pytorch implementation of Attention is all you need

Overview

A Pytorch Implementation of the Transformer: Attention Is All You Need

Our implementation is largely based on Tensorflow implementation

Requirements

Why This Project?

I'm a freshman of pytorch. So I tried to implement some projects by pytorch. Recently, I read the paper Attention is all you need and impressed by the idea. So that's it. I got similar result compared with the original tensorflow implementation.

Differences with the original paper

I don't intend to replicate the paper exactly. Rather, I aim to implement the main ideas in the paper and verify them in a SIMPLE and QUICK way. In this respect, some parts in my code are different than those in the paper. Among them are

  • I used the IWSLT 2016 de-en dataset, not the wmt dataset because the former is much smaller, and requires no special preprocessing.
  • I constructed vocabulary with words, not subwords for simplicity. Of course, you can try bpe or word-piece if you want.
  • I parameterized positional encoding. The paper used some sinusoidal formula, but Noam, one of the authors, says they both work. See the discussion in reddit
  • The paper adjusted the learning rate to global steps. I fixed the learning to a small number, 0.0001 simply because training was reasonably fast enough with the small dataset (Only a couple of hours on a single GTX 1060!!).

File description

  • hyperparams.py includes all hyper parameters that are needed.
  • prepro.py creates vocabulary files for the source and the target.
  • data_load.py contains functions regarding loading and batching data.
  • modules.py has all building blocks for encoder/decoder networks.
  • train.py has the model.
  • eval.py is for evaluation.

Training

wget -qO- https://wit3.fbk.eu/archive/2016-01//texts/de/en/de-en.tgz | tar xz; mv de-en corpora
  • STEP 2. Adjust hyper parameters in hyperparams.py if necessary.
  • STEP 3. Run prepro.py to generate vocabulary files to the preprocessed folder.
  • STEP 4. Run train.py or download pretrained weights, put it into folder './models/' and change the eval_epoch in hpyerparams.py to 18
  • STEP 5. Show loss and accuracy in tensorboard
tensorboard --logdir runs

Evaluation

  • Run eval.py.

Results

I got a BLEU score of 16.7.(tensorflow implementation 17.14) (Recollect I trained with a small dataset, limited vocabulary) Some of the evaluation results are as follows. Details are available in the results folder.

  • A little difference between tf version  and your code in layer_normalization

    A little difference between tf version and your code in layer_normalization

    hi, thanks for your implementation~ When I look up your code and compare with the tf-version by Kyubyong, I fond that the implementation of layer normalization in your repository is slightly differing with Kyubyong's.

    followings are you code and K's code, and he added **0.5 in the denominator:

  • Fix a NameError in main()

    Fix a NameError in main()

    I fixed a NameError in main(). But still there exist other issues is your class "positional_encoding", round line 100 in the file modules.py . I am not quite sure that self._backend is inherited from nn.Module; and there is an AttributeError induced by this code:

    outputs = self._backend.Embedding.apply( position_ind, lookup_table, padding_idx, None, 2, False, False)

    I will figure out further how to sort out the issue~

  • there are many errors in this implementation, it's really difficult to run it.

    there are many errors in this implementation, it's really difficult to run it.

    1st, backend.Embedding is removed in pytorch. 2nd, the tensors in this repo are not in the same device type, this really messed up the code, I tried to modify this device the tensors in the code stored on, but the more I modify, the more errors it raised, finally I have no choice but giving up read and deploy this code. I suggest you try to define you code purely on cpu, not adding many codes in this repo to clarify than you run some operations on cuda, this really mess this repo up if you didn't make it clear that all the operation is compatible with the storing device type of all the variables.

    How to add some functionalities to this code?

    Hi. Please i would like to add some features to this code that i have read on beam search. Like coverage penalty and length normalization. But i don't know where to start. Can you help please?
