+# Memory Network  
+
+## Introduction ##
+This demo provides a simple example usage of the external memory in a way similar to the Neural Turing Machine (NTM) with content based addressing and differentiable read and write head.
+For more technical details, please refer to the [NTM paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1410.5401).
+
+## Task Description ##
+Here we design a simple task for illustration purpose. The input is a sequence with variable number of zeros followed with a variable number of non-zero elements, e.g., [0, 0, 0, 3, 1, 5, ...]. The task is to memorize the first non-zero number (e.g., 3) and to output this number in the end after going through the whole sequence. 
+
+## Folder Structure ##
+* external_memory.py: the implementation of the external memory class. 
+* external_memory_example.conf: example usage of the external memory class.
+* data_provider_mem.py: generates the training and testing data for the example.
+* train.sh and test.sh: the scripts to run training and testing.
+
+## How to Run ##
+* training: ./train.sh
+* testing: ./test.sh
+
