This repository contains Keras, PyTorch and NumPy implementations of some deep learning architectures for NLP. For a quick theoretical intro about Deep Learning for NLP, I encourage you to have a look at my notes.

Neural Machine Translation (NMT) in PyTorch

https://github.com/Tixierae/deep_learning_NLP/tree/master/NMT

A compact, fully functional, and well-commented PyTorch implementation of the classical seq2seq model "Effective Approaches to Attention-based Neural Machine Translation" (Luong et al. 2015), with support for the three global attention mechanisms presented in subsection 3.1 of the paper: (1) dot, (2) general, and (3) concat, and also stacking vs non-stacking RNN encoder and decoder, and bidirectional vs unidirectional RNN encoder.

We experiment on a toy English -> French dataset from http://www.manythings.org/anki/, originally extracted from the Tatoeba project, with 136,521 sentence pairs for training and 34,130 pairs for testing.

Word2vec and doc2vec by hand in NumPy

https://github.com/Tixierae/deep_learning_NLP/blob/master/skipgram/sg_d2v_numpy.ipynb

In this notebook, we learn word and document vectors completely by hand on the IMDB movie review dataset, with just a for loop and NumPy! We implement the following models:

We also:

  • write an inference function to compute the vector of any new document
  • visualize word and document vectors separately, and together in the same space

Hierarchical Attention Network for Document Classification

A RAM-friendly implementation of the model introduced by Yang et al. (2016), with step-by-step explanations and links to relevant resources: https://github.com/Tixierae/deep_learning_NLP/blob/master/HAN/HAN_final.ipynb

In my experiments on the Amazon review dataset (3,650,000 documents, 5 classes), I reach 62.6% accuracy after 8 epochs, and 63.6% accuracy (the accuracy reported in the paper) after 42 epochs. Each epoch takes about 20 mins on my TitanX GPU. I deployed the model as a web app. As shown in the image below, you can paste your own review and visualize how the model pays attention to words and sentences.

Concepts covered

The notebook makes use of the following concepts:

  • batch training. Batches are loaded from disk and passed to the model one by one with a generator. This way, it's possible to train on datasets that are too big to fit on RAM.
  • bucketing. To have batches that are as dense as possible and make the most of each tensor product, the batches contain documents of similar sizes.
  • cyclical learning rate and cyclical momentum schedules, as in Smith (2017) and Smith (2018). The cyclical learning rate schedule is a new, promising approach to optimization in which the learning rate increases and decreases in a pre-defined interval rather than keeping decreasing. It worked better than Adam and SGD alone for me1.
  • self-attention (aka inner attention). We use the formulation of the original paper.
  • bidirectional RNN
  • Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU)

1There is more and more evidence that adaptive optimizers like Adam, Adagrad, etc. converge faster but generalize poorly compared to SGD-based approaches. For example: Wilson et al. (2018), this blogpost. Traditional SGD is very slow, but a cyclical learning rate schedule can bring a significant speedup, and even sometimes allow to reach better performance.

1D Convolutional Neural Network for short text classification

2D CNN for image classification

Agreed, this is not for NLP. But an implementation can be found here https://github.com/Tixierae/deep_learning_NLP/blob/master/CNN_MNIST/mnist_cnn.py. I reach 99.45% accuracy on MNIST with it.

Inverted index and TF-IDF by hand

This notebook provides simple functions to clean and index documents, and to execute word and phrase queries. It also shows how to compute TF-IDF coefficients. https://github.com/Tixierae/deep_learning_NLP/blob/master/other/inverted_index_tfidf.ipynb
