Neural machine translation with attention

View on TensorFlow.org View source on GitHub Download notebook

This notebook trains a sequence to sequence (seq2seq) model for Spanish to English translation. This is an advanced example that assumes some knowledge of sequence to sequence models.

After training the model in this notebook, you will be able to input a Spanish sentence, such as "¿todavia estan en casa?", and return the English translation: "are you still at home?"

The translation quality is reasonable for a toy example, but the generated attention plot is perhaps more interesting. This shows which parts of the input sentence has the model's attention while translating:

Note: This example takes approximately 10 minutes to run on a single P100 GPU.

Download and prepare the dataset

We'll use a language dataset provided by http://www.manythings.org/anki/. This dataset contains language translation pairs in the format:

May I borrow this book? ¿Puedo tomar prestado este libro?

There are a variety of languages available, but we'll use the English-Spanish dataset. For convenience, we've hosted a copy of this dataset on Google Cloud, but you can also download your own copy. After downloading the dataset, here are the steps we'll take to prepare the data:

  1. Add a start and end token to each sentence.
  2. Clean the sentences by removing special characters.
  3. Create a word index and reverse word index (dictionaries mapping from word → id and id → word).
  4. Pad each sentence to a maximum length.

Limit the size of the dataset to experiment faster (optional)

Training on the complete dataset of >100,000 sentences will take a long time. To train faster, we can limit the size of the dataset to 30,000 sentences (of course, translation quality degrades with less data):

Write the encoder and decoder model

Implement an encoder-decoder model with attention which you can read about in the TensorFlow Neural Machine Translation (seq2seq) tutorial. This example uses a more recent set of APIs. This notebook implements the attention equations from the seq2seq tutorial. The following diagram shows that each input words is assigned a weight by the attention mechanism which is then used by the decoder to predict the next word in the sentence. The below picture and formulas are an example of attention mechanism from Luong's paper.

The input is put through an encoder model which gives us the encoder output of shape (batch_size, max_length, hidden_size) and the encoder hidden state of shape (batch_size, hidden_size).

Here are the equations that are implemented:

This tutorial uses Bahdanau attention for the encoder. Let's decide on notation before writing the simplified form:

  • FC = Fully connected (dense) layer
  • EO = Encoder output
  • H = hidden state
  • X = input to the decoder

And the pseudo-code:

  • score = FC(tanh(FC(EO) + FC(H)))
  • attention weights = softmax(score, axis = 1). Softmax by default is applied on the last axis but here we want to apply it on the 1st axis, since the shape of score is (batch_size, max_length, hidden_size). Max_length is the length of our input. Since we are trying to assign a weight to each input, softmax should be applied on that axis.
  • context vector = sum(attention weights * EO, axis = 1). Same reason as above for choosing axis as 1.
  • embedding output = The input to the decoder X is passed through an embedding layer.
  • merged vector = concat(embedding output, context vector)
  • This merged vector is then given to the GRU

The shapes of all the vectors at each step have been specified in the comments in the code:

                                 decoder=decoder)

Training

  1. Pass the input through the encoder which return encoder output and the encoder hidden state.
  2. The encoder output, encoder hidden state and the decoder input (which is the start token) is passed to the decoder.
  3. The decoder returns the predictions and the decoder hidden state.
  4. The decoder hidden state is then passed back into the model and the predictions are used to calculate the loss.
  5. Use teacher forcing to decide the next input to the decoder.
  6. Teacher forcing is the technique where the target word is passed as the next input to the decoder.
  7. The final step is to calculate the gradients and apply it to the optimizer and backpropagate.

Translate

  • The evaluate function is similar to the training loop, except we don't use teacher forcing here. The input to the decoder at each time step is its previous predictions along with the hidden state and the encoder output.
  • Stop predicting when the model predicts the end token.
  • And store the attention weights for every time step.

Note: The encoder output is calculated only once for one input.
