+# Executor Design Doc
+
+## Motivation
+
+We use executor to do the runtime evaluation of a `ProgramDesc`.
+
+## Overview
+
+An executor takes a `ProgramDesc`, a `block_id` and a `Scope`.  The `ProgramDesc` is a list of blocks and each block contains the protobuf definition of all the parameters and operators. The `block_id` specifies the entrance block. And the `Scope` is the container of all the variable instance, which is persistent throughout different runs.
+
+### What does executor do?
+
+It evaluates all the operators in the `block_id`th block of a `ProgramDesc`.
+
+### What does executor NOT do?
+
+It does not do runtime optimization, meaning intelligently parse the dependency of each op a choose which one to be run and in which order they should be run.
+
+It does not do graph partitioning, meaning dividing the `ProgramDesc` into several small pieces and executing them on different devices.
+
+## Implementation
+
+`Executor` evaluates a `ProgramDesc`. Essentially, it instantiates Variables and Operators, then run all the operators in sequence. [[code]](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/paddle/framework/executor.cc)

+# Design Doc: InferVarType
+
+## The Problem Posed
+
+The variable in our design can hold variant types. Such as `LoDTensor` and `SelectedRows`. An operator should be able to inference the variable types of its output.
+
+For example, a `lookup table` operator takes two `LoDTensor`; one is a float tensor as the embedding table, the other is an int tensor as word ID. The gradient operator of `lookup table` will generate a `SelectedRows` as its output. A `sum` operator can take both `LoDTensor` and `SelectedRows` as its inputs and will generate a `LoDTensor` if any of its inputs is `LoDTensor`, otherwise, the `sum` operator will generate `SelectedRows` as its output.
+
+The variable type will be constant at runtime. Every variable's type can either be set by the user (input data and parameter) or be inferred by the operator in compile time.
+
+## Proposed Solution
+
+The `InferVarType` is a compile-time function which is registered to each operator. The inferface of that function is:
+
+
+```c++
+using InferVarTypeFN = std::function<
+    void (const OpDescBind& /*op_desc*/, BlockDescBind* /*block*/)>;
+```
+
+It takes an operator description as its input and will write the output variable type and store them in block description.
+
+The `InferVarTypeFN` will be registered in `OpInfo`, to replace `infer_var_type_` field. The `OpInfo` should be
+
+```cpp
+struct OpInfo {
+  InferVarTypeFN infer_var_type_;
+  ...
+};
+```
+
+The default `InferVarType` will set output type as `LoDTensor`. It can be done by `GetInferVarType()`.
+
+```cpp
+void DefaultInferVarType(const OpDescBind& op_desc, BlockDescBind* block) {
+  // set the output type of variable as `LoDTensor`.
+  // ...
+}
+
+struct OpInfo {
+  InferVarTypeFN infer_var_type_;
+  InferVarTypeFN GetInferVarType() const {
+    if (infer_var_type_) {
+      return infer_var_type_;
+    } else {
+      return DefaultInferVarType;
+    }
+  }
+};
+```
+
+## Register InferVarType
+
+We provide a thin base class for registering an `InferVarTypeFN`. To use a base class will ease the implementation of registry since we can detect the registry entry is an `InferVarTypeFN` or not.
+
+```cpp
+class VarTypeInferer {
+public:
+  virtual void operator()(const OpDescBind& op_desc, BlockDescBind* block) const = 0;
+}
+```
+
+Operator developers can write the specialize `VarTypeInferer` as follow.
+
+```cpp
+class SpecialVarTypeInferer : public VarTypeInferer {
+public:
+  virtual void operator()(const OpDescBind& op_desc, BlockDescBind* block) const {
+    // .. own logic
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Then user can register the `InferVarType` just like `GradOpDescMaker` and `OpInfoMaker`.
+
+```
+REGISTER_OPERATOR(some_op, OpType, SpecialVarTypeInferer, ...);
+```

-A layer is a Python function that creates some operators and variables.  Layers simplify the work of application programmers.
+A layer is a Python function that creates some operators and variables. Layers simplify the work of application programmers.
 
-### Data Layer
+Layer functions take `Variable` and configuration parameters as its input and return the output variable(s).
+
+For example, `FullyConnected` take one or more variable as its input. The input could be input data or another layer's output. There are many configuration options for a `FullyConnected` layer, such as layer size, activation, parameter names, initialization strategies of parameters, and so on. The `FullyConnected` layer will return an output variable.
+
+
+### Necessity for reusing code between layer functions
+
+There are a lot of code that can be reused. Such as
+
+* Give the default value of configuration. e.g., default initialize strategy for parameters is uniform random with `min = -1.0`, `max = 1.0`. and default initialize strategy for bias is to fill zero.
+* Append the activation operator.
+* Create a temporary variable.
+* Create parameter.
+* Generate a unique name.
+* Add a bias.
+* ...
+
+A mechanism to reuse code between layer functions is necessary. It will be around [150 lines of code](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/pull/4724/files#diff-823b27e07e93914ada859232ae23f846R12) if we write a `FullyConnected` layer without any helper functions.
+
+
+
+### Comparision between global functions and helper class
+
+The `FullyConnected` layer will be as follow when we provide global functions:
 
 ```python
-def data_layer(name, type, column_name):
-    block = the_current_program.glolal_block()
-    var = block.create_global_var(
-            name=name,
-            shape=[None] + type.dims(),
-            dtype=type.dtype)
-    block.prepend_operator(block,
-                           type="Feed",
-                           inputs = None,
-                           outputs = [var],
-                           {column_name: column_name})
-    return var
+def fc_layer(input, size, param_attr=None, bias_attr=None, act=None, name=None):
+  if name is None:
+    name = unique_name("fc")
+  input = multiple_input(input)
+  param_attr = default_param_attr(param_attr)
+  param_attr = multiple_param_attr(param_attr, len(input))
+
+  # mul
+  mul_results = []
+  for ipt, attr in zip(input, param_attr):
+    shape = ipt.shape[1:] + [size]
+    w = g_program.global_block().create_parameter(shape, ipt.dtype, name, attr)
+    tmp = create_tmp_var(name)
+    g_program.current_block().append_op("mul", {ipt, w}, {tmp})
+  mul_results.append(tmp)
+
+  # add sum
+  ...
+  # add bias
+  ...
+  # add activation
+  ...
+  return out
 ```
 
-The input to the feed operator is a special variable in the global scope, which is the output of [Python readers](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/doc/design/reader/README.md).
+We can provide many helpers functions for layer developers. However, there are several disadvantages for global helper functions:
+
+1. We need a namespace for these methods, then layer developers can quickly figure out what method they can use.
+2. Global functions will force layer developers to pass its parameter time by time.
+
+So we provide a helper class, `LayerHelper`, to share code between layer functions. The `FullyConnected` Layer will be as follow.
+
+```python
+def fc_layer(input, size, param_attr=None, bias_attr=None, act=None, name=None):
+  helper = LayerHelper(locals())  # pass all parameter to LayerHelper
+
+  mul_results = []
+  for ipt, param in helper.iter_multiple_input_and_param():
+    w = helper.create_parameter(shape=ipt.shape[1:] + [size], dtype = ipt.dtype)
+    tmp = helper.create_tmp_variable()
+    helper.append_op('mul', {ipt, w}, {tmp})
+    mul_results.append(tmp)
+
+  pre_bias = helper.add_sum(mul_results)
+  pre_activation = helper.add_bias(pre_bias)
+  return helper.add_activation(pre_activation)
+```
+
+We not only use the fewer lines of code to write `fc_layer` but also make the code clearer to understand. At the same time, layer developers can figure out what function they can invoke by typing `helper.` in a python editor.
+
+
+### Implementation of layer helper
 
