LSTM Description

This example is for LSTM model training and evaluation.

Paper: Andrew L. Maas, Raymond E. Daly, Peter T. Pham, Dan Huang, Andrew Y. Ng, Christopher Potts. Learning Word Vectors for Sentiment Analysis. Proceedings of the 49th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics: Human Language Technologies. 2011

Model Architecture

LSTM contains embeding, encoder and decoder modules. Encoder module consists of LSTM layer. Decoder module consists of fully-connection layer.

Dataset

Note that you can run the scripts based on the dataset mentioned in original paper or widely used in relevant domain/network architecture. In the following sections, we will introduce how to run the scripts using the related dataset below.

• aclImdb_v1 for training evaluation.Large Movie Review Dataset
• GloVe: Vector representations for words.GloVe: Global Vectors for Word Representation

Environment Requirements

• Hardware（GPU/CPU/Ascend）
  • If you want to try Ascend, please send the application form to ascend@huawei.com. Once approved, you could get the resources for trial.

Network Parameters

Dataset Preparation

• Download the dataset aclImdb_v1.

  Unzip the aclImdb_v1 dataset to any path you want and the folder structure should be as follows:

  .
  ├── train  # train dataset
  └── test   # infer dataset
  

• Download the GloVe file.

  Unzip the glove.6B.zip to any path you want and the folder structure should be as follows:

  .
  ├── glove.6B.100d.txt
  ├── glove.6B.200d.txt
  ├── glove.6B.300d.txt    # we will use this one later.
  └── glove.6B.50d.txt
  

  Adding a new line at the beginning of the file which named glove.6B.300d.txt.
  It means reading a total of 400,000 words, each represented by a 300-latitude word vector.

  400000    300
  

Training Process

• Set options in config.py, including learning rate and network hyperparameters.

• runing on Ascend

  Run sh run_train_ascend.sh for training.

  bash run_train_ascend.sh 0 ./aclimdb ./glove_dir
  

  The above shell script will train in the background. You will get the loss value as following:

  # grep "loss is " log.txt
  epoch: 1 step: 390, loss is 0.6003723
  epcoh: 2 step: 390, loss is 0.35312173
  ...
  

• runing on GPU

  Run sh run_train_gpu.sh for training.

  bash run_train_gpu.sh 0 ./aclimdb ./glove_dir
  

  The above shell script will run distribute training in the background. You will get the loss value as following:

  # grep "loss is " log.txt
  epoch: 1 step: 390, loss is 0.6003723
  epcoh: 2 step: 390, loss is 0.35312173
  ...
  

• runing on CPU

  Run sh run_train_cpu.sh for training.

  bash run_train_cpu.sh ./aclimdb ./glove_dir
  

  The above shell script will train in the background. You will get the loss value as following:

  # grep "loss is " log.txt
  epoch: 1 step: 390, loss is 0.6003723
  epcoh: 2 step: 390, loss is 0.35312173
  ...
  

Evaluation Process

• evaluation on Ascend

  Run bash run_eval_ascend.sh for evaluation.

  bash run_eval_ascend.sh 0 ./preprocess lstm-20_390.ckpt
  

• evaluation on GPU

  Run bash run_eval_gpu.sh for evaluation.

  bash run_eval_gpu.sh 0 ./aclimdb ./glove_dir lstm-20_390.ckpt
  

• evaluation on CPU

  Run bash run_eval_cpu.sh for evaluation.

  bash run_eval_cpu.sh ./aclimdb ./glove_dir lstm-20_390.ckpt
