</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="mi">9</span><span class="p">]]</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>the first level represents that there are two sequences,
their offsets in the second-level LoD is <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">[0,</span> <span class="pre">3)</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">[3,</span> <span class="pre">5)</span></code>.</p>
<p>The second level is the same with the relative offset example because the lower level is a tensor.
It is easy to find out the second sequence in the first-level LoD has two empty sequences.</p>
274
<p>The following examples are based on relative-offset LoD.</p>

278 279
<p>Let&#8217;s start from a simple machine translation model that is simplified from the <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/book/tree/develop/08.machine_translation">machine translation chapter</a> to draw a blueprint of what a sequence decoder can do and how to use it.</p>
<p>The model has an encoder that learns the semantic vector from a sequence, and a decoder which uses the sequence encoder to generate new sentences.</p>

<p>The <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">decoder.beam_search</span></code> is an operator that, given the candidates and the scores of translations including the candidates,
returns the result of the beam search algorithm.</p>
<p>In this way, users can customize anything on the input or output of beam search, for example:</p>
367
<ol class="simple">
368 369 370
<li>Make the corresponding elements in <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">topk_generated_scores</span></code> zero or some small values, beam_search will discard this candidate.</li>
<li>Remove some specific candidate in <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">selected_ids</span></code>.</li>
<li>Get the final <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">translation_ids</span></code>, remove the translation sequence in it.</li>
371
</ol>
372 373 374
<p>The implementation of sequence decoder can reuse the C++ class:  <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/Superjom/Paddle/blob/68cac3c0f8451fe62a4cdf156747d6dc0ee000b3/paddle/operators/dynamic_recurrent_op.h#L30">RNNAlgorithm</a>,
so the python syntax is quite similar to that of an  <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/Superjom/Paddle/blob/68cac3c0f8451fe62a4cdf156747d6dc0ee000b3/doc/design/block.md#blocks-with-for-and-rnnop">RNN</a>.</p>
<p>Both of them are two-level <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">LoDTensors</span></code>:</p>
375
<ul class="simple">
376 377
<li>The first level represents <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">batch_size</span></code> of (source) sentences.</li>
<li>The second level represents the candidate ID sets for translation prefix.</li>
378
</ul>
379 380 381
<p>For example, 3 source sentences to translate, and has 2, 3, 1 candidates.</p>
<p>Unlike an RNN, in sequence decoder, the previous state and the current state have different LoD and shape, and an <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">lod_expand</span></code> operator is used to expand the LoD of the previous state to fit the current state.</p>
<p>For example, the previous state:</p>
382 383 384 385
<ul class="simple">
<li>LoD is <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">[0,</span> <span class="pre">1,</span> <span class="pre">3][0,</span> <span class="pre">2,</span> <span class="pre">5,</span> <span class="pre">6]</span></code></li>
<li>content of tensor is <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">a1</span> <span class="pre">a2</span> <span class="pre">b1</span> <span class="pre">b2</span> <span class="pre">b3</span> <span class="pre">c1</span></code></li>
</ul>
386
<p>the current state is stored in <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">encoder_ctx_expanded</span></code>:</p>
387 388 389 390 391 392 393 394 395 396 397 398
<ul class="simple">
<li>LoD is <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">[0,</span> <span class="pre">2,</span> <span class="pre">7][0</span> <span class="pre">3</span> <span class="pre">5</span> <span class="pre">8</span> <span class="pre">9</span> <span class="pre">11</span> <span class="pre">11]</span></code></li>
<li>the content is<ul>
<li>a1 a1 a1 (a1 has 3 candidates, so the state should be copied 3 times for each candidates)</li>
<li>a2 a2</li>
<li>b1 b1 b1</li>
<li>b2</li>
<li>b3 b3</li>
<li>None (c1 has 0 candidates, so c1 is dropped)</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
399 400
<p>The benefit from the relative offset LoD is that the empty candidate set can be represented naturally.</p>
<p>The status in each time step can be stored in <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">TensorArray</span></code>, and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Pack</span></code>ed to a final LoDTensor. The corresponding syntax is:</p>
401 402 403 404
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">decoder</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">output</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">selected_ids</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="n">decoder</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">output</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">selected_generation_scores</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
405 406 407
<p>The <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">selected_ids</span></code> are the candidate ids for the prefixes, and will be <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Packed</span></code> by <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">TensorArray</span></code> to a two-level <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">LoDTensor</span></code>, where the first level represents the source sequences and the second level represents generated sequences.</p>
<p>Packing the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">selected_scores</span></code> will get a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">LoDTensor</span></code> that stores scores of each translation candidate.</p>
<p>Packing the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">selected_generation_scores</span></code> will get a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">LoDTensor</span></code>, and each tail is the probability of the translation.</p>

<p>The beam search algorithm will be implemented as one method of the sequence decoder and has 3 inputs:</p>
418
<ol class="simple">
419
<li><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">topk_ids</span></code>, the top K candidate ids for each prefix.</li>
420 421 422
<li><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">topk_scores</span></code>, the corresponding scores for <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">topk_ids</span></code></li>
<li><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">generated_scores</span></code>, the score of the prefixes.</li>
</ol>
423 424
<p>All of these are LoDTensors, so that the sequence affiliation is clear. Beam search will keep a beam for each prefix and select a smaller candidate set for each prefix.</p>
<p>It will return three variables:</p>
425 426 427
<ol class="simple">
<li><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">selected_ids</span></code>, the final candidate beam search function selected for the next step.</li>
<li><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">selected_scores</span></code>, the scores for the candidates.</li>
428
<li><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">generated_scores</span></code>, the updated scores for each prefix (with the new candidates appended).</li>

<p>The <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">selected_ids</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">selected_scores</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">generated_scores</span></code> are LoDTensors that exist at each time step,
434
so it is natural to store them in arrays.</p>
435 436 437
<p>Currently, PaddlePaddle has a module called <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">TensorArray</span></code> which can store an array of tensors. It is better to store the results of beam search in a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">TensorArray</span></code>.</p>
<p>The <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Pack</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">UnPack</span></code> in <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">TensorArray</span></code> are used to pack tensors in the array to an <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">LoDTensor</span></code> or split the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">LoDTensor</span></code> to an array of tensors.
It needs some extensions to support the packing or unpacking an array of <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">LoDTensors</span></code>.</p>