-### FC Layer
+We just keep all parameters of a layer function as a dictionary in layer helper as a private data member. Every method of layer helper will look up the dictionary after it is invoked. In that way, we can implement a layer helper for all layer functions even some layer does not contain some operator. For example, The `activation` is used by the FullyConnected layer or convolution layers, but a cross-entropy layer does not use it. The example code of `add_activation` are:
 
 ```python
-def fc_layer(input, size, ...):
-    block = program.current_block()
-    w = block.create_parameter(...)
-    b = block.create_parameter(...)
-    out = block.create_var()
-    op = block.append_operator("FC", X=input, W=w, b=b, out=out)
-    out.writer = op
-    return out
+class LayerHelper(object):
+  def __init__(self, **kwargs):  # kwargs is short for `keyword arguments`
+    self.kwargs = kwargs
+
+  def add_activation(self, input_var):
+    act = self.kwargs.get("act", None)  # default value is None
+    if act is None:  # do nothing if no act
+      return input_var
+
+    tmp = self.create_tmp_var(self)
+    self.append_op(type=act, input=input_var, output=tmp)
+    return tmp

 ## The Problem Posed
 
-In our current operator registration mechanism, for each operator, the programmer should register a *gradient operator creator* function, which takes a C++ operator instance, and returns the corresponding gradient instance.
+Currently, for each C++ operator class definition, there registers a *gradient operator creator* function, which takes a C++ operator instance and returns the corresponding gradient operator instance.
 
-However, as we decided to separate the *compilation* and *execution* of DL models, we need to reshape the creator to take a protobuf `OpDesc` message, and returns a corresponding message.
+However, we noticed two problems with the current deisgn:
 
-More than that, the new registration mechanism need to support the fact that an operators' gradient computation might be a composition of operators.
+1. As we decided to separate the *compilation* and *execution* phases, we need to change the creator to take an `OpDesc` protobuf message in a `ProgramDesc` and inserts corresponding `OpDesc` messages into the `ProgramDesc` message.

+1. Some operator's gradient computation requires more than one gradient operators.  For example, the gradient of *minus* consists of two operators -- an identity operaotr and a scale operator.  So we need to make the registration mechanism to support the mapping from an operator to a set of operators for gradient computation.

-## Definition of Variable in Python
-
-In Python API, layer will take Variable as Input, and return Variable as Output. There should be a class `Variable` in python to help create and manage Variable.
-
-```python
-image = Variable(dims=[-1, 640, 480])
-# fc1 and fc2 are both Variable
-fc1 = layer.fc(input=image, output_size=10)
-fc2 = layer.fc(input=fc1, output_size=20)
-```
-### what should class `Variable` Have
-1. `name`.a name of string type is used to mark the value of the Variable.
-1. `initializer`. Since our Tensor does not have value. we will always use some Operator to fullfill it when run. So we should have a initialize method to help add the init operator.
-1. `operator`. Variable should record which operator produce itself. The reaon is:
-  - we use pd.eval(targets=[var1, var2]) to run the related ops to get the value of var1 and var2. var.op is used to trace the dependency of the current variable.
-
-In PaddlePaddle, we use Block to describe Computation Graph, so in the code we will use Block but not Graph.
-
-```python
-import VarDesc
-import LoDTensorDesc
-import framework
-
-def AddInitialOperator(variable, initializer):
-	# add an initialize Operator to block to init this Variable
-
-class Variable(object):
-   def __init__(self, name, dims, type, initializer):
-      self._block = get_default_block()
-      self._name = name
-      self.op = None

-      self._block.add_var(self)
+A TensorDesc describes `SelectedRows` and `LoDTensor`. For details of `SelectedRows`, please reference [`SelectedRows`](./selected_rows.md).

-图像分类教程
-==========
-
-在本教程中，我们将使用CIFAR-10数据集训练一个卷积神经网络，并使用这个神经网络来对图片进行分类。如下图所示，卷积神经网络可以辨识图片中的主体，并给出分类结果。
-<center>![Image Classification](./image_classification.png)</center>
-
-## 数据准备
-首先下载CIFAR-10数据集。下面是CIFAR-10数据集的官方网址：
-
-<https://www.cs.toronto.edu/~kriz/cifar.html>
-
-我们准备了一个脚本，可以用于从官方网站上下载CIFAR-10数据集，转为jpeg文件并存入特定的目录。使用这个脚本前请确认已经安装了pillow及相关依赖模块。可以参照下面的命令进行安装：
-
-1. 安装pillow
-
-```bash
-sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev
-pip install pillow
-```
-
-2. 下载数据集
-
-```bash
-cd demo/image_classification/data/
-sh download_cifar.sh
-```
-
-CIFAR-10数据集包含60000张32x32的彩色图片。图片分为10类，每个类包含6000张。其中50000张图片作为训练集，10000张作为测试集。
-
-下图展示了所有的图片类别，每个类别中随机抽取了10张图片。
-<center>![Image Classification](./cifar.png)</center>
-
-脚本运行完成后，我们应当会得到一个名为cifar-out的文件夹，其下子文件夹的结构如下
-
-
-```
-train
----airplane
----automobile
----bird
----cat
----deer
----dog
----frog
----horse
----ship
----truck
-test
----airplane
----automobile
----bird
----cat
----deer
----dog
----frog
----horse
----ship
----truck
-```
-
-cifar-out下包含`train`和`test`两个文件夹，其中分别包含了CIFAR-10中的训练集和测试集。这两个文件夹下各自有10个子文件夹，每个子文件夹下存储相应分类的图片。将图片按照上述结构存储好之后，我们就可以着手对分类模型进行训练了。
-
-## 预处理
-数据下载之后，还需要进行预处理，将数据转换为Paddle的格式。我们可以通过如下命令进行预处理工作：
-
-```
-cd demo/image_classification/
-sh preprocess.sh
-```
-
-其中`preprocess.sh` 调用 `./demo/image_classification/preprocess.py` 对图片进行预处理
-```sh
-export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:../../
-data_dir=./data/cifar-out
-python preprocess.py -i $data_dir -s 32 -c 1
-```
-
-`./demo/image_classification/preprocess.py` 使用如下参数：
-
-- `-i` 或 `--input` 给出输入数据所在路径；
-- `-s` 或 `--size` 给出图片尺寸；
-- `-c` 或 `--color` 标示图片是彩色图或灰度图
-
-## 模型训练
-在开始训练之前，我们需要先创建一个模型配置文件。下面我们给出了一个配置示例。**注意**，这里的列出的和`vgg_16_cifar.py`文件稍有差别，因为该文件可适用于预测。
-
-```python
-from paddle.trainer_config_helpers import *
-data_dir='data/cifar-out/batches/'
-meta_path=data_dir+'batches.meta'
-args = {'meta':meta_path, 'mean_img_size': 32,
-        'img_size': 32, 'num_classes': 10,
-        'use_jpeg': 1, 'color': "color"}
-define_py_data_sources2(train_list=data_dir+"train.list",
-                        test_list=data_dir+'test.list',
-                        module='image_provider',
-                        obj='processData',
-                        args=args)
-settings(
-    batch_size = 128,
-    learning_rate = 0.1 / 128.0,
-    learning_method = MomentumOptimizer(0.9),
-    regularization = L2Regularization(0.0005 * 128))
-
-img = data_layer(name='image', size=3*32*32)
-lbl = data_layer(name="label", size=10)
-# small_vgg is predined in trainer_config_helpers.network
-predict = small_vgg(input_image=img, num_channels=3)
-outputs(classification_cost(input=predict, label=lbl))
-```
-
-在第一行中我们载入用于定义网络的函数。
-```python
-from paddle.trainer_config_helpers import *
-```
-
-之后定义的`define_py_data_sources2`使用Python数据提供器，其中 `args`将在`image_provider.py`进行使用，该文件负责产生图片数据并传递给Paddle系统
- - `meta`: 训练集平均值。
- - `mean_img_size`: 平均特征图的高度及宽度。
- - `img_size`：输入图片的高度及宽度。
- - `num_classes`：类别个数。
- - `use_jpeg`：处理过程中数据存储格式。
- - `color`：标示是否为彩色图片。
- 
- `settings`用于设置训练算法。在下面的例子中，learning rate被设置为0.1除以batch size，而weight decay则为0.0005乘以batch size。
- 
- ```python
-settings(
-    batch_size = 128,
-    learning_rate = 0.1 / 128.0,
-    learning_method = MomentumOptimizer(0.9),
-    regularization = L2Regularization(0.0005 * 128)
-)
-```
-
-`small_vgg`定义了网络结构。这里我们使用的是一个小的VGG网络。关于VGG卷积神经网络的描述可以参考：[http://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~vgg/research/very_deep/](http://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~vgg/research/very_deep/)。
-```python
-# small_vgg is predined in trainer_config_helpers.network
-predict = small_vgg(input_image=img, num_channels=3)
-```
-配置创建完毕后，可以运行脚本train.sh来训练模型。
-
-```bash
-config=vgg_16_cifar.py
-output=./cifar_vgg_model
-log=train.log
-
-paddle train \
---config=$config \
---dot_period=10 \
---log_period=100 \
---test_all_data_in_one_period=1 \
---use_gpu=1 \
---save_dir=$output \
-2>&1 | tee $log
-
-python -m paddle.utils.plotcurve -i $log > plot.png
-```
-- 这里我们使用的是GPU模式进行训练。如果你没有GPU环境，可以设置`use_gpu=0`。
-- `./demo/image_classification/vgg_16_cifar.py`是网络和数据配置文件。各项参数的详细说明可以在命令行参数相关文档中找到。
-- 脚本`plotcurve.py`依赖于python的`matplotlib`模块。因此如果这个脚本运行失败，也许是因为需要安装`matplotlib`。
-在训练完成后，训练及测试误差曲线图会被`plotcurve.py`脚本保存在 `plot.png`中。下面是一个误差曲线图的示例：
-
-<center>![Training and testing curves.](./plot.png)</center>
-
-## 预测
-在训练完成后，模型及参数会被保存在路径`./cifar_vgg_model/pass-%05d`下。例如第300个pass的模型会被保存在`./cifar_vgg_model/pass-00299`。
-
-要对一个图片的进行分类预测，我们可以使用`predict.sh`，该脚本将输出预测分类的标签：
-
-```
-sh predict.sh
-```
-
-predict.sh:
-```
-model=cifar_vgg_model/pass-00299/
-image=data/cifar-out/test/airplane/seaplane_s_000978.png
-use_gpu=1
-python prediction.py $model $image $use_gpu
-```
-
-## 练习
-在CUB-200数据集上使用VGG模型训练一个鸟类图片分类模型。相关的鸟类数据集可以从如下地址下载，其中包含了200种鸟类的照片（主要来自北美洲）。
-
-<http://www.vision.caltech.edu/visipedia/CUB-200.html>
-
-
-
-
-## 细节探究
-### 卷积神经网络
-卷积神经网络是一种使用卷积层的前向神经网络，很适合构建用于理解图片内容的模型。一个典型的神经网络如下图所示：
-
-![Convolutional Neural Network](./lenet.png)
-
-一个卷积神经网络包含如下层：
-
-- 卷积层：通过卷积操作从图片或特征图中提取特征
-- 池化层：使用max-pooling对特征图下采样
-- 全连接层：使输入层到隐藏层的神经元是全部连接的。
-
-卷积神经网络在图片分类上有着惊人的性能，这是因为它发掘出了图片的两类重要信息：局部关联性质和空间不变性质。通过交替使用卷积和池化处理， 卷积神经网络能够很好的表示这两类信息。
-
-关于如何定义网络中的层，以及如何在层之间进行连接，请参考Layer文档。

-Image Classification Tutorial
-==============================
-
-This tutorial will guide you through training a convolutional neural network to classify objects using the CIFAR-10 image classification dataset.
-As shown in the following figure, the convolutional neural network can recognize the main object in images, and output the classification result.
-
-<center>![Image Classification](./image_classification.png)</center>
-
-## Data Preparation
-First, download CIFAR-10 dataset. CIFAR-10 dataset can be downloaded from its official website.
-
-<https://www.cs.toronto.edu/~kriz/cifar.html>
-
-We have prepared a script to download and process CIFAR-10 dataset. The script will download CIFAR-10 dataset from the official dataset.
-It will convert it to jpeg images and organize them into a directory with the required structure for the tutorial. Make sure that you have installed pillow and its dependents.
-Consider the following commands:
-
-1. install pillow dependents
-
-```bash
-sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev
-pip install pillow
-```
-
-2. download data and preparation
-
-```bash
-cd demo/image_classification/data/
-sh download_cifar.sh
-```
-
-The CIFAR-10 dataset consists of 60000 32x32 color images in 10 classes, with 6000 images per class. There are 50000 training images and 10000 test images.
-
-Here are the classes in the dataset, as well as 10 random images from each:
-<center>![Image Classification](./cifar.png)</center>
-
-
-After downloading and converting, we should find a directory (cifar-out) containing the dataset in the following format:
-
-```
-train
----airplane
----automobile
----bird
----cat
----deer
----dog
----frog
----horse
----ship
----truck
-test
----airplane
----automobile
----bird
----cat
----deer
----dog
----frog
----horse
----ship
----truck
-```
-
-It has two directories:`train` and `test`. These two directories contain training data and testing data of CIFAR-10, respectively. Each of these two folders contains 10 sub-folders, ranging from `airplane` to `truck`. Each sub-folder contains images with the corresponding label. After the images are organized into this structure, we are ready to train an image classification model.
-
-## Preprocess
-After the data has been downloaded, it needs to be pre-processed into the Paddle format. We can run the following command for preprocessing.
-
-```
-cd demo/image_classification/
-sh preprocess.sh
-```
-
-`preprocess.sh` calls `./demo/image_classification/preprocess.py` to preprocess image data.
-```sh
-export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:../../
-data_dir=./data/cifar-out
-python preprocess.py -i $data_dir -s 32 -c 1
-```
-
-`./demo/image_classification/preprocess.py` has the following arguments
-
-- `-i` or `--input` specifes  the input data directory.
-- `-s` or `--size` specifies the processed size of images.
-- `-c` or `--color` specifes whether images are color images or gray images.
-
-
-## Model Training
-We need to create a model config file before training the model. An example of the config file (vgg_16_cifar.py) is listed below. **Note**, it is slightly different from the `vgg_16_cifar.py` which also applies to the prediction.
-
-```python
-from paddle.trainer_config_helpers import *
-data_dir='data/cifar-out/batches/'
-meta_path=data_dir+'batches.meta'
-args = {'meta':meta_path, 'mean_img_size': 32,
-        'img_size': 32, 'num_classes': 10,
-        'use_jpeg': 1, 'color': "color"}
-define_py_data_sources2(train_list=data_dir+"train.list",
-                        test_list=data_dir+'test.list',
-                        module='image_provider',
-                        obj='processData',
-                        args=args)
-settings(
-    batch_size = 128,
-    learning_rate = 0.1 / 128.0,
-    learning_method = MomentumOptimizer(0.9),
-    regularization = L2Regularization(0.0005 * 128))
-
-img = data_layer(name='image', size=3*32*32)
-lbl = data_layer(name="label", size=10)
-# small_vgg is predined in trainer_config_helpers.network
-predict = small_vgg(input_image=img, num_channels=3)
-outputs(classification_cost(input=predict, label=lbl))
-```
-
-The first line imports python functions for defining networks.
-```python
-from paddle.trainer_config_helpers import *
-```
-
-Then define an `define_py_data_sources2` which use python data provider
-interface. The arguments in `args` are used in `image_provider.py` which
-yeilds image data and transform them to Paddle.
- - `meta`: the mean value of training set.
- - `mean_img_size`: the size of mean feature map.
- - `img_size`: the height and width of input image.
- - `num_classes`: the number of classes.
- - `use_jpeg`: the data storage type when preprocessing.
- - `color`: specify color image.
-
-`settings` specifies the training algorithm. In the following example,
-it specifies learning rate as 0.1, but divided by batch size, and the weight decay
-is 0.0005 and multiplied by batch size.
-```python
-settings(
-    batch_size = 128,
-    learning_rate = 0.1 / 128.0,
-    learning_method = MomentumOptimizer(0.9),
-    regularization = L2Regularization(0.0005 * 128)
-)
-```
-
-The `small_vgg` specifies the network. We use a small version of VGG convolutional network as our network
-for classification. A description of VGG network can be found here [http://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~vgg/research/very_deep/](http://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~vgg/research/very_deep/).
-```python
-# small_vgg is predined in trainer_config_helpers.network
-predict = small_vgg(input_image=img, num_channels=3)
-```
-After writing the config, we can train the model by running the script train.sh.
-
-```bash
-config=vgg_16_cifar.py
-output=./cifar_vgg_model
-log=train.log
-
-paddle train \
---config=$config \
---dot_period=10 \
---log_period=100 \
---test_all_data_in_one_period=1 \
---use_gpu=1 \
---save_dir=$output \
-2>&1 | tee $log
-
-python -m paddle.utils.plotcurve -i $log > plot.png
-```
-
-- Here we use GPU mode to train. If you have no gpu environment, just set `use_gpu=0`.
-
-- `./demo/image_classification/vgg_16_cifar.py` is the network and data configuration file. The meaning of the other flags can be found in the documentation of the command line flags.
-
-- The script `plotcurve.py` requires the python module of `matplotlib`, so if it fails, maybe you need to install `matplotlib`.
-
-
-After training finishes, the training and testing error curves will be saved to `plot.png` using `plotcurve.py` script. An example of the plot is shown below:
-
-<center>![Training and testing curves.](./plot.png)</center>
-
-
-## Prediction
-After we train the model, the model file as well as the model parameters are stored in path `./cifar_vgg_model/pass-%05d`. For example, the model of the 300-th pass is stored at `./cifar_vgg_model/pass-00299`.
-
-To make a prediction for an image, one can run `predict.sh` as follows. The script will output the label of the classfiication.
-
-```
-sh predict.sh
-```
-
-predict.sh:
-```
-model=cifar_vgg_model/pass-00299/
-image=data/cifar-out/test/airplane/seaplane_s_000978.png
-use_gpu=1
-python prediction.py $model $image $use_gpu

-## Delve into Details
-### Convolutional Neural Network
-A Convolutional Neural Network is a feedforward neural network that uses convolution layers. It is very suitable for building neural networks that process and understand images. A standard convolutional neural network is shown below:
-
-![Convolutional Neural Network](./lenet.png)
-
-Convolutional Neural Network contains the following layers:
-
-- Convolutional layer: It uses convolution operation to extract features from an image or a feature map.
-- Pooling layer: It uses max-pooling to downsample feature maps.
-- Fully Connected layer: It uses fully connected connections to transform features.
-
-Convolutional Neural Network achieves amazing performance for image classification because it exploits two important characteristics of images: *local correlation* and *spatial invariance*. By iteratively applying convolution and max-pooing operations, convolutional neural network can well represent these two characteristics of images.
-

-For more details of how to define layers and their connections, please refer to the documentation of layers.

