Problem 1

You might have noticed that the definition of the LSTM cell involves 4 matrix multiplications with the input, and 4 matrix multiplications with the output. Simplify the expression by using a single matrix multiply for each, and variables that are 4 times larger.

Problem 2

We want to train a LSTM over bigrams, that is pairs of consecutive characters like 'ab' instead of single characters like 'a'. Since the number of possible bigrams is large, feeding them directly to the LSTM using 1-hot encodings will lead to a very sparse representation that is very wasteful computationally.

a- Introduce an embedding lookup on the inputs, and feed the embeddings to the LSTM cell instead of the inputs themselves.

b- Write a bigram-based LSTM, modeled on the character LSTM above.

c- Introduce Dropout. For best practices on how to use Dropout in LSTMs, refer to this article.


Let's first adapt the LSTM for a single character input with embeddings. The feed_dict is unchanged, the embeddings are looked up from the inputs. Note that the output is an array probability for the possible characters, not an embedding.

Even with more steps, the final perplexity is not better. Since I do not know what to expect, and since I do not see any obvious issue (the perplexity being consistent), I'm stuck.


Problem 3

(difficult!)

Write a sequence-to-sequence LSTM which mirrors all the words in a sentence. For example, if your input is:

the quick brown fox

the model should attempt to output:

eht kciuq nworb xof

Refer to the lecture on how to put together a sequence-to-sequence model, as well as this article for best practices.


Unfortunately I did not have time to work on this problem in the timeframe of the course.
