Preparing the data for training

In this exercise, you will continue to prepare the data to train the model. After creating the arrays of sentences and next characters, you need to transform them to numerical values that can be used on the model.

This step is necessary because the RNN models expect numbers only and not strings. You will create numerical arrays that have zeros or ones in the positions representing the characters present on the sentences. Ones (or True) represent the corresponding character is present, while zeros (or False) represent the absence of the character in that position of the sentence.

The variables sentences, next_char, n_vocab, chars_window, num_seqs (number of sentences in the training data) are already loaded in the environment, as well as numpy as np.

Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) for Language Modeling with Keras

Övningsinstruktioner

Instantiate a np.array() with zeros and shape (number of sentences, characters window, vocabulary size).
Use the dictionary char_to_index to set the position of the current char to 1.
Set the current next character to 1.
Print the first position of each array.

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.

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.