-
-这里我们在MovieLens数据集描述一种 **余弦相似度回归** 任务。
-该示例将展示paddle如何进行词向量嵌入，处理相似度回归，针对文本
-的单词级别的卷积神经网络，以及paddle如何处理多种类型的输入。
-需要注意的是，该模型网络只是用于进行demo展示paddle如何工作，而
-没有进行结构的微调。
-
-
-**我们非常欢迎您用PADDLEPADDLE构建更好的示例，如果您有好的建议来
-让这个示例变得更好，希望能让我们知晓。**
-
-数据准备
-`````````
-下载并解压数据集
-'''''''''''''''''
-这里我们使用 :ref:`demo_ml_dataset` 。
-要下载和解压数据集，只需要简单的运行下面的命令即可。
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-	cd demo/recommendation/data
-	./ml_data.sh
-
-:code:`demo/recommendation/data/ml-1m` 的目录结构为:
-
-.. code-block:: text

-	+--ml-1m
-		+--- movies.dat 	# 电影特征
-		+--- ratings.dat 	# 评分
-		+--- users.dat 		# 用户特征
-		+--- README 		# 数据集描述
-
-字段配置文件
-'''''''''''''
-**字段配置文件** 用来具体说明数据集的字段和文件格式，
-例如，说明每个特征文件具体字段是 **什么** 类型。
-
-ml-1m的字段配置文件在目录 :code:`demo/recommendation/data/config.json` 中。
-其具体说明了字段类型和文件名称:
-
-1) 用户文件中有四种类型的字段\: 编号，性别，年龄和职业；
-
-2) 文件名称为"users.dat"，文件的分隔符为"::"。
-
-.. include:: ../../../demo/recommendation/data/config.json
-   :code: json

-
-准备数据
-`````````
-你需要安装python的第三方库。
-**强烈推荐使用VIRTUALENV来创造一个干净的python环境。**
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-	pip install -r requirements.txt
-
-预处理数据一般的命令为:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-	cd demo/recommendation
-	./preprocess.sh
-
-下面介绍预处理过程具体的步骤。
-
-提取电影或用户的特征并生成python对象
-'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
-
-在movielens 1m数据集中，电影和用户有许多的特征。
-评分文件的每一行仅仅提供电影或用户的编号来代表相应的电影或用户。
-我们首先处理电影或用户的特征文件，然后用pickle命令将特征( **Meta** )对象存储为文件。
-
-Meta配置文件
-.............
-
-**Meta配置文件** 用来具体描述 **如何** 解析数据集中的每一个字段。
-该文件可以从字段配置文件生成，或是手动编辑生成。文件的格式可以
-为json或yaml格式。解析器能通过文件的扩展名自动识别文件的格式。
-
-要将字段配置文件转化为meta配置文件，只需要运行：
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-	cd demo/recommendation/data
-	python config_generator.py config.json > meta_config.json
-
-生成的meta配置文件如下所示：
-
-.. include:: ../../../demo/recommendation/data/meta_config.json
-	:code: json
-	:literal:
-
-在meta文件中有两种特征\: 电影和用户。
-
-* 在电影文件movies.dat中
-	* 我们仅用"::"来分隔每一行
-	* pos 0 代表编号
-	* pos 1 特征：
-		* name是电影名
-		* 利用正则表达式来解析该特征
-		* 基于字母的词嵌入特征
-		* 是序列
-	* pos 2 特征：
-		* name是体裁
-		* type是one hot稠密向量
-		* dictionary由解析自动生成，每一个key由'|'分隔
-* 在用户文件users.dat中
-	* 我们仅用"::"来分隔每一行
-	* pos 0 代表编号
-	* pos 1 特征：
-		* name是性别
-		* 简单的基于字母的词嵌入
-	* pos 2 特征：
-		* name是年龄
-		* 是整个的词嵌入
-		* 嵌入编号会根据单词排序
-	* pos 3 特征：
-		* name是职业
-		* 简单的整个词嵌入
-
-
-Meta文件
-''''''''
-
-有了meta配置文件之后，我们可以生成 **Meta文件** ，该文件是python的pickle对象，
-存储着电影或用户信息。可以运行下面的命令来生成。
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-	python meta_generator.py ml-1m meta.bin --config=meta_config.json
-
-meta文件 :code:`meta.bin` 的结构如下：

-           |
-           +--+ 2
-           +--+ ...
-
-
-分割训练/测试文件
-''''''''''''''''''
-
-我们将 :code:`ml-1m/ratings.dat` 文件分割为训练和测试文件。分割文件的方法是：对于每位用户，我们将评分分成两部分。
-这样的话每位用户在测试文件中将与训练文件含有同样的信息。
-
-用 :code:`separate.py` 来分离训练和测试文件。
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-	python split.py ml-1m/ratings.dat --delimiter="::" --test_ratio=0.1
-
-这样就会生成两个文件：:code:`ml-1m/ratings.dat.train` 和 :code:`ml-1m/ratings.data.test` 。
-将他们移动到目录 :code:`data` ，然后进行随机打乱，再为paddle的训练过程提供文件列表。
-
-..  code-block:: bash
-
-    shuf ml-1m/ratings.dat.train > ratings.dat.train
-    cp ml-1m/ratings.dat.test .

-Regression MovieLens Ratting
-============================
-
-Here we demonstrate a **Cosine Similarity Regression** job in movie lens dataset.
-This demo will show how paddle does (word) embedding job,
-handles the similarity regression,
-the character-level convolutional networks for text, and how does paddle handle
-multiple types of inputs.
-Note that the model structure is not fine-tuned and just a demo to show how paddle works.
-
-
-YOU ARE WELCOME TO BUILD A BETTER DEMO
-BY USING PADDLEPADDLE, AND LET US KNOW TO MAKE THIS DEMO BETTER.
-
-Data Preparation
-````````````````
-Download and extract dataset
-''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
-We use :ref:`demo_ml_dataset` here. 
-To download and unzip the dataset, simply run the following commands.
-
-..  code-block:: bash
-
-    cd demo/recommendation/data 
-    ./ml_data.sh
-
-And the directory structure of :code:`demo/recommendation/data/ml-1m` is:
-
-..  code-block:: text
-
-    +--ml-1m
-         +--- movies.dat    # movie features
-         +--- ratings.dat   # ratings
-         +--- users.dat     # user features
-         +--- README        # dataset description
-
-Field config file
-'''''''''''''''''
-**Field config file** is used to specify the fields of the dataset and the file format,
-i.e, specific **WHAT** type it is in each feature file.
-
-The field config file of ml-1m shows in :code:`demo/recommendation/data/config.json`.
-It specifics the field types and file names: 1) there are four types of field for user file\: id, gender, age and occupation;
-2) the filename is "users.dat", and the delimiter of file is "::".
-
-..  include:: ../../../demo/recommendation/data/config.json
-    :code: json
-    :literal:
-
-Preprocess Data
-```````````````
-You need to install python 3rd party libraries.
-IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO USE VIRTUALENV MAKE A CLEAN PYTHON ENVIRONMENT.
-
-..  code-block:: bash
-
-    pip install -r requirements.txt
-
-The general command for preprocessing the dataset is:
-
-..  code-block:: bash
-
-    cd demo/recommendation
-    ./preprocess.sh
-    
-And the detail steps are introduced as follows.
-
-Extract Movie/User features to python object
-'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
-
-There are many features in movie or user in movielens 1m dataset.
-Each line of rating file just provides a Movie/User id to refer each movie or user.
-We process the movie/user feature file first, and pickle the feature (**Meta**) object as a file.
-
-Meta config file
-................
-
-**Meta config file** is used to specific **HOW** to parse each field in dataset.
-It could be translated from field config file, or written by hand.
-Its file format could be either json or yaml syntax file. Parser will automatically choose the file format by extension name.
-
-To convert Field config file to meta config file, just run:
-
-..  code-block:: bash
-
-    cd demo/recommendation/data
-    python config_generator.py config.json > meta_config.json
-
-The meta config file shows below:
-
-..  include:: ../../../demo/recommendation/data/meta_config.json
-    :code: json
-    :literal:
-
-There are two kinds of features in meta\: movie and user.
-
-* in movie file, whose name is movies.dat
-   * we just split each line by "::"
-   * pos 0 is id.
-   * pos 1 feature:
-      * name is title.
-      * it uses regex to parse this feature.
-      * it is a char based word embedding feature.
-      * it is a sequence.
-   * pos 2 feature:
-      * name is genres.
-      * type is one hot dense vector.
-      * dictionary is auto generated by parsing, each key is split by '|'
-* in user file, whose name is users.dat
-   * we just split each line by "::"
-   * pos 0 is id.
-   * pos 1 feature:
-       * name is gender
-       * just simple char based embedding.
-   * pos 2 feature:
-       * name is age
-       * just whole word embedding.
-       * embedding id will be sort by word.
-   * pos 3 feature:
-       * name is occupation.
-       * just simple whole word embedding.
-
-
-Meta file
-'''''''''
-
-After having meta config file, we can generate **Meta file**, a python pickle object which stores movie/user information.
-The following commands could be run to generate it.
-
-..  code-block:: bash
-
-    python meta_generator.py ml-1m meta.bin --config=meta_config.json
-
-And the structure of the meta file :code:`meta.bin` is:
-
-..  code-block:: text
-
-    +--+ movie
-    |      +--+ __meta__
-    |      |       +--+ raw_meta  # each feature meta config. list
-    |      |       |       +
-    |      |       |       |     # ID Field, we use id as key

-    |      |       |       +--+ {'dict': [ ... ], 'type': 'one_hot_dense', 'name': 'genres'}
-    |      |       |
-    |      |       +--+ feature_map [1, 2] # a list for raw_meta index for feature field.
-    |      |                               # it means there are 2 features for each key.
-    |      |                               #    * 0 offset of feature is raw_meta[1], Title.
-    |      |                               #    * 1 offset of feature is raw_meta[2], Genres.
-    |      |
-    |      +--+ 1 # movie 1 features
-    |      |    +
-    |      |    +---+ [[...], [...]] # title ids, genres dense vector

-           |       |       +--+ {'dict': [...], 'type': 'embedding', 'name': 'occupation', 'seq': 'no_sequence'}
-           |       |
-           |       +--+ feature_map [1, 2, 3]
-           |
-           +--+ 1 # user 1 features
-           |
-           +--+ 2

-Split Training/Testing files
-''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
-
-We split :code:`ml-1m/ratings.dat` into a training and testing file. The way to split file is for each user, we split the
-rating by two parts. So each user in testing file will have some rating information in training file.
-
-Use :code:`separate.py` to separate the training and testing file.
-
-..  code-block:: bash
-
-    python split.py ml-1m/ratings.dat --delimiter="::" --test_ratio=0.1
-
-Then two files will be generated\: :code:`ml-1m/ratings.dat.train` and :code:`ml-1m/rating.data.test`.
-Move them to workspace :code:`data`, shuffle the train file, and prepare the file list for paddle train.
-
-..  code-block:: bash
-
-    shuf ml-1m/ratings.dat.train > ratings.dat.train
-    cp ml-1m/ratings.dat.test .
-    echo "./data/ratings.dat.train" > train.list
-    echo "./data/ratings.dat.test" > test.list

