Simple Word-based Language Model in PyTorch

This model is directly analagous to this Tesnsorflow's LM. In fact, the reader is directly taken from its older version

See this blogpost.

How to RUN:

python ptb-lm.py --data=[PATH_TO_DATA]

Default params should result in Test perplexity of ~78.04. Your actual result will vary due to random initialization. This basically matches results from TF's tutorial, only faster.

On GTX 1080 I am getting around 7,400 wps.

Files

• lm.py - language model description
• reader.py - slightly older version of TF's PTB reader which yields numpy arrays as batches
• ptb-lm.py - driver script

Requirements

• Python 3 (I used Anaconda distribution)
• PyTorch (I used 0.1.12)
