-Ubuntu部署PaddlePaddle
-===================================
-
-PaddlePaddle提供了ubuntu 14.04 deb安装包。
-
-安装
-------
-
-安装包的下载地址是\: https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/releases
-
-它包含四个版本\:
-
-* cpu版本: 支持主流x86处理器平台, 使用了avx指令集。
-
-* cpu-noavx版本：支持主流x86处理器平台，没有使用avx指令集。
-
-* gpu版本：支持主流x86处理器平台，支持nvidia cuda平台，使用了avx指令集。
-
-* gpu-noavx版本：支持主流x86处理器平台，支持nvidia cuda平台，没有使用avx指令集。
-
-下载完相关安装包后，执行:
-
-..  code-block:: shell
-
-    sudo apt-get install gdebi
-    gdebi paddle-*-cpu.deb
-
-或者:
-
-..  code-block:: shell
-
-    dpkg -i paddle-*-cpu.deb
-    apt-get install -f
-
-
-在 :code:`dpkg -i` 的时候如果报一些依赖未找到的错误是正常的，
-在 :code:`apt-get install -f` 里会继续安装 PaddlePaddle。
-
-安装完成后，可以使用命令 :code:`paddle version` 查看安装后的paddle 版本:
-
-..  code-block:: shell
-
-    PaddlePaddle 0.8.0b1, compiled with
-        with_avx: ON
-        with_gpu: OFF
-        with_double: OFF
-        with_python: ON
-        with_rdma: OFF
-        with_timer: OFF
-        with_predict_sdk:
-
-
-可能遇到的问题
---------------
-
-libcudart.so/libcudnn.so找不到
-++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-
-安装完成后，运行 :code:`paddle train` 报错\:
-
-..  code-block:: shell
-
-      0831 12:36:04.151525  1085 hl_dso_loader.cc:70] Check failed: nullptr != *dso_handle For Gpu version of PaddlePaddle, it couldn't find CUDA library: libcudart.so Please make sure you already specify its path.Note: for training data on Cpu using Gpu version of PaddlePaddle,you must specify libcudart.so via LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
-
-原因是未设置cuda运行时环境变量。 如果使用GPU版本的PaddlePaddle，请安装CUDA 7.5 和CUDNN 5到本地环境中，并设置：
-
-..  code-block:: shell
-
-    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda/lib64:/usr/local/cuda/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
-    export PATH=/usr/local/cuda/bin:$PATH

-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.

+    This layer is used in learning to search models, which is to solve complex
+    joint prediction problems based on learning to search through a
+    problem-defined search space.
+
+    Specifically, the learning to search process for this layer begins with
+    searching a target sequence from a nested sequence. In the first search
+    step, top beam size sequences with highest scores, indices of these top k
+    sequences in the original nested sequence, and the ground truth (also
+    called gold) altogether (a triple) make up of the first beam.
+
+    Then, several special positions, for example, start and end positions
+    that define meaningful segments are searched. In these searches, top k
+    positions with highest scores are selected, and then sequence, starting
+    from the selected starts till ends of the sequences (or a fixed position)
+    are taken to search next.
+
+    We call the possible top k results returned in one search the beam. This
+    search process can be repeated for pre-defined turns and leads to several
+    beam expansions.
+
+    Finally, the layer cross_entropy_over_beam takes all the beam expansions
+    which contain several candidate targets found along the multi-step search.
+    cross_entropy_over_beam calculates cross entropy over the expanded beams
+    which all the candidates in the beam as the normalized factor.
+
+    Note that, if gold falls off the beam at search step t, then the cost is
+    calculated over the beam at step t.
+
+    This cost layer always works together with kmax_sequence_score_layer,
+    sub_nested_seq_layer, and sequence_slice_layer to trim the input to form a
+    sub-search space.