-# 语义角色标注教程 #
-
-语义角色标注（Semantic role labeling, SRL）是浅层语义解析的一种形式，其目的是在给定的输入句子中发现每个谓词的谓词论元结构。 SRL作为很多自然语言处理任务中的中间步骤是很有用的，如信息提取、文档自动分类和问答。 实例如下 [1]:
-
- [ <sub>A0</sub> He ] [ <sub>AM-MOD</sub> would ][ <sub>AM-NEG</sub> n’t ] [ <sub>V</sub> accept] [ <sub>A1</sub> anything of value ] from [<sub>A2</sub> those he was writing about ]. 
-
-- V: 动词
-- A0: 接受者
-- A1: 接受的东西
-- A2: 从……接受
-- A3: 属性
-- AM-MOD: 情态动词 
-- AM-NEG: 否定
-
-给定动词“accept”，句子中的组块将会扮演某些语义角色。这里，标签方案来自 Penn Proposition Bank。
-
-到目前为止，大多数成功的SRL系统是建立在某种形式的句法分析结果之上的，使用了基于句法结构的预定义特征模板。 本教程将介绍使用深度双向长短期记忆（DB-LSTM）模型[2]的端到端系统来解决SRL任务，这在很大程度上优于先前的最先进的系统。 这个系统将SRL任务视为序列标注问题。
-
-## 数据描述
-相关论文[2]采用 CoNLL-2005＆2012 共享任务中设置的数据进行训练和测试。由于数据许可的原因，演示采用 CoNLL-2005 的测试数据集，可以在网站上找到。
-
-用户只需执行以下命令就可以下载并处理原始数据：
-
-```bash
-cd data
-./get_data.sh
-```
-`data `目录会出现如下几个新的文件：
-```bash
-conll05st-release：the test data set of CoNll-2005 shared task 
-test.wsj.words：the Wall Street Journal data sentences
-test.wsj.props:  the propositional arguments
-feature: the extracted features from data set
-```
-
-## 训练
-### DB-LSTM
-请参阅情感分析的演示以了解有关长期短期记忆单元的更多信息。
-
-与在 Sentiment Analysis 演示中使用的 Bidirectional-LSTM 不同，DB-LSTM 采用另一种方法来堆叠LSTM层。首先，标准LSTM以正向处理该序列。该 LSTM 层的输入和输出作为下一个 LSTM 层的输入，并被反向处理。这两个标准 LSTM 层组成一对 LSTM。然后我们堆叠一对对的 LSTM 层后得到深度 LSTM 模型。
-
-下图展示了时间扩展的2层 DB-LSTM 网络。
-<center>
-![pic](./network_arch.png)
-</center>
-
-### 特征
-两个输入特征在这个流程中起着至关重要的作用：predicate（pred）和argument（arguments）。 还采用了两个其他特征：谓词上下文（ctx-p）和区域标记（mr）。 因为单个谓词不能精确地描述谓词信息，特别是当相同的词在句子中出现多于一次时。 使用谓词上下文，可以在很大程度上消除歧义。类似地，如果它位于谓词上下文区域中，则使用区域标记 m<sub>r</sub> = 1 来表示参数位置，反之则 m<sub>r</sub> = 0。这四个简单的特征是我们的SRL系统所需要的。上下文大小设置为1的一个样本的特征如下[2]所示：
-<center>
-![pic](./feature.jpg)
-</center>
-
-在这个示例中，相应的标记句子是：
-
-[ <sub>A1</sub> A record date ] has [ <sub>AM-NEG</sub> n't ] been [ <sub>V</sub> set ] . 
-
-在演示中, 我们采用上面的特征模板, 包括：  `argument`, `predicate`, `ctx-p (p=-1,0,1)`, `mark` 并使用 `B/I/O` 方案来标记每个参数。这些特征和标签存储在 `feature` 文件中, 用`\t`分割。
-
-### 数据提供
-
-`dataprovider.py` 是一个包装数据的 Python 文件。 函数 `hook()` 定义了网络的数据槽。六个特征和标签都是索引槽。
-```
-def hook(settings, word_dict, label_dict, **kwargs):
-    settings.word_dict = word_dict
-    settings.label_dict = label_dict
-    #all inputs are integral and sequential type
-    settings.slots = [
-        integer_value_sequence(len(word_dict)),
-        integer_value_sequence(len(predicate_dict)),
-        integer_value_sequence(len(word_dict)),
-        integer_value_sequence(len(word_dict)),
-        integer_value_sequence(len(word_dict)),
-        integer_value_sequence(len(word_dict)),
-        integer_value_sequence(len(word_dict)),
-        integer_value_sequence(2),
-        integer_value_sequence(len(label_dict))]
-```

-# Semantic Role labeling Tutorial #
-
-Semantic role labeling (SRL) is a form of shallow semantic parsing whose goal is to discover the predicate-argument structure of each predicate in a given input sentence. SRL is useful as an intermediate step in a wide range of natural language processing tasks, such as information extraction. automatic document categorization and question answering.  An instance is as following [1]:
-
- [ <sub>A0</sub> He ] [ <sub>AM-MOD</sub> would ][ <sub>AM-NEG</sub> n’t ] [ <sub>V</sub> accept] [ <sub>A1</sub> anything of value ] from [<sub>A2</sub> those he was writing about ]. 
-
-- V: verb
-- A0: acceptor
-- A1: thing accepted
-- A2: accepted-from
-- A3: Attribute
-- AM-MOD: modal 
-- AM-NEG: negation
-
-Given the verb "accept", the chunks in sentence would play certain semantic roles. Here, the label scheme is from Penn Proposition Bank. 
-
-To this date, most of the successful SRL systems are built on top of some form of parsing results where pre-defined feature templates over the syntactic structure are used. This tutorial will present an end-to-end system using deep bidirectional long short-term memory (DB-LSTM)[2] for solving the SRL task, which largely outperforms the previous state-of-the-art systems. The system regards SRL task as the sequence labelling problem. 
-
-## Data Description
-The relevant paper[2] takes the data set in CoNLL-2005&2012 Shared Task for training and testing. Accordingto data license,  the demo adopts the test data set of CoNLL-2005, which can be reached on website.
-
-To download and process the original data, user just need to execute the following command:
-
-```bash
-cd data
-./get_data.sh
-```
-Several new files appear in the `data `directory as follows.
-```bash
-conll05st-release：the test data set of CoNll-2005 shared task 
-test.wsj.words：the Wall Street Journal data sentences
-test.wsj.props:  the propositional arguments
-feature: the extracted features from data set
-```
-
-## Training
-### DB-LSTM
-Please refer to the Sentiment Analysis demo to learn more about the long short-term memory unit. 
-
-Unlike Bidirectional-LSTM that used in Sentiment Analysis demo,  the DB-LSTM adopts another way to stack LSTM layer. First a standard LSTM processes the sequence in forward direction. The input and output of this LSTM layer are taken by the next LSTM layer as input, processed in reversed direction. These two standard LSTM layers compose a pair of LSTM. Then we stack LSTM layers pair after pair to obtain the deep LSTM model. 
-
-The following figure shows a temporal expanded 2-layer DB-LSTM network.
-<center>
-![pic](./src/network_arch.png)
-</center>
-
-### Features
-Two input features play an essential role in this pipeline: predicate (pred) and argument (argu). Two other features: predicate context (ctx-p) and region mark (mr) are also adopted. Because a single predicate word can not exactly describe the predicate information, especially when the same words appear more than one times in a sentence. With the predicate context, the ambiguity can be largely eliminated. Similarly, we use region mark m<sub>r</sub> = 1 to denote the argument position if it locates in the predicate context region, or m<sub>r</sub> = 0 if does not. These four simple features are all we need for our SRL system. Features of one sample with context size set to 1 is showed as following[2]:
-<center>
-![pic](./src/feature.jpg)
-</center>
-
-In this sample, the coresponding labelled sentence is:
-
-[ <sub>A1</sub> A record date ] has [ <sub>AM-NEG</sub> n't ] been [ <sub>V</sub> set ] . 
-
-In the demo, we adopt the feature template as above, consists of :  `argument`, `predicate`, `ctx-p (p=-1,0,1)`, `mark` and use `B/I/O` scheme to label each argument. These features and labels are stored in `feature` file, and separated by `\t`.
-
-### Data Provider
-
-`dataprovider.py` is the python file to wrap data. `hook()` function is to define the data slots for network. The  Six features and label are all IndexSlots.
-```
-def hook(settings, word_dict, label_dict, **kwargs):
-    settings.word_dict = word_dict
-    settings.label_dict = label_dict
-    #all inputs are integral and sequential type
-    settings.slots = [
-        integer_value_sequence(len(word_dict)),
-        integer_value_sequence(len(predicate_dict)),
-        integer_value_sequence(len(word_dict)),
-        integer_value_sequence(len(word_dict)),
-        integer_value_sequence(len(word_dict)),
-        integer_value_sequence(len(word_dict)),
-        integer_value_sequence(len(word_dict)),
-        integer_value_sequence(2),
-        integer_value_sequence(len(label_dict))]
-```
-The corresponding data iterator is as following:
-```
-@provider(init_hook=hook, should_shuffle=True, calc_batch_size=get_batch_size,
-          can_over_batch_size=False, cache=CacheType.CACHE_PASS_IN_MEM)
-def process(settings, file_name):
-    with open(file_name, 'r') as fdata:
-        for line in fdata:
-            sentence, predicate, ctx_n2, ctx_n1, ctx_0, ctx_p1, ctx_p2,  mark, label = \
-                line.strip().split('\t')
-
-            words = sentence.split()
-            sen_len = len(words)
-            word_slot = [settings.word_dict.get(w, UNK_IDX) for w in words]
-
-            predicate_slot = [settings.predicate_dict.get(predicate)] * sen_len
-            ctx_n2_slot = [settings.word_dict.get(ctx_n2, UNK_IDX)] * sen_len
-            ctx_n1_slot = [settings.word_dict.get(ctx_n1, UNK_IDX)] * sen_len
-            ctx_0_slot = [settings.word_dict.get(ctx_0, UNK_IDX)] * sen_len
-            ctx_p1_slot = [settings.word_dict.get(ctx_p1, UNK_IDX)] * sen_len
-            ctx_p2_slot = [settings.word_dict.get(ctx_p2, UNK_IDX)] * sen_len
-
-            marks = mark.split()
-            mark_slot = [int(w) for w in marks]
-
-            label_list = label.split()
-            label_slot = [settings.label_dict.get(w) for w in label_list]
-            yield word_slot, predicate_slot, ctx_n2_slot, ctx_n1_slot, \
-                  ctx_0_slot, ctx_p1_slot, ctx_p2_slot, mark_slot, label_slot
-```
-The `process`function yield 9 lists which are 8 features and label.
- 
-### Neural Network Config
-`db_lstm.py` is the neural network config file to load the dictionaries and define the  data provider module and network architecture during the training procedure. 
-
-Nine `data_layer` load instances from data provider. Eight features are transformed into embedddings respectively, and mixed by `mixed_layer` .  Deep bidirectional LSTM layers extract features for the softmax layer. The objective function is cross entropy of labels.
-
-### Run Training 
-The script for training is `train.sh`, user just need to execute:
-```bash
-  ./train.sh

-  
-```
-In `predict.sh`, user should offer the network config file, model path, label file, word dictionary file, feature file
-```
-python predict.py

-# 情感分析教程
-
-情感分析有许多应用场景。 一个基本的应用场景是区分给定文本的褒贬两极性，给定的文本可以是一个文档、句子、或者是一个小的文本片段。 一个简单的例子如：把用户在购物网站、旅游网站、团购网站（亚马逊、天猫、淘宝等）上发表的评论分成正面评论和负面评论两类。
-
-情感分析也常用于基于大量评论和个人博客来监控社会媒体。 例如，研究人员分析了几个关于消费者信心和政治观点的调查，结果发现它们与同时期的Twitter消息中的情绪词频率相关 [1]。 另一个例子是通过分析每日Twitter博客的文本内容来预测股票变动 [2]。
-
-另一方面，抓取产品的用户评论并分析他们的情感，有助于理解用户对不同公司，不同产品，甚至不同竞争对手产品的偏好。
-
-本教程将指导您完成长期短期记忆（LSTM）网络的训练过程，以分类来自[大型电影评论数据集](http://ai.stanford.edu/~amaas/data/sentiment/)（有时称为[互联网电影数据库 (IMDB)](http://ai.stanford.edu/~amaas/papers/wvSent_acl2011.pdf)）的句子的情感 。 此数据集包含电影评论及其相关联的类别标签，即正面和负面。
-
-## 数椐准备
-
-### IMDB 数椐介绍
-
-训练模型之前, 我们需要预处理数椐并构建一个字典。 首先, 你可以使用下面的脚本下载 IMDB 数椐集和[Moses](http://www.statmt.org/moses/)工具, 这是一个基于统计的机器翻译系统. 我们提供了一个数据预处理脚本，它不仅能够处理IMDB数据，还能处理其他用户自定义的数据。 为了使用提前编写的脚本，需要将标记的训练和测试样本移动到另一个路径，这已经在`get_imdb.sh`中完成。
-
-```
-cd demo/sentiment/data
-./get_imdb.sh
-```
-如果数椐获取成功，你将在目录```./demo/sentiment/data```中看到下面的文件：
-
-```
-aclImdb  get_imdb.sh  imdb  mosesdecoder-master
-```
-
-* aclImdb: 从外部网站上下载的原始数椐集。
-* imdb: 仅包含训练和测试数椐集。
-* mosesdecoder-master: Moses 工具。
-
-IMDB数据集包含25,000个已标注过的高极性电影评论用于训练，25,000个用于测试。负面的评论的得分小于等于4,正面的评论的得大于等于7，总评分10分。 运行完脚本 `./get_imdb.sh`后, 我们可以看到在目录 `aclImdb`中的数椐集的结构如下：
-
-```
-imdbEr.txt  imdb.vocab  README  test  train
-```
-* train: 训练数椐集。
-* test : 测试数椐集。
-* imdb.vocab: 字典文件。
-* imdbEr.txt: 字典imdb.vocab中每个切分单词的预期评级。
-* README: 数椐说明文档。
-
-测试集和训练集目录包含下面的文件:
-
-```
-labeledBow.feat  neg  pos  unsup  unsupBow.feat  urls_neg.txt  urls_pos.txt  urls_unsup.txt
-```
-
-* pos: 正面评价样本，包含12,500个txt文件，每个文件是一个电影评论。
-* neg: 负面评价样本，包含12,500个txt文件，每个文件是一个电影评论。
-* unsup: 未标记的评价样本，包含50,000个txt文件。
-* urls_xx.txt: 每个评论的网址。
-* xxBow.feat: 用于统计词频的Bow模型特征。
-
-### IMDB 数椐准备
-
-在这个例子中，我们只使用已经标注过的训练集和测试集，且默认在训练集上构建字典，而不使用IMDB数椐集中的imdb.vocab做为字典。训练集已经做了随机打乱排序而测试集没有。 Moses 工具中的脚本`tokenizer.perl` 用于切分单单词和标点符号。执行下面的命令就可以预处理数椐。
-
-```
-cd demo/sentiment/
-./preprocess.sh
-```
-preprocess.sh:
-
-```
-data_dir="./data/imdb"
-python preprocess.py -i data_dir
-```
-
-* data_dir: 输入数椐所在目录。
-* preprocess.py: 预处理脚本。
-
-运行成功后目录`demo/sentiment/data/pre-imdb` 结构如下:
-
-```
-dict.txt  labels.list  test.list  test_part_000  train.list  train_part_000
-```
-* test\_part\_000 and train\_part\_000: 所有标记的测试集和训练集， 训练集已经随机打乱。
-* train.list and test.list: 训练集和测试集文件列表。
-* dict.txt: 利用训练集生成的字典。
-* labels.txt: neg  0, pos 1, 含义：标签0表示负面的评论，标签1表示正面的评论。
-
-### 用户自定义数椐预处理
-
-如果你执行其它的用情感分析来分类文本的任务，可以按如下的结构来准备数椐. 我们提供了脚本来构建字典和预处理数椐。所以你只用按下面的结构来组织数椐就行了。
-
-```
-dataset
-|----train
-|    |----class1
-|    |    |----text_files
-|    |----class2
-|    |    |----text_files
-|    |    ...
-|----test
-|    |----class1
-|    |    |----text_files
-|    |----class2
-|    |    |----text_files
-|    |    ...
-```
-* dataset: 一级目录。
-* train, test: 二级目录。
-* class1,class2,...: 三级目录。
-* text_files: 文本格式的实例文件。
-
-所有同目录下的文本实例文件都是同级别的。 每个文本文件包含一个或者多个实例，每一行表示一个实例。 为了充分的随机打乱训练集, 在预处理含有多行数椐的文本文件时参数设置稍有不同, 执行`preprocess.sh`脚本时需要加上`-m True`参数。 tokenizer.perl 默认用来切分单记和标点符号，如果你不需要这个操作，在运行`preprocess.sh`时加上`-t False`参数即可。
-
-## 训练模型
-
-在这步任务中,我们使用了循环神经网络（RNN）的 LSTM 架构来训练情感分析模型。 引入LSTM模型主要是为了克服消失梯度的问题。 LSTM网络类似于具有隐藏层的标准循环神经网络, 但是隐藏层中的每个普通节点被一个记忆单元替换。 每个记忆单元包含四个主要的元素: 输入门, 具有自循环连接的神经元，忘记门和输出门。 更多的细节可以在文献中找到[4]。 LSTM架构的最大优点是它可以在长时间间隔内记忆信息，而没有短时记忆的损失。在有新的单词来临的每一个时间步骤内，存储在记忆单元区块的历史信息被更新用来迭代的学习单词以合理的序列程现。
-

