NMT example

This exercise aims to build on the sneak peek you got of NMT at the beginning of the course. You will continue to translate Portuguese small phrases into English.

Some sample sentences are available on the sentences variable and are printed on the console.

Also, a pre-trained model is available on the model variable and you will use two custom functions to simplify some steps:

encode_sequences(): Change texts into sequence of numerical indexes and pad them.
translate_many(): Uses the pre-trained model to translate a list of sentences from Portuguese into English. Later you will code this function yourself.

For more details on the functions, use help(). The package pandas is loaded as pd.

Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) for Language Modeling with Keras

Exercise instructions

Use the encode_sequences() function to pre-process the texts and save the results in the X variable.
Translate the sentences using the translate_many() function by passing X as a parameter.
Create a pd.DataFrame() with the original and translated lists as columns.
Print the data frame.

Hands-on interactive exercise

Have a go at this exercise by completing this sample code.

# Transform text into sequence of indexes and pad
X = ____(sentences)

# Print the sequences of indexes
print(X)

# Translate the sentences
translated = translate_many(model, ____)

# Create pandas DataFrame with original and translated
df = pd.DataFrame({'Original': ____, 'Translated': ____})

# Print the DataFrame

In this chapter, you will learn the foundations of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN). Starting with some prerequisites, continuing to understanding how information flows through the network and finally seeing how to implement such models with Keras in the sentiment classification task.

Exercise 1: Introduction to the course Exercise 2: Comparing the number of parameter of RNN and ANN Exercise 3: Sentiment analysis Exercise 4: Sequence to sequence models Exercise 5: Introduction to language models Exercise 6: Getting used to text data Exercise 7: Preparing text data for model input Exercise 8: Transforming new text Exercise 9: Introduction to RNN inside Keras Exercise 10: Keras models Exercise 11: Keras preprocessing Exercise 12: Your first RNN model

You will learn about the vanishing and exploding gradient problems, often occurring in RNNs, and how to deal with them with the GRU and LSTM cells. Furthermore, you'll create embedding layers for language models and revisit the sentiment classification task.

Next, in this chapter you will learn how to prepare data for the multi-class classification task, as well as the differences between multi-class classification and binary classification (sentiment analysis). Finally, you will learn how to create models and measure their performance with Keras.

Exercise 1: Data pre-processing Exercise 2: Prepare label vectors Exercise 3: Pre-process data Exercise 4: Transfer learning for language models Exercise 5: Transfer learning starting point Exercise 6: Word2Vec Exercise 7: Multi-class classification models Exercise 8: Exploring 20 News Groups dataset Exercise 9: Classifying news articles Exercise 10: Assessing the model's performance Exercise 11: Precision-Recall trade-off Exercise 12: Precision or Recall, that is the question Exercise 13: Performance on multi-class classification

This chapter introduces you to two applications of RNN models: Text Generation and Neural Machine Translation. You will learn how to prepare the text data to the format needed by the models. The Text Generation model is used for replicating a character's way of speech and will have some fun mimicking Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory. Neural Machine Translation is used for example by Google Translate in a much more complex model. In this chapter, you will create a model that translates Portuguese small phrases into English.
