Language Translation

In this project, you’re going to take a peek into the realm of neural network machine translation. You’ll be training a sequence to sequence model on a dataset of English and French sentences that can translate new sentences from English to French.

Get the Data

Since translating the whole language of English to French will take lots of time to train, we have provided you with a small portion of the English corpus.

Implement Preprocessing Function

Text to Word Ids

As you did with other RNNs, you must turn the text into a number so the computer can understand it. In the function text_to_ids(), you'll turn source_text and target_text from words to ids. However, you need to add the <EOS> word id at the end of target_text. This will help the neural network predict when the sentence should end.

You can get the <EOS> word id by doing:

target_vocab_to_int['<EOS>']

You can get other word ids using source_vocab_to_int and target_vocab_to_int.

Build the Neural Network

You'll build the components necessary to build a Sequence-to-Sequence model by implementing the following functions below:

  • model_inputs
  • process_decoder_input
  • encoding_layer
  • decoding_layer_train
  • decoding_layer_infer
  • decoding_layer
  • seq2seq_model

Input

Implement the model_inputs() function to create TF Placeholders for the Neural Network. It should create the following placeholders:

  • Input text placeholder named "input" using the TF Placeholder name parameter with rank 2.
  • Targets placeholder with rank 2.
  • Learning rate placeholder with rank 0.
  • Keep probability placeholder named "keep_prob" using the TF Placeholder name parameter with rank 0.
  • Target sequence length placeholder named "target_sequence_length" with rank 1
  • Max target sequence length tensor named "max_target_len" getting its value from applying tf.reduce_max on the target_sequence_length placeholder. Rank 0.
  • Source sequence length placeholder named "source_sequence_length" with rank 1

Return the placeholders in the following the tuple (input, targets, learning rate, keep probability, target sequence length, max target sequence length, source sequence length)

Build the Decoding Layer

Implement decoding_layer() to create a Decoder RNN layer.

  • Embed the target sequences
  • Construct the decoder LSTM cell (just like you constructed the encoder cell above)
  • Create an output layer to map the outputs of the decoder to the elements of our vocabulary
  • Use the your decoding_layer_train(encoder_state, dec_cell, dec_embed_input, target_sequence_length, max_target_sequence_length, output_layer, keep_prob) function to get the training logits.
  • Use your decoding_layer_infer(encoder_state, dec_cell, dec_embeddings, start_of_sequence_id, end_of_sequence_id, max_target_sequence_length, vocab_size, output_layer, batch_size, keep_prob) function to get the inference logits.

Note: You'll need to use tf.variable_scope to share variables between training and inference.

Imperfect Translation

You might notice that some sentences translate better than others. Since the dataset you're using only has a vocabulary of 227 English words of the thousands that you use, you're only going to see good results using these words. For this project, you don't need a perfect translation. However, if you want to create a better translation model, you'll need better data.

You can train on the WMT10 French-English corpus. This dataset has more vocabulary and richer in topics discussed. However, this will take you days to train, so make sure you've a GPU and the neural network is performing well on dataset we provided. Just make sure you play with the WMT10 corpus after you've submitted this project.

Submitting This Project

When submitting this project, make sure to run all the cells before saving the notebook. Save the notebook file as "dlnd_language_translation.ipynb" and save it as a HTML file under "File" -> "Download as". Include the "helper.py" and "problem_unittests.py" files in your submission.