-<center>图表 1. LSTM [3]</center>
-
-情感分析是自然语言理解中最典型的问题之一。 它的目的是预测在一个序列中表达的情感态度。 通常, ，仅仅是一些关键词，如形容词和副词，在预测序列或段落的情感中起主要作用。然而有些评论上下文非常长，例如 IMDB的数椐集。 我们只所以使用LSTM来执行这个任务是因为其改进的设计并且具有门机制。 首先，它能够从词级到具有可变上下文长度的上下文级别来总结表示。 第二，它可以在句子级别利用可扩展的上下文, 而大多数方法只是利用n-gram级别的知识。第三，它直接学习段落表示，而不是组合上下文级别信息。
-
-在本演示中，我们提供两个网络，即双向LSTM和三层堆叠LSTM。
-
-#### 双向LSTM

-图3是三层LSTM结构。图的底部是word embedding(对文档处理后形成的单词向量)。 接下来，连接三个LSTM隐藏层，并且第二个是反向LSTM。然后提取隐藏LSTM层的所有时间步长的最大词向量作为整个序列的表示。 最后，使用具有softmax激活的全连接前馈层来执行分类任务。 更多内容可查看参考文献 [5]。

-
-**训练**
-
-首先安装PaddlePaddle。 然后使用下面的脚本 `train.sh` 来开启本地的训练。
-
-```
-cd demo/sentiment/
-./train.sh
-```
-
-train.sh:
-
-```
-config=trainer_config.py
-output=./model_output
-paddle train --config=$config \
-             --save_dir=$output \
-             --job=train \
-             --use_gpu=false \
-             --trainer_count=4 \
-             --num_passes=10 \
-             --log_period=20 \
-             --dot_period=20 \
-             --show_parameter_stats_period=100 \
-             --test_all_data_in_one_period=1 \
-             2>&1 | tee 'train.log'
-```
-
-* \--config=$config: 设置网络配置。
-* \--save\_dir=$output: 设置输出路径以保存训练完成的模型。
-* \--job=train: 设置工作模式为训练。
-* \--use\_gpu=false: 使用CPU训练，如果你安装GPU版本的PaddlePaddle，并想使用GPU来训练设置为true。
-* \--trainer\_count=4:设置线程数（或GPU个数）。
-* \--num\_passes=15: 设置pass，PaddlePaddle中的一个pass意味着对数据集中的所有样本进行一次训练。
-* \--log\_period=20: 每20个batch打印一次日志。
-* \--show\_parameter\_stats\_period=100: 每100个batch打印一次统计信息。
-* \--test\_all_data\_in\_one\_period=1: 每次测试都测试所有数据。
-
-如果运行成功，输出日志保存在路径 `demo/sentiment/train.log`中，模型保存在目录`demo/sentiment/model_output/`中。  输出日志说明如下：
-
-```
-Batch=20 samples=2560 AvgCost=0.681644 CurrentCost=0.681644 Eval: classification_error_evaluator=0.36875  CurrentEval: classification_error_evaluator=0.36875

-Test samples=24999 cost=0.39297 Eval: classification_error_evaluator=0.149406
-```
-- Batch=xx: 表示训练了xx个Batch。
-- samples=xx: 表示训练了xx个样本。。
-- AvgCost=xx: 从第0个batch到当前batch的平均损失。
-- CurrentCost=xx: 最新log_period个batch处理的当前损失。
-- Eval: classification\_error\_evaluator=xx: 表示第0个batch到当前batch的分类错误。
-- CurrentEval: classification\_error\_evaluator: 最新log_period个batch的分类错误。
-- Pass=0: 通过所有训练集一次称为一遍。 0表示第一次经过训练集。
-
-默认情况下，我们使用`stacked_lstm_net`网络，当传递相同的样本数时，它的收敛速度比`bidirectional_lstm_net`快。如果要使用双向LSTM，只需删除最后一行中的注释并把“stacked_lstm_net”注释掉。
-
-## 测试模型
-
-测试模型是指使用训练出的模型评估已标记的验证集。
-
-```
-cd demo/sentiment
-./test.sh
-```
-
-test.sh:
-
-```bash
-function get_best_pass() {
-  cat $1  | grep -Pzo 'Test .*\n.*pass-.*' | \
-  sed  -r 'N;s/Test.* error=([0-9]+\.[0-9]+).*\n.*pass-([0-9]+)/\1 \2/g' | \
-  sort | head -n 1
-}
-
-log=train.log
-LOG=`get_best_pass $log`
-LOG=(${LOG})
-evaluate_pass="model_output/pass-${LOG[1]}"
-
-echo 'evaluating from pass '$evaluate_pass
-
-model_list=./model.list
-touch $model_list | echo $evaluate_pass > $model_list
-net_conf=trainer_config.py
-paddle train --config=$net_conf \
-             --model_list=$model_list \
-             --job=test \
-             --use_gpu=false \
-             --trainer_count=4 \
-             --config_args=is_test=1 \
-             2>&1 | tee 'test.log'
-```
-
-函数`get_best_pass`依据分类错误率获得最佳模型进行测试。 在本示例中，我们默认使用IMDB的测试数据集作为验证。 与训练不同，它需要在这里指定`--job = test`和模型路径，即`--model_list = $model_list`。如果运行成功，日志将保存在“demo / sentiment / test.log”的路径中。例如，在我们的测试中，最好的模型是`model_output / pass-00002`，分类误差是0.115645，如下：
-
-```
-Pass=0 samples=24999 AvgCost=0.280471 Eval: classification_error_evaluator=0.115645
-```
-
-## 预测
-
-`predict.py`脚本提供了一个预测接口。在使用它之前请安装PaddlePaddle的python api。 预测IMDB的未标记评论的一个实例如下：
-
-```
-cd demo/sentiment
-./predict.sh
-```
-predict.sh:
-
-```
-#Note the default model is pass-00002, you shold make sure the model path
-#exists or change the mode path.
-model=model_output/pass-00002/
-config=trainer_config.py
-label=data/pre-imdb/labels.list
-cat ./data/aclImdb/test/pos/10007_10.txt | python predict.py \
-     --tconf=$config\
-     --model=$model \
-     --label=$label \
-     --dict=./data/pre-imdb/dict.txt \
-     --batch_size=1
-```
-
-* `cat ./data/aclImdb/test/pos/10007_10.txt` : 输入预测样本。
-* `predict.py` : 预测接口脚本。
-* `--tconf=$config` : 设置网络配置。
-* `--model=$model` : 设置模型路径。
-* `--label=$label` : 设置标签类别字典，这个字典是整数标签和字符串标签的一个对应。
-* `--dict=data/pre-imdb/dict.txt` : 设置字典文件。
-* `--batch_size=1` : 设置batch size。
-
-注意应该确保默认模型路径`model_output / pass-00002`存在或更改为其它模型路径。
-
-本示例的预测结果：
-
-```
-Loading parameters from model_output/pass-00002/
-./data/aclImdb/test/pos/10014_7.txt: predicting label is pos
-```

-# Sentiment Analysis Tutorial
-
-Sentiment analysis has many applications. A basic task in sentiment analysis is classifying the polarity of a given text at the document, sentence or feature/aspect level. One simple example is to classify the customer reviews in a shopping website, a tourism website, and group buying websites like Amazon, TaoBao, Tmall etc.
-
-Sentiment analysis is also used to monitor social media based on large amount of reviews or blogs. For example, the researchers analyzed several surveys on consumer confidence and political opinion, found they correlate to sentiment word frequencies in contemporaneous Twitter messages [1]. Another example is to forecast stock movements through analyzing the text content of a daily Twitter blog [2].
-
-On the other hand, grabbing the user comments of products and analyzing their sentiment are useful to understand user preferences for companies, products, even competing products.
-
-This tutorial will guide you through the process of training a Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) Network to classify the sentiment of sentences from [Large Movie Review Dataset](http://ai.stanford.edu/~amaas/data/sentiment/), sometimes known as the Internet Movie Database (IMDB). This dataset contains movie reviews along with their associated binary sentiment polarity labels, namely positive and negative. So randomly guessing yields 50% accuracy.
-
-## Data Preparation
-
-### IMDB Data Introduction
-
-Before training models, we need to preprocess the data and build a dictionary. First, you can use following script to download IMDB dataset and [Moses](http://www.statmt.org/moses/) tool, which is a statistical machine translation system. We provide a data preprocessing script, which is capable of handling not only IMDB data, but also other user-defined data. In order to use the pre-written script, it needs to move labeled train and test samples to another path, which has been done in `get_imdb.sh`.
-
-```
-cd demo/sentiment/data
-./get_imdb.sh
-```
-If the data is obtained successfuly, you will see the following files at ```./demo/sentiment/data```:
-
-```
-aclImdb  get_imdb.sh  imdb  mosesdecoder-master
-```
-
-* aclImdb: raw dataset downloaded from website.
-* imdb: only contains train and test data.
-* mosesdecoder-master: Moses tool.
-
-IMDB dataset contains 25,000 highly polar movie reviews for training, and 25,000 for testing. A negative review has a score ≤ 4 out of 10, and a positive review has a score ≥ 7 out of 10. After running `./get_imdb.sh`, we can find the dataset has the following structure in `aclImdb`.
-
-```
-imdbEr.txt  imdb.vocab  README  test  train
-```
-* train: train sets.
-* test : test sets.
-* imdb.vocab: dictionary.
-* imdbEr.txt: expected rating for each token in imdb.vocab.
-* README: data documentation.
-
-The file in train set directory is as follows. The test set also contains them except `unsup` and `urls_unsup.txt`.
-
-```
-labeledBow.feat  neg  pos  unsup  unsupBow.feat  urls_neg.txt  urls_pos.txt  urls_unsup.txt
-```
-
-* pos: positive samples, contains 12,500 txt files, each file is one movie review.
-* neg: negative samples, contains 12,500 txt files, each file is one movie review.
-* unsup: unlabeled samples, contains 50,000 txt files.
-* urls_xx.txt: urls of each reviews.
-* xxBow.feat: already-tokenized bag of words (BoW) features.
-
-### IMDB Data Preparation
-
-In this demo, we only use labled train and test set and not use imdb.vocab as dictionary. By default, dictionary is builded on train set. Train set is shuffled and test set is not. `tokenizer.perl` in Moses tool is used to tokenize the words and punctuation. Simply execute the following command to preprcess data.
-
-```
-cd demo/sentiment/
-./preprocess.sh
-```
-preprocess.sh:
-
-```
-data_dir="./data/imdb"
-python preprocess.py -i data_dir
-```
-
-* data_dir: input data directory.
-* preprocess.py: preprocess script.
-
-If running successfully, you will see `demo/sentiment/data/pre-imdb` directory as follows:
-
-```
-dict.txt  labels.list  test.list  test_part_000  train.list  train_part_000
-```
-* test\_part\_000 and train\_part\_000: all labeled test and train sets. Train sets have be shuffled.
-* train.list and test.list: train and test file lists.
-* dict.txt: dictionary generated on train sets by default.
-* labels.txt: neg  0, pos 1, means label 0 is negative review, label 1 is positive review.
-
-### User-defined Data Preparation
-
-If you perform other sentiment classifcation task, you can prepare data as follows. We have provided the scripts to build dictionary and preprocess data. So just organize data as follows.
-
-```
-dataset
-|----train
-|    |----class1
-|    |    |----text_files
-|    |----class2
-|    |    |----text_files
-|    |    ...
-|----test
-|    |----class1
-|    |    |----text_files
-|    |----class2
-|    |    |----text_files
-|    |    ...
-```
-* dataset: 1st directory.
-* train, test: 2nd directory.
-* class1,class2,...: 3rd directory.
-* text_files: samples with text file format.
-
-All samples with text files format under the same folder are same category. Each text file contains one or more samples and each line is one sample. In order to shuffle fully, the preprocessing is a little different for data with multiple lines in one text file, which needs to set `-m True` in `preprocess.sh`. And tokenizer.perl is used by default. If you don't need it, only set `-t False` in `preprocess.sh'.
-
-## Training
-
-In this task, we use Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) of LSTM architecure to train sentiment analysis model. LSTM model was introduced primarily in order to overcome the problem of vanishing gradients. LSTM network resembles a standard recurrent neural network with a hidden layer, but each ordinary node in the hidden layer is replaced by a memory cell. Each memory cell contains four main elements: an input gate, a neuron with a self-recurrent connection, a forget gate and an output gate. More details can be found in the literature [4]. The biggest advantage of the LSTM architecture is that it learns to memorize information over long time intervals without the loss of short time memory. At each time step with a new coming word, historical information stored in the memory block is updated to iteratively learn the sequence representation.

