The Transformer model in Attention is all you need：a Keras implementation.

A Keras+TensorFlow Implementation of the Transformer: "Attention is All You Need" (Ashish Vaswani, Noam Shazeer, Niki Parmar, Jakob Uszkoreit, Llion Jones, Aidan N. Gomez, Lukasz Kaiser, Illia Polosukhin, arxiv, 2017)

Usage

Please refer to en2de_main.py and pinyin_main.py

en2de_main.py

• This task is same as in jadore801120/attention-is-all-you-need-pytorch: WMT'16 Multimodal Translation: Multi30k (de-en) (http://www.statmt.org/wmt16/multimodal-task.html). We borrowed the data proprocessing step 0 and 1 in the repository, and then construct the input file en2de.s2s.txt

Results

• The code achieves near results as in the repository: about 70% valid accuracy. If using smaller model parameters, such as layers=2 and d_model=256, the valid accuracy is better since the task is quite small.

For your own data

• Just preproess your source and target sequences as the format in en2de.s2s.txt and pinyin.corpus.examples.txt.

Some notes

• For larger number of layers, the special learning rate scheduler reported in the papar is necessary.
• In pinyin_main.py, I tried another method to train the deep network. I train the first layer and the embedding layer first, then train a 2-layers model, and then train a 3-layers, etc. It works in this task.
