(Character-Aware Neural Language Models
Tensorflow implementation of Character-Aware Neural Language Models. The original code of author can be found here.
This implementation contains:
- Word-level and Character-level Convolutional Neural Network
- Highway Network
- Recurrent Neural Network Language Model
The current implementation has a performance issue. See #3.
Prerequisites
- Python 2.7 or Python 3.3+
- Tensorflow
Usage
To train a model with ptb dataset:
$ python main.py --dataset ptb
To test an existing model:
$ python main.py --dataset ptb --forward_only True
To see all training options, run:
$ python main.py --help
which will print
