LSTM Language Translation

In this project, we’re going to take a peek into the realm of neural network machine translation. We’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 a small portion of the English corpus.

import helper
import problem_unittests as tests

source_path = 'data/small_vocab_en'
target_path = 'data/small_vocab_fr'
source_text = helper.load_data(source_path)
target_text = helper.load_data(target_path)

Explore the Data

Play around with view_sentence_range to view different parts of the data.

view_sentence_range = (0, 10)

import numpy as np

print('Dataset Stats')
print('Roughly the number of unique words: {}'.format(len({word: None for word in source_text.split()})))

sentences = source_text.split('\n')
word_counts = [len(sentence.split()) for sentence in sentences]
print('Number of sentences: {}'.format(len(sentences)))
print('Average number of words in a sentence: {}'.format(np.average(word_counts)))

print()
print('English sentences {} to {}:'.format(*view_sentence_range))
print('\n'.join(source_text.split('\n')[view_sentence_range[0]:view_sentence_range[1]]))
print()
print('French sentences {} to {}:'.format(*view_sentence_range))
print('\n'.join(target_text.split('\n')[view_sentence_range[0]:view_sentence_range[1]]))
Dataset Stats

Number of sentences: 137861

Implement Preprocessing Function

Text to Word Ids

As we 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, we 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.

We 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.

def text_to_ids(source_text, target_text, source_vocab_to_int, target_vocab_to_int):
    """
    Convert source and target text to proper word ids
    :param source_text: String that contains all the source text.
    :param target_text: String that contains all the target text.
    :param source_vocab_to_int: Dictionary to go from the source words to an id
    :param target_vocab_to_int: Dictionary to go from the target words to an id
    :return: A tuple of lists (source_id_text, target_id_text)
    """

    source_id_text = [[source_vocab_to_int[w] for w in line.split()] for line in source_text.split('\n')]

    id_eos = target_vocab_to_int['<EOS>']

    target_id_text = [[target_vocab_to_int[w] for w in line.split()] + [id_eos] for line in target_text.split('\n')]

    return source_id_text, target_id_text

Preprocess all the data and save it

Running the code cell below will preprocess all the data and save it to file.

helper.preprocess_and_save_data(source_path, target_path, text_to_ids)

Check Point

This is our first checkpoint. If you ever decide to come back or have to restart the notebook, we can start from here. The preprocessed data has been saved to disk.

import numpy as np
import helper

(source_int_text, target_int_text), (source_vocab_to_int, target_vocab_to_int), _ = helper.load_preprocess()

Build the Neural Network

We’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)

def model_inputs():
    """
    Create TF Placeholders for input, targets, learning rate, and lengths of source and target sequences.

Sentence to Sequence

To feed a sentence into the model for translation, we first need to preprocess it. Implement the function sentence_to_seq() to preprocess new sentences.

  • Convert the sentence to lowercase
  • Convert words into ids using vocab_to_int
  • Convert words not in the vocabulary, to the <UNK> word id.
def sentence_to_seq(sentence, vocab_to_int):
    """
    Convert a sentence to a sequence of ids
    :param sentence: String
    :param vocab_to_int: Dictionary to go from the words to an id
    :return: List of word ids
    """

    sentence = sentence.lower()
    unk_id = vocab_to_int.get('<UNK>')
    ids = [vocab_to_int.get(word, unk_id) for word in sentence.split()]
    return ids

Translate

This will translate translate_sentence from English to French.

translate_sentence = 'he saw a old yellow truck .'

Imperfect Translation

We might notice that some sentences translate better than others. Since the dataset we’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, we 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.
