Introduction

Strctured data as inputs are once commonly expected to go through the strctured embedding neural functions, while in this repository we try to demonstrate the efficiency simply by re-arranging the structure of input data themselves. Plus, contradictory to the conventional impression that sequence to sequence pipelines were highly dependent on recurrent neural networks, our model makes a step by only adopting lite attention-based neural networks. We will see how it works here.

Dependency

• PyTorch >= 1.2.0

Methodology

• 1. Instead of taking the input as dependency-parsed data, this model flattens the input item as a sentence consists of multiple phrases.

In the input sentence, we chain it up as a list of triples, tokenized and masked by SOS_token and EOS_token:

"互联网  advmod  将 [SOS_token]  专  amod  唯一  [SOS_token]  顶级  amod  全新 [SOS_token]  ...  为  top  专  [EOS_token]"

And the target output is expected as a list of tokens, where the punctuations serve as the segmentation marks for the origine sentences:

"[MASKED]", "MOBI", "域名", "是", "全球", "唯一", "专", "为", ..., "[MASKED]", "是", "为", "ICANN", "批准", "的", "全新", "国际", "顶级", "域名", "[MASKED]", "其", "致力", "于", "将", ..., "移动设备", "上", "[MASKED]"

• 2. Without traditional recurrence mechanism (i.e. recurrent neural networks), we leverage the attention mechanisms to optimize the prediction function between the input distribution and the target distribution:

We use the general design of attention layer from the paper Attention Is All You Need [1], denoting the $Key$, $Value$, and$Query$ in the original algorithm as $K$ ,$V$, and$Q$, then the attention layer is defined as

Then we build the multi-head attention function as follows, the $concat$ is the function to concatenate the tensors,

Recently, the initial training stage (43 batches) is displayed as the plotting below, where denotes the loss values:

Comparison

It's feasible and suitable to use Tree-LSTM [2] or Tree-based CNN [3] for the ablation study on how the different layer structures impact on the encoding part through the whole optimization process, and we can better find baseline from them.