-<center>Figure 1. LSTM [3]</center>
-
-Sentiment analysis is among the most typical problems in natural language understanding. It aims at predicting the attitude expressed in a sequence. Usually, only some key words, like adjectives and adverbs words, play a major role in predicting the sentiment of sequences or paragraphs. However, some review or comment contexts are very long, such as IMDB dataset. We use LSTM to perform this task for its improved design with the gate mechanism. First, it is able to summarize the representation from word level to context level with variable context length which is adapted by the gate values. Second, it can utilize the expanded context at the sentence level, while most methods are good at utilizing n-gram level knowledge. Third, it learns the paragraph representation directly rather than combining the context level information. This results in this end-to-end framework.
-
-In this demo we provide two network, namely bidirectional-LSTM and three layers of stacked-LSTM.
-
-#### Bidirectional-LSTM
-
-One is a bidirectional LSTM network, connected by fully connected layer and softmax, as shown in Figure 2.
-
-<center>![BiLSTM](./bi_lstm.jpg)</center>
-<center>Figure 2. Bidirectional-LSTM </center>
-
-#### Stacked-LSTM
-Another is three-layer LSTM structure in Figure 3. The bottom of the figure is word embedding. Next, three LSTM-Hidden layers are connected and the second LSTM is reversed. Then extract the maximum hidden vectors of all time step of hidden and LSTM layer as the representation for the entire sequence. Finally, a fully connected feed forward layer with softmax activation is used to perform the classification task. This network is refered to paper [5].

-**Config**
-
-Switch into `demo/sentiment` directory, `trainer_config.py` file is an example of the config, containing algorithm and newtork configure. The first line imports predefined networks from `sentiment_net.py`.
-
-trainer_config.py:
-
-```python

-
-**Training**
-
-Install PaddlePaddle first if necessary. Then you can use script `train.sh` as follows to launch local training.
-
-```
-cd demo/sentiment/
-./train.sh
-```
-
-train.sh:
-
-```
-config=trainer_config.py
-output=./model_output
-paddle train --config=$config \
-             --save_dir=$output \
-             --job=train \
-             --use_gpu=false \
-             --trainer_count=4 \
-             --num_passes=10 \
-             --log_period=20 \
-             --dot_period=20 \
-             --show_parameter_stats_period=100 \
-             --test_all_data_in_one_period=1 \
-             2>&1 | tee 'train.log'
-```
-
-* \--config=$config: set network config.
-* \--save\_dir=$output: set output path to save models.
-* \--job=train: set job mode to train.
-* \--use\_gpu=false: use CPU to train, set true, if you install GPU version of PaddlePaddle and want to use GPU to train.
-* \--trainer\_count=4: set thread number (or GPU count).
-* \--num\_passes=15: set pass number, one pass in PaddlePaddle means training all samples in dataset one time.
-* \--log\_period=20: print log every 20 batches.
-* \--show\_parameter\_stats\_period=100: show parameter statistic every 100 batches.
-* \--test\_all_data\_in\_one\_period=1: test all data every testing.
-
-If the run succeeds, the output log is saved in path of `demo/sentiment/train.log` and model is saved in path of `demo/sentiment/model_output/`. The output log is explained as follows.
-
-```
-Batch=20 samples=2560 AvgCost=0.681644 CurrentCost=0.681644 Eval: classification_error_evaluator=0.36875  CurrentEval: classification_error_evaluator=0.36875
-...
-Pass=0 Batch=196 samples=25000 AvgCost=0.418964 Eval: classification_error_evaluator=0.1922
-Test samples=24999 cost=0.39297 Eval: classification_error_evaluator=0.149406
-```
-- Batch=xx: means passing xx batches.
-- samples=xx: means passing xx samples.
-- AvgCost=xx: averaged cost from 0-th batch to current batch.
-- CurrentCost=xx: current cost of latest log_period batches.
-- Eval: classification\_error\_evaluator=xx: means classfication error from 0-th batch ro current batch.
-- CurrentEval: classification\_error\_evaluator: current classfication error of the lates log_period batches.
-- Pass=0: Going through all training set one time is called one pass. 0 means going through training set first time.
-
-By default, we use the `stacked_lstm_net` network, which converges at a faster rate than `bidirectional_lstm_net` when passing same sample number. If you want to use bidirectional LSTM, just remove comment in the last line and comment `stacked_lstm_net`.
-
-## Testing
-
-Testing means evaluating the labeled validation set using trained model.
-
-```
-cd demo/sentiment
-./test.sh
-```
-
-test.sh:
-
-```bash
-function get_best_pass() {
-  cat $1  | grep -Pzo 'Test .*\n.*pass-.*' | \
-  sed  -r 'N;s/Test.* error=([0-9]+\.[0-9]+).*\n.*pass-([0-9]+)/\1 \2/g' | \
-  sort | head -n 1
-}
-
-log=train.log
-LOG=`get_best_pass $log`
-LOG=(${LOG})
-evaluate_pass="model_output/pass-${LOG[1]}"
-
-echo 'evaluating from pass '$evaluate_pass
-
-model_list=./model.list
-touch $model_list | echo $evaluate_pass > $model_list
-net_conf=trainer_config.py
-paddle train --config=$net_conf \
-             --model_list=$model_list \
-             --job=test \
-             --use_gpu=false \
-             --trainer_count=4 \
-             --config_args=is_test=1 \
-             2>&1 | tee 'test.log'
-```
-
-The function `get_best_pass` gets the best model by classification error rate for testing. In this example, We use test dataset of IMDB as validation by default. Unlike training, it needs to specify `--job=test` and model path, namely `--model_list=$model_list` here. If running successfully, the log is saved in path of `demo/sentiment/test.log`. For example, in our test, the best model is `model_output/pass-00002`, the classification error is 0.115645 as follows.
-
-```
-Pass=0 samples=24999 AvgCost=0.280471 Eval: classification_error_evaluator=0.115645
-```
-
-## Prediction
-
-`predict.py` provides a predicting interface. You should install python api of PaddlePaddle before using it. One example to predict unlabeled review of IMDB is as follows. Simply running:
-
-```
-cd demo/sentiment
-./predict.sh
-```
-predict.sh:
-
-```
-#Note the default model is pass-00002, you shold make sure the model path
-#exists or change the mode path.
-model=model_output/pass-00002/
-config=trainer_config.py
-label=data/pre-imdb/labels.list
-cat ./data/aclImdb/test/pos/10007_10.txt | python predict.py \
-     --tconf=$config\
-     --model=$model \
-     --label=$label \
-     --dict=./data/pre-imdb/dict.txt \
-     --batch_size=1
-```
-
-* `cat ./data/aclImdb/test/pos/10007_10.txt` : the input sample.
-* `predict.py` : predicting interface.
-* `--tconf=$config` : set network configure.
-* ` --model=$model` : set model path.
-* `--label=$label` : set dictionary about corresponding relation between integer label and string label.
-* `--dict=data/pre-imdb/dict.txt` : set dictionary.
-* `--batch_size=1` : set batch size.
-
-Note you should make sure the default model path `model_output/pass-00002`
-exists or change the model path.
-
-Predicting result of this example:
-
-```
-Loading parameters from model_output/pass-00002/
-./data/aclImdb/test/pos/10014_7.txt: predicting label is pos
-```

-## 数据准备 ##
-### 下载与解压缩 ###
-从该链接 [http://www-lium.univ-lemans.fr/~schwenk/cslm\_joint\_paper/](http://www-lium.univ-lemans.fr/~schwenk/cslm_joint_paper/) 下载WMT-14数据集，然后解压，并将Develop和Test数据分别放入不同的文件夹。
-
-- **Train data**: [bitexts (选择过后的)](http://www-lium.univ-lemans.fr/~schwenk/cslm_joint_paper/data/bitexts.tgz)
-- **Develop and Test data**: [dev 与 test 数据](http://www-lium.univ-lemans.fr/~schwenk/cslm_joint_paper/data/dev+test.tgz)
-
-在Linux下，只需要简单地运行以下命令。否则你需要自己下载、解压、拆分到不同文件夹、并且分别重命名文件后缀。
-
-```bash
-cd demo/seqToseq/data
-./wmt14_data.sh
-```
-
-我们会发现数据集 `wmt14` 中包含如下表所示的3个文件夹。
-<table border="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="6" rules="all" frame="border">
-<colgroup>
-<col  class="left" />
-<col  class="left" />
-<col  class="left" />
-<col  class="left" />
-</colgroup>
-
-<thead>
-<tr>
-<th scope="col" class="left">folder name</th>
-<th scope="col" class="left">French-English parallel corpora file</th>
-<th scope="col" class="left">number of total file</th>
-<th scope="col" class="left">size</th>
-</tr>
-</thead>
-
-<tbody>
-<tr>
-<td class="left">train_data</td>
-<td class="left">ccb2_pc30.src, ccb2_pc30.trg, etc</td>
-<td class="left">12</td>
-<td class="left">3.55G</td>

