# Transformer

This is a pytorch implementation of the transformer model. If you'd like to understand the model, or any of the code better, please refer to <a href=https://towardsdatascience.com/how-to-code-the-transformer-in-pytorch-24db27c8f9ec>my tutorial</a>.

Using the Europarl dataset plus the dataset in the data folder, I was able to achieve a BLEU score of 0.39 on the test set (current SOTA is around 0.42), after 4/5 days of training on a single 8gb GPU. For more results see the tutorial again.

# Train the model immediately on FloydHub

[![Run on FloydHub](https://static.floydhub.com/button/button-small.svg)](https://floydhub.com/run)

Launch a [FloydHub Workspace](https://www.floydhub.com/product/build) to start training this model with 1 click. Workspace is a GPU-enabled cloud IDE for machine learning. It provides a fully configured environment so you can start hacking right away, without worrying about dependencies, data sets, etc.

Once you've started the workspace, run the 'start_here' notebook or type 'floyd run' into the workspace terminal. This will begin to train the model on the sample dataset.

# Usage

Two text files containing parallel sentences (seperated by '\n' characters) in two languages are required to train the model. See an example of this in the data/ folder (french.txt and english.txt).

To begin training, run this code:
```
python train.py -src_data path/lang1.txt -trg_data path/lang2.txt -src_lang lang1 -trg_lang lang2
```
The spacy tokenizer is used to tokenize the text, hence only languages supported by spacy are supported by this program. The languages supported by Spacy and their codes are:

English : 'en' 
French : 'fr' 
Portugese : 'pt' 
Italian : 'it' 
Dutch : 'nl' 
Spanish : 'es' 
German : 'de'

For example, to train tan English->French translator on the datasets provided in the data folder, you would run the following:
```
python train.py -src_data data/english.txt -trg_data data/french.txt -src_lang en -trg_lang fr
```
Additional parameters: 
-epochs : how many epochs to train data for (default=2) 
-batch_size : measured as number of tokens fed to model in each iteration (default=1500) 
-n_layers : how many layers to have in Transformer model (default=6) 
-heads : how many heads to split into for multi-headed attention (default=8) 
-no_cuda : adding this will disable cuda, and run model on cpu 
-SGDR : adding this will implement stochastic gradient descent with restarts, using cosine annealing 
-d_model : dimension of embedding vector and layers (default=512) 
-dropout' : decide how big dropout will be (default=0.1) 
-printevery : how many iterations run before printing (default=100) 
-lr : learning rate (default=0.0001) 
-load_weights : if loading pretrained weights, put path to folder where previous weights and pickles were saved 
-max_strlen : sentenced with more words will not be included in dataset (default=80) 
-checkpoint : enter a number of minutes. Model's weights will then be saved every this many minutes to folder 'weights/' 
# Training and Translating

```
python train.py -src_data data/english.txt -trg_data data/french.txt -src_lang en -trg_lang fr -epochs 10
```
This code gave the following results on a K100 GPU with 8bg RAM:

After saving the results to folder 'weights', the model can then be tested:
```
python translate.py -load_weights weights
```

So with a small dataset of 150,000 sentences and 1 hour of training, already some quite good results...

# Features still to add

- create validation set and get validation scores each epoch
- function to show translations of sentences from training and validation sets
