Seq2Seq Pytorch

Seq2Seq Pytorch is a public Python repository of PyTorch implementations of recurrent sequence-to-sequence models, including vanilla and attention-based encoder-decoders and an experimental sequence-to-sequence autoencoder.

Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when you need reference PyTorch implementations of recurrent sequence-to-sequence architectures and want to study or adapt their translation and attention designs.

Who it is for

  • Developers studying or adapting recurrent encoder-decoder models in PyTorch.
  • Researchers comparing attention mechanisms for sequence translation.
  • Practitioners exploring sequence encoding and reconstruction with experimental autoencoders.

Documented uses

  • Inspect a vanilla recurrent encoder-decoder implementation for sequence translation.
  • Compare standard attention with a faster dot-product attention variant.
  • Configure and run the documented English-to-French translation example.
  • Explore an experimental sequence-to-sequence autoencoder.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository is public and identifies its license as WTFPL. Its README says the documented run requires a GPU.

  • The documented run uses a GPU; the README does not describe a CPU path.
  • The fast dot-product attention variant computes attention after decoder processing and is described as incurring a minor performance cost relative to the other attention approach.
  • The English-to-French example reports greedy decoding and results on WMT14 data.
  • The autoencoder implementation is explicitly experimental.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Configure and start the translation script

Prepare the documented configuration-based run for the repository’s sequence-to-sequence code.

Before you start

  • A GPU, as the README states the code only runs on a GPU for now.
  • A configuration file to edit.
  • Python and PyTorch implementations in the repository.

Steps

  1. Edit the configuration file for the run.

  2. Execute the command below.

    Documented command
    python nmt.py --config

  3. Use the script’s greedy decoding path described in the README for the translation example.

Expected outcome

Starts the documented model run using the selected configuration; the README describes greedy decoding for English-to-French translation.

Guide limitations

  • The instructions do not specify configuration fields or dataset setup details.
  • The README says GPU execution is required.
  • Sequence-to-sequence autoencoders are marked experimental.