-
-<tr>
-<td class="left">gen_data</td>
-<td class="left">ntst14.src, ntst14.trg</td>
-<td class="left">2</td>
-<td class="left">864k</td>
-</tr>
-</tbody>
-</table>
-<br/>
-
-- 每个文件夹都包含法语到英语的平行语料库
-- **XXX.src** 是原始法语文件；**XXX.trg** 是目标英语文件
-- **XXX.src** 和 **XXX.trg** 的行数应该一致
-- 每行都是一个法语或者英语的句子
-- **XXX.src** 和 **XXX.trg** 中任意第i行的句子之间都有着一一对应的关系
-
-### 用户自定义数据集 ###
-
-如果你想进行诸如语义转述（Paraphrasing）等其他“序列到序列”的任务，你只需要按照如下方式组织数据，并将它们放在`demo/seqToseq/data`目录下：
-
-    dataset
-      train
-        file1.src file1.trg
-        file2.src file2.trg
-        ......
-      test
-        file1.src file1.trg
-        file2.src file2.trg
-        ......
-      gen
-        file1.src file1.trg
-        file2.src file2.trg
-        ......
-  
-- 一级目录：数据集文件夹名称
-- 二级目录：train、test和gen这三个文件夹是固定的
-- 三级目录：源语言到目标语言的平行语料库文件
-  - **XXX.src** 是源语言的文件，**XXX.trg** 时目标语言的文件
-  - 文件中的每行都必须是一个句子
-  - **XXX.src** 和 **XXX.trg** 中任意第i行的句子之间都必须有着一一对应的关系
-
-## 数据预处理 ##
-### 预处理工作流程 ###
-- 将每个源语言到目标语言的平行语料库文件合并为一个文件：
-  - 合并每个 **XXX.src** 和 **XXX.trg** 文件为 **XXX**
-  - **XXX** 中的第i行 = **XXX.src** 中的第i行 + '\t' + **XXX.trg**中的第i行
-- 创建训练数据的“源字典”和“目标字典”，每个字典都有DICTSIZE个单词，包括：
-  - 词频最高的（DICTSIZE - 3）个单词
-  - 3个特殊符号
-  - `<s>`：序列的开始
-  - `<e>`：序列的结束
-  - `<unk>`：未包含在字典中的单词
-
-### 预处理命令和结果
-对数据集进行预处理的基本命令是：
-
-```python
-cd demo/seqToseq/
-python preprocess.py -i INPUT [-d DICTSIZE] [-m]
-```
-
-- `-i INPUT`：输入的原始数据集路径
-- `-d DICTSIZE`：指定的字典单词数，如果没有设置，字典会包含输入数据集中的所有单词
-- `-m --mergeDict`：合并 “源字典”和“目标字典”，使得两个字典有相同的上下文
-
-你将会看到如下消息：
-
-    concat parallel corpora for dataset
-    build source dictionary for train data
-    build target dictionary for train data
-    dictionary size is XXX
-
-然后你只需要运行以下命令：
-
-```python
-python preprocess.py -i data/wmt14 -d 30000
-```
-
-这将花费数分钟的时间，并且将预处理好的数据集存放在`demo/seqToseq/data/pre-wmt14`目录下。目录结构如下：
-
-    train test gen train.list test.list gen.list src.dict trg.dict# Text generation Tutorial #
-
-- **train, test, gen**：分别包含了法语到英语的平行语料库的训练数据、测试数据和生成数据。文件夹中的每个文件的每一行包含两部分，首先是法语序列，然后是对应的英语序列。
-- **train.list, test.list, gen.list**：分别为train，test，gen文件夹中的文件列表
-- **src.dict, trg.dict**：源（法语）/目标（英语）字典，每个字典包含总共30000个单词：29997个最高频单词和3个特殊符号
-
-## 模型训练 ##
-### 简介###
-
-神经网络机器翻译（NMT）旨在建立一个可以被协同调至最优翻译效果的单神经元网络。近期提出的NMT模型通常都属于编解码模型（encoder–decoder models）的一种。编解码模型将一个源语句编码为一个定长的向量，然后解码器通过这个向量生成一个目标语句。
-
-在这个任务中，我们使用了一个编解码模型的扩展，它同时学习排列(align)与翻译。每当模型在翻译过程中生成了一个单词，它就会在源语句中搜索出最相关信息的位置的集合。解码器根据上下文向量预测出一个目标单词，这个向量与源中搜索出的位置和所有之前生成的目标单词有关。如想了解更多详细的解释，可以参考 [Neural Machine Translation by Jointly Learning to Align and Translate](http://arxiv.org/abs/1409.0473)。
-
-这个模型对于编解码模型来说，最不同的特色是它并没有将输入语句编码为一个单独的定长向量。相反，它将输入语句编码为向量的序列，其中每个向量对应输入语句中的一个元素。然后在解码被翻译的语句时，会自适应地从这些向量中选择一个子集出来。这使得NMT模型得以解放出来，不必再将任意长度源语句中的所有信息压缩至一个定长的向量中。该模型在长语句翻译的场景下效果提升更加明显，在任意长度语句翻译的场景下都可以观察到其效果的提升。

-
-### 使用PaddlePaddle训练模型 ###
-我们在训练之前需要常见一个模型配置文件，这里是一个例子`demo/seqToseq/translation/train.conf`。前三行import了定义network，job_mode和attention_mode的python函数。
-
-```python
-from seqToseq_net import *
-is_generating = False
-
-### Data Definiation
-train_conf = seq_to_seq_data(data_dir = "./data/pre-wmt14",
-                             is_generating = is_generating)
-
-### Algorithm Configuration
-settings(
-    learning_method = AdamOptimizer(),
-    batch_size = 50,
-    learning_rate = 5e-4)
-
-### Network Architecture
-gru_encoder_decoder(train_conf, is_generating)
-```
-
-1. **Data Definiation**：在示例中我们定义了一个序列到序列的训练和测试数据。它返回train_conf作为配置，其输入参数如下：
-  - data_dir：训练数据和测试数据的目录
-  - is_generating：这个配置是否用来生成，这里设置为False
-2. **Algorithm Configuration**：在示例中我们使用SGD训练算法（默认），和ADAM学习方法，指定batch_size为50，learning_rate为5e-4
-3. **Network Architecture**：在示例中我们使用attention版本的GRU编解码网络。它包括了一个双向的GRU作为编码器和解码器，它模拟了解码翻译过程中在源语句中的搜索。
-
-### 训练模型的命令与结果###
-写完模型配置之后，我们可以通过以下命令来训练模型：
-
-```bash
-cd demo/seqToseq/translation
-./train.sh
-```
-
-`train.sh` 的内容如下所示：
-
-```bash
-paddle train \
---config='translation/train.conf' \
---save_dir='translation/model' \
---use_gpu=false \
---num_passes=16 \
---show_parameter_stats_period=100 \
---trainer_count=4 \
---log_period=10 \
---dot_period=5 \
-2>&1 | tee 'translation/train.log'
-```
-- config: 设置神经网络的配置文件
-- save_dir: 设置保存模型的输出路径
-- use_gpu: 是否使用GPU训练，这里设置为使用CPU
-- num_passes: 设置passes的数量。paddle中的一条pass表示训练数据集中所有的样本一次
-- show_parameter_stats_period: 这里每隔100个batch显示一次参数统计信息
-- trainer_count: 设置CPU线程数或者GPU设备数
-- log_period: 这里每隔10个batch打印一次日志
-- dot_period: 这里每个5个batch打印一个点"."
-
-训练的损失函数默认每隔10个batch打印一次，你将会看到如下消息：
-
-    I0719 19:16:45.952062 15563 TrainerInternal.cpp:160]  Batch=10 samples=500 AvgCost=198.475 CurrentCost=198.475 Eval: classification_error_evaluator=0.737155  CurrentEval: classification_error_evaluator=0.737155
-    I0719 19:17:56.707319 15563 TrainerInternal.cpp:160]  Batch=20 samples=1000 AvgCost=157.479 CurrentCost=116.483 Eval: classification_error_evaluator=0.698392  CurrentEval: classification_error_evaluator=0.659065
-    .....
-- AvgCost：从第0个batch到当前batch的平均cost
-- CurrentCost:：当前batch的cost
-- classification\_error\_evaluator(Eval)：从第0个评估到当前评估中，每个单词的预测错误率
-- classification\_error\_evaluator(CurrentEval)：当前评估中，每个单词的预测错误率
-
-当classification\_error\_evaluator的值低于0.35时，模型就训练成功了。
-
-## 文本生成 ##
-### 简介###
-
-一般而言，NMT模型受制于源语句的编码，并且通过给出当前目标单词来预测下一个目标单词。在训练过程中，当前单词在相比之下总是被当作真值（ground truth）。在生成过程中，当前单词是解码器最后一步的输出，这来自于PaddlePaddle的内存中。
-
-而且，我们使用集束搜索（Beam Search）来生成序列。集束搜索使用广度优先搜索来构建搜索树。对于树的每一层，生成当前层的所有后继状态，并将它们按照启发代价（heuristic cost）升序排列。但是这种方法在每层只保存预设数量的最优状态（这个数量称为beam size）。
-
-### 预训练的模型 ###
-我们在拥有50个节点的集群中训练模型，每个节点有两个6核CPU。我们在5天里训练了16个pass，其中每条pass花费了7个小时。model_dir中有16个子目录，每个里面都包含202MB的全部的模型参数。然后我们发现pass-00012的模型有着最高的BLEU值27.77（参考文献[BLEU: a Method for Automatic Evaluation of Machine Translation](http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/P02-1040.pdf)）。要下载解压这个模型，只需在linux下运行如下命令：
-
-```bash
-cd demo/seqToseq/data
-./wmt14_model.sh
-```
-
-### 使用PaddlePaddle生成模型 ###
-在翻译法语句子之前，我们需要创建模型配置文件。这里是一个例子`demo/seqToseq/translation/gen.conf`。前三行import了定义network，job_mode和attention_mode的python函数。
-
-```python
-from seqToseq_net import *
-is_generating = True
-
-################## Data Definiation #####################
-gen_conf = seq_to_seq_data(data_dir = "./data/pre-wmt14",
-                           is_generating = is_generating,
-                           gen_result = "./translation/gen_result")
-
-############## Algorithm Configuration ##################
-settings(
-  learning_method = AdamOptimizer(),
-  batch_size = 1,
-  learning_rate = 0)
-
-################# Network configure #####################
-gru_encoder_decoder(gen_conf, is_generating)
-```
-
-1. **Data Definiation**：在示例中我们定义了一个序列到序列的生成数据。它返回gen_conf作为配置，其输入参数如下：
-  - data_dir：生成数据的目录
-  - is_generating：这个配置是否用来生成，这里设置为True
-  - gen_result：保存生成结果的文件
-2. **Algorithm Configuration**：在生成过程中我们使用SGD训练算法，并指定batch_size为1（每次生成1个序列），learning_rate为0
-3. **Network Architecture**：本质上与训练模型一样
-
-### 生成模型的命令与结果 ###
-写完模型配置之后，我们可以通过以下命令来进行从法语到英语的文本翻译：
-
-```bash
-cd demo/seqToseq/translation
-./gen.sh
-```
-
- `gen.sh` 的内容如下所示。与训练模型不同的是，这里有一些不同的参数需要指定：
-
-```bash
-paddle train \
---job=test \
---config='translation/gen.conf' \
---save_dir='data/wmt14_model' \
---use_gpu=true \
---num_passes=13 \
---test_pass=12 \
---trainer_count=1 \
-2>&1 | tee 'translation/gen.log'
-```
-- job：设置任务的模式为测试
-- save_dir：存储模型的路径
-- num_passes and test_pass：从test_pass到（num_passes - 1）加载模型参数，这里只加载 `data/wmt14_model/pass-00012`
-
-你将会看到这样的消息：
-
-    I0706 14:48:31.178915 31441 GradientMachine.cpp:143] Loading parameters from data/wmt14_model/pass-00012
-    I0706 14:48:40.012039 31441 Tester.cpp:125]  Batch=100 samples=100 AvgCost=0
-    I0706 14:48:48.898632 31441 Tester.cpp:125]  Batch=200 samples=200 AvgCost=0
-    ...
-
-然后在`demo/seqToseq/translation/gen_result`中的生成结果如下所示：
-
-    0
-    0       -11.1314         The <unk> <unk> about the width of the seats while large controls are at stake <e>
-    1       -11.1519         The <unk> <unk> on the width of the seats while large controls are at stake <e>
-    2       -11.5988         The <unk> <unk> about the width of the seats while large controls are at stake . <e>
-
-    1
-    0       -24.4149         The dispute is between the major aircraft manufacturers about the width of the tourist seats on the <unk> flights , paving the way for a <unk> confrontation during the month of the Dubai <unk> . <e>

-    ...
-
-- 这是集束搜索的结果，其中beam size是3
-- 第一行的“0”和第6行的“1”表示生成数据的序列id
-- 其他六行列出了集束搜索的结果
-  - 第二列是集束搜索的得分（从大到小）
-  - 第三列是生成的英语序列
-- 有两个特殊标识：
-  - `<e>`：序列的结尾
-  - `<unk>`：不包含在字典中的单词
-
-### BLEU评估 ###
-对机器翻译的人工评估工作很广泛但也很昂贵。一篇论文 [BLEU: a Method for Automatic Evaluation of Machine Translation](http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/P02-1040.pdf) 展示了一种方法，当需要快速或者频繁的评估时，使用自动的替补来替代经验丰富的人工评判。[Moses](http://www.statmt.org/moses/) 是一个统计学的机器翻译系统，我们使用其中的 [multi-bleu.perl](https://github.com/moses-smt/mosesdecoder/blob/master/scripts/generic/multi-bleu.perl) 来做BLEU评估。运行以下命令来下载这个脚本：
-
-```bash
-cd demo/seqToseq/translation
-./moses_bleu.sh
-```
-
-由于标准的翻译结果已经下载到这里`data/wmt14/gen/ntst14.trg`，我们可以运行以下命令来做BLEU评估。
-
-```bash
-cd demo/seqToseq/translation
-./eval_bleu.sh FILE BEAMSIZE
-```
-
-- FILE：生成的结果文件
-- BEAMSIZE：集束搜索中的扩展广度

