The Statistical Recurrent Unit

• authors: Junier B. Oliva, Barnabas Poczos, Jeff Schneider
• arxiv: https://arxiv.org/abs/1703.00381
• Pytorch implemention of the experiment of SRU with pixel-by-pixel sequential MNIST.
• Powered by DL HACKS

Requirements

• environment: python3.5
• pytorch 0.2.0
• hyperopt 0.1
• numpy 1.13.1
• scikit-learn 0.18.2

Implement

• python main.py sru: trainning RNNs with fixed parameters.
• python tune_params.py sru : tuning hyper parameters with hyperopt.
• Choose your model from [sru, gru, lstm]
• If you need more information, please run python tune_params.py --help.

notes

• I choose Adam for optimization, though SGD is used in the paper. (It might converge faster)
• weight_decay is used. (The paper doesn't refer to it)
