+# Advbox
+
+Advbox is a Python toolbox to create adversarial examples that fool neural networks. It requires Python and paddle.
+
+## How to use
+
+1. train a model and save it's parameters. (like fluid_mnist.py)
+2. load the parameters which is trained in step1, then reconstruct the model.(like mnist_tutorial_fgsm.py)
+3. use advbox to generate the adversarial sample.

+It's not enough to only have some basic strategies. The pre-requisite of memory optimization is to know if a variable is still "live" after an operation.
 
 In our design, the neural network topology is defined as a program. Luckily, [live variable analysis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_variable_analysis) is a classic problem in compilers which can be used in many stages, such as register allocation. 
 
-In compilers, the front end of the compilers translates programs into an intermediate language with an unbounded number of temporaries. This program must run on a machine with a bounded number of registers. Two temporaries a and b can fit into the same register, if a and b are never "in use" at the same time. Thus, many temporaries can fit in few registers; if they don't all fit, the excess temporaries can be kept in memory.

 A simple way to perform data-flow analysis of programs is to set up dataflow equations for each node of the control flow graph and solve them by repeatedly calculating the output from the input locally at each node until the whole system stabilizes.

+Sequence Erase Operator.
+
+Sequence erase operator erases tokens specified by Attr(tokens) from the input 
+sequences Input(X), and outputs the remaining data and modifies the LoD 
+information at the same time. For example, given a 2-D LoDTensor
+
+    X = [[2, 2, 6, 1, 3, 9, 6, 1, 0, 1]]^T
+
+with lod = [[0, 3, 6, 10]], there are three sequences in the input:
+   
+     X1 = [[2, 2, 6]]^T, X2 = [[1, 3, 9]]^T and X3 = [[6, 1, 0, 1]]^T.
+
+If the tokens to be erased are Attr(tokens) = [2, 3, 5], after the erasing 
+operation, the three sequences become
+
+    X1' = [[6]]^T, X2' = [[1, 9]]^T and X3' = [[6, 1, 0, 1]]^T.
+
+Hence the LoDTensor Output(Out) should be
+
+    Out = [[6, 1, 9, 6, 1, 0, 1]]^T,
+
+with lod = [[0, 1, 3, 7]].
+
+An example usage for this operator is to remove the special tokens when 
+computing the edit distance between two strings, such as blank, start token, 
+and end token.

tools/manylinux1/README.md

+# buildtools
+
+We release PaddlePaddle and PaddlePaddle Fluid as shared libraries,
+which, we hope could be released as wheel packages on PyPI, so we need
+to make sure that the build follows the
+[manulinux1](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0513/) standard.
+
+The manylinux standard suggests building Python modules on an old
+system, because that a module would anyway depend on some shared
+libraries, and Linux's shared library standard states that those built
+with newer version compilers cannot work with those with older
+versions.  The suggested building environment is as old as CentOS 5.
+However, PaddlePaddle relies on CUDA, and the earlies version of
+[CentOS works with CUDA is 6](https://hub.docker.com/r/nvidia/cuda/).
+So, here we provide a Docker image basing on CentOS 6 and CUDA for
+building PaddlePaddle and making the release supports "as-manylinux as
+possible."  or "sufficiently many Linux" according to [this
+discussion](https://mail.python.org/pipermail/wheel-builders/2016-July/000175.html).
+
+The build output of our Docker image includes multiple wheel files --
+some contain the CPU-only binary, some others support CUDA; some are
+compatible with the cp27m Python ABI, some others with cp27.
+
+To build these wheels, please run the following commands:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/paddlepaddle/paddle
+cd paddle/tools/manylinux1
+REPO=[yourrepo] ./build_all.sh
+```