-# Text generation Tutorial #
-
-Sequence to sequence has been proven to be a powerful model for language generation. It can be used for machine translation, query rewriting, image captioning, etc.
-
-This tutorial guides you through training a sequence to sequence model for neural machine translation (NMT) network that translates French to English.
-
-We follow the paper [Neural Machine Translation by Jointly Learning to Align and Translate](http://arxiv.org/abs/1409.0473) , which details the model architecture and training procedure for good performance on WMT-14 dataset. This tutorial reproduces this result in PaddlePaddle.
-
-We thank @caoying for the pull request that defines the model architecture and solver configurations.
-
-## Data Preparation ##
-### Download and Extract ###
-Download the WMT-14 dataset from [http://www-lium.univ-lemans.fr/~schwenk/cslm\_joint\_paper/](http://www-lium.univ-lemans.fr/~schwenk/cslm_joint_paper/), extract it, and divide Develop and Test data into separate folder.
-
-- **Train data**: [bitexts (after selection)](http://www-lium.univ-lemans.fr/~schwenk/cslm_joint_paper/data/bitexts.tgz)
-- **Develop and Test data**: [dev+test data](http://www-lium.univ-lemans.fr/~schwenk/cslm_joint_paper/data/dev+test.tgz)
-
-To do this, simply run the following commands in linux, otherwise, you need to download, extract, divide, and rename the file suffix respectively.
-
-```bash
-cd demo/seqToseq/data
-./wmt14_data.sh
-```
-
-We should find that the dataset `wmt14` has three folders as shown in the following table.
-<table border="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="6" rules="all" frame="border">
-<colgroup>
-<col  class="left" />
-<col  class="left" />
-<col  class="left" />
-<col  class="left" />
-</colgroup>
-
-<thead>
-<tr>
-<th scope="col" class="left">folder name</th>
-<th scope="col" class="left">French-English parallel corpora file</th>
-<th scope="col" class="left">number of total file</th>
-<th scope="col" class="left">size</th>
-</tr>
-</thead>
-
-<tbody>
-<tr>
-<td class="left">train_data</td>
-<td class="left">ccb2_pc30.src, ccb2_pc30.trg, etc</td>
-<td class="left">twelve</td>
-<td class="left">3.55G</td>

-
-<tr>
-<td class="left">test_data</td>
-<td class="left">ntst1213.src, ntst1213.trg</td>

-<td class="left">1636k</td>
-</tr>
-
-<tr>
-<td class="left">gen_data</td>
-<td class="left">ntst14.src, ntst14.trg</td>
-<td class="left">two</td>
-<td class="left">864k</td>
-</tr>
-</tbody>
-</table>
-<br/>
-
-- Each folder has French-English parallel corpora
-- **XXX.src** are source French files; **XXX.trg** are target English files.
-- The number of lines of **XXX.src** and **XXX.trg** should be the same.
-- Each line is a French/English sentence.
-- There is a one-to-one correspondence between the sentence at the i-th line of **XXX.src** and **XXX.trg**.
-
-### User Defined Dataset ###
-
-If you need to do other sequence-to-sequence tasks, such as Paraphrasing, you only need to organize the data as follows, and place them in `demo/seqToseq/data`:
-
-    dataset
-      train
-        file1.src file1.trg
-        file2.src file2.trg
-        ......
-      test
-        file1.src file1.trg
-        file2.src file2.trg
-        ......
-      gen
-        file1.src file1.trg
-        file2.src file2.trg
-        ......
-- 1st directory: dataset folder name
-- 2nd directory: folder of train, test, and gen. The names of these three folders are fixed.
-- 3rd file: Source-Target parallel corpora files.
-  - **XXX.src** are source files, **XXX.trg** are target files.
-  - Each line of the file must be a sequence.
-  - There should be a one-to-one correspondence between the i-th sequence of **XXX.src** and **XXX.trg**.
-
-## Data Preprocess ##
-### Preprocessing Workflow ###
-- Concat each Source-Target parallel corpora to be one file:
-  - concat each **XXX.src** and **XXX.trg** to be **XXX**.
-  - the i-th line of **XXX** = the i-th line of **XXX.src** + '\t' + the i-th line of **XXX.trg**
-- Build source and target dictionary of train data, each dictionary has DICTSIZE words:
-  - the most frequent (DICTSIZE-3) words
-  - 3 special token:
-    - `<s>`: the start of a sequence
-    - `<e>`: the end of a sequence
-    - `<unk>`: a word not included in dictionary
-
-### Preprocessing Command and Result
-The general command for preprocessing the dataset is:
-
-```python
-cd demo/seqToseq/
-python preprocess.py -i INPUT [-d DICTSIZE] [-m]
-```
-
-- `-i INPUT`: the path of input original dataset
-- `-d DICTSIZE`: the specified word count of dictionary, if not set, dictionary will contain all the words in input dataset
-- `-m --mergeDict`: merge source and target dictionary, thus, two dictionaries have the same context
-
-And you will see messages like this:
-
-    concat parallel corpora for dataset
-    build source dictionary for train data
-    build target dictionary for train data
-    dictionary size is XXX
-
-Here, you can simply run the command:
-
-```python
-python preprocess.py -i data/wmt14 -d 30000
-```
-
-It will take several minutes, and store the preprocessed dataset in `demo/seqToseq/data/pre-wmt14`, the directory has following structure.
-
-    train test gen train.list test.list gen.list src.dict trg.dict
-
-- **train, test, gen**: folder contains French-English parallel corpora of train data, test data and gen data respectively. Each line of file in folder contains two parts, the former is a French sequence, and the latter is a corresponding English sequence.
-- **train.list, test.list, gen.list**: text contains a file list in train folder, test folder and gen folder respectively
-- **src.dict, trg.dict**: source (French) / target (English) dictionary, each dictionary has 30000 words: the most frequent 29997 words and 3 special token
-
-## Model Training ##
-### Introduction ###
-
-Neural machine translation (NMT) aims at building a single neural network that can be jointly tuned to maximize translation performance. Recently proposed NMT models often belong to a family of encoder–decoder models. Encoder-Decoder models encode a source sentence into a fixed-length vector from which a decoder generates a target sentence.

-In this task, we use an extension to the encoder–decoder model which learns to align and translate jointly. Each time the model generates a word in a translation, it searches for a set of positions in the source sentence for the most relevant information.  The decoder predicts a target word based on the context vectors associated with these source positions and all the previous generated target words. For more detailed explanation, readers can refer to paper [Neural Machine Translation by Jointly Learning to Align and Translate](http://arxiv.org/abs/1409.0473).
-
-The most distinguishing feature of this model is that it doesn't encode an input sentence into a single fixed-length vector. Instead, it encodes the input sentence into a sequence of vectors, where one vector corresponds to an input element. A subset of these vectors is chosen adaptively while decoding the translated sentence. This frees a NMT model from having to squash all the information of a source sentence, regardless of its length, into a fixed-length vector. The improvement of this model is more apparent for longer sentences, but the improvement can be observed for sentences of any length.

-### Training Model in PaddlePaddle ###
-We need to create a model config file before training. Here is an example `demo/seqToseq/translation/train.conf`. The first three lines import python function for defining network, and define the job_mode and attention_mode.
-
-```python
-from seqToseq_net import *
-is_generating = False
-
-### Data Definiation
-train_conf = seq_to_seq_data(data_dir = "./data/pre-wmt14",
-                             is_generating = is_generating)
-
-### Algorithm Configuration
-settings(
-    learning_method = AdamOptimizer(),
-    batch_size = 50,
-    learning_rate = 5e-4)
-
-### Network Architecture
-gru_encoder_decoder(train_conf, is_generating)
-```
-
-1. **Data Definiation**: We define a SeqToSeq train and test data in our example. It returns train_conf as the configuration, following is its input arguments:
-   - data_dir: directory of train data and test data
-   - is\_generating: whether this config is used for generating, here is false
-2. **Algorithm Configuration**: We use the SGD training algorithm (default), ADAM learning method in our example, specify batch_size as 50, and learning rate as 5e-4.
-3. **Network Architecture**: We use an attention version of GRU Encoder-Decoder network in our example. It consists a bidirectional GRU as an encoder and a decoder that emulates searching through a source sentence during decoding a translation.
-
-### Training Command and Result###
-After writing the model config, we can train the model by running the command:
-
-```bash
-cd demo/seqToseq/translation
-./train.sh
-```
-
-The `train.sh` is shown as follows:
-
-```bash
-paddle train \
---config='translation/train.conf' \
---save_dir='translation/model' \
---use_gpu=false \
---num_passes=16 \
---show_parameter_stats_period=100 \
---trainer_count=4 \
---log_period=10 \
---dot_period=5 \
-2>&1 | tee 'translation/train.log'
-```
-- config: set config of neural network
-- save_dir: set output path to save models
-- use_gpu: whether to use GPU to train, here use CPU
-- num_passes: set number of passes. One pass in paddle means training all samples in dataset one time
-- show_parameter_stats_period: here show parameter statistic every 100 batches
-- trainer_count: set number of CPU threads or GPU devices
-- log_period: here print log every 10 batches
-- dot_period: here print '.' every 5 batches
-
-The training loss function is printed every 10 batch by default, and you will see messages like this:
-

-- AvgCost: Average Cost from 0th batch to current batch
-- CurrentCost: Cost in current batch
-- classification\_error\_evaluator(Eval): False prediction rate for each word from 0th evaluation to current evaluation
-- classification\_error\_evaluator(CurrentEval): False prediction rate for each word in current evaluation
-
-And when the classification\_error\_evaluator is less than 0.35, the model is trained sucessfully.
-
-## Text Generation ##
-### Introduction ###
-
-Generally speaking, the NMT model is conditioned on the encodings of the source sentence, and then to predict the next target word by given the current target word. In the training process, the current word is always knowns as the ground truth, by contrast. In the generating process, the current word is the output of the decoder in last time step, which is accessed to from a memory in PaddlePaddle.
-
-Besides, we use Beam Search to generate sequences. Beam search uses breadth-first search to build its search tree. At each level of the tree, it generates all successors of the states at the current level, sorting them in increasing order of heuristic cost. However, it only stores a predetermined number of best states at each level (called the beam size).
-
-### Pretrained model ###
-We trained the model on a cluster with 50 nodes, each node has two 6-core CPUs. We trained 16 passes in 5 days, where each pass takes 7 hours. The model_dir has 16 sub-folder, each of which contains the whole model parameters with 202MB size. And we find pass-00012 model has the highest BLEU 27.77 (see paper [BLEU: a Method for Automatic Evaluation of Machine Translation](http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/P02-1040.pdf)). To download and extract this model, simply run the following commands in linux.
-
-```bash
-cd demo/seqToseq/data
-./wmt14_model.sh
-```
-
-### Generating Model in PaddlePaddle ###
-We need to create a model config file before translating French sequence. Here is an example `demo/seqToseq/translation/gen.conf`, the first three lines import python function for defining network, and define the job\_mode and attention\_mode.
-
-```python
-from seqToseq_net import *
-is_generating = True
-
-################## Data Definiation #####################
-gen_conf = seq_to_seq_data(data_dir = "./data/pre-wmt14",
-                           is_generating = is_generating,
-                           gen_result = "./translation/gen_result")
-

-  batch_size = 1,
-  learning_rate = 0)
-
-################# Network configure #####################
-gru_encoder_decoder(gen_conf, is_generating)
-```
-
-1. **Data Definiation**: We defines an SeqToSeq gen data in our example. It returns gen_conf as the configuration, following is its input arguments:
-   - data\_dir: directory of gen data
-   - is\_generating: whether this config is used for generating, here is true
-   - gen\_result: file to store the generation result
-2. **Algorithm Configuration**: We use SGD traing algorithm in generation, and specify batch_size as 1 (each time generate one sequence), and learning rate as 0.
-3. **Network Architecture**: Essentially the same as the training model.
-
-### Generating Command and Result ###
-After writing the model config, we can do text translation from French to English by running the command:
-
-```bash
-cd demo/seqToseq/translation
-./gen.sh
-```
-
-The `gen.sh` is shown as follows, unlike training, there are some different arguments to specify:
-
-```bash
-paddle train \
---job=test \
---config='translation/gen.conf' \
---save_dir='data/wmt14_model' \
---use_gpu=true \
---num_passes=13 \
---test_pass=12 \
---trainer_count=1 \
-2>&1 | tee 'translation/gen.log'
-```
-- job: set job mode to test
-- save_dir: the path of saved models
-- num_passes and test_pass: loading model parameters from test_pass to (num_passes - 1), here only loads `data/wmt14_model/pass-00012`
-
-You will see messages like this:

-### Bleu Evalutaion ###
-Human evaluations of machine translation are extensive but expensive. Paper [BLEU: a Method for Automatic Evaluation of Machine Translation](http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/P02-1040.pdf) presents a method as an automated understudy to skilled human judges which substitutes for them when there is need for quick or frequent evaluations. [Moses](http://www.statmt.org/moses/) is a statistical machine translation system, and we use [multi-bleu.perl](https://github.com/moses-smt/mosesdecoder/blob/master/scripts/generic/multi-bleu.perl) of it to do Bleu Evalution. To download this script, simply run the following command:
-
-```bash
-cd demo/seqToseq/translation
-./moses_bleu.sh
-```
-
-Since the standard translation is alrealy downloaded as `data/wmt14/gen/ntst14.trg`, we can do Bleu Evalution by running the command:
-
-```bash
-cd demo/seqToseq/translation
-./eval_bleu.sh FILE BEAMSIZE
-```
-
-- FILE: the generation result file
-- BEAMSIZE: expand width in beam search
