Neural machine translation between the writings of Shakespeare and modern English using TensorFlow

Last update: Dec 28, 2022

Overview

Shakespeare translations using TensorFlow

This is an example of using the new Google's TensorFlow library on monolingual translation going from modern English to Shakespeare based on research from Wei Xu.

Prepare

First download the TensorFlow library depending on your platform:

pip install https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/tensorflow-0.5.0-py2-none-any.whl # for mac
pip install https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/linux/cpu/tensorflow-0.5.0-cp27-none-linux_x86_64.whl # for ubuntu

Grabs parallel data.
Gets train, dev split.
Builds vocabulary
Converts parallel data into ids

From the root directory:

python -m tensorshake.get_data
python -m tensorshake.prepare_corpus

Delete /cache to start anew.

Train

Use the example BASH script to train the model. This saves the check points in the --train_dir directory. If you run it again, the training process continues from the check point. To restart with fresh parameters, simply delete/rename the check points.

./run.sh

Results

Benchmarks from original paper. (Shakespeare -> Modern English)

Input	Output
i will bite thee by the ear for that jest .	i ’ ll bite you by the ear for that joke .
what further woe conspires against mine age ?	what ’ s true despair conspires against my old age ?
how doth my lady ?	how is my lady ?
hast thou slain tybalt ?	have you killed tybalt ?
an i might live to see thee married once , i have my wish .	if i could live to see you married, i ’ ve my wish .
benvolio , who began this bloody fray ?	benvolio , who started this bloody fight itself ?
what is your will ?	what do you want ?
call her forth to me .	bring her out to me .
