Repository Details

Sequence-to-Sequence Framework in PyTorch

nmtpytorch

License: MIT Python 3.7

Note

This project is not actively maintained so issues created are unlikely to be addressed in a timely way. If you are interested, there's a recent fork of this repository called pysimt which includes Transformer-based architectures as well.

Overview

nmtpytorch allows training of various end-to-end neural architectures including but not limited to neural machine translation, image captioning and automatic speech recognition systems. The initial codebase was in Theano and was inspired from the famous dl4mt-tutorial codebase.

nmtpytorch received valuable contributions from the Grounded Sequence-to-sequence Transduction Team of Frederick Jelinek Memorial Summer Workshop 2018:

Loic Barrault, Ozan Caglayan, Amanda Duarte, Desmond Elliott, Spandana Gella, Nils Holzenberger, Chirag Lala, Jasmine (Sun Jae) Lee, Jindřich Libovický, Pranava Madhyastha, Florian Metze, Karl Mulligan, Alissa Ostapenko, Shruti Palaskar, Ramon Sanabria, Lucia Specia and Josiah Wang.

Installation

You may want to install NVIDIA's Apex extensions. As of February 2020, we only monkey-patched nn.LayerNorm with Apex' one if the library is installed and found.

pip

You can install nmtpytorch from PyPI using pip (or pip3 depending on your operating system and environment):

$ pip install nmtpytorch

conda

We provide an environment.yml file in the repository that you can use to create a ready-to-use anaconda environment for nmtpytorch:

$ conda update --all
$ git clone https://github.com/lium-lst/nmtpytorch.git
$ conda env create -f nmtpytorch/environment.yml

IMPORTANT: After installing nmtpytorch, you need to run nmtpy-install-extra to download METEOR related files into your ${HOME}/.nmtpy folder. This step is only required once.

Development Mode

For continuous development and testing, it is sufficient to run python setup.py develop in the root folder of your GIT checkout. From now on, all modifications to the source tree are directly taken into account without requiring reinstallation.

Documentation

We currently only provide some preliminary documentation in our wiki.
