Assignment #2: Deep and Recurrent Neural Networks


Due Date: 5/5 (Thu) 11:59 PM PST.
In this assignment you will learn how to use TensorFlow to solve problems in NLP. In
particular, you'll use TensorFlow to implement feed-forward neural networks and
recurrent neural networks (RNNs), and apply them to the tasks of Named Entity
Recognition (NER) and Language Modeling (LM).
As with Assignment #1, you're limited to a maximum of three late days on this
assigment. Don't forget that the in-class midterm is scheduled for May 10, so we
recommend starting this one early!

Setup
Note: Please be sure you have Python 2.7.x installed on your system. The following
instructions should work on Mac or Linux. If you have any trouble getting set up, please
come to office hours and the TAs will be happy to help.
Get the code (updated!): Download the starter code here and the assignment handout
here..
Python package requirements: The core requirements for this assignment are
tensorflow
numpy
If you have a recent linux (Ubuntu 14.04 and later) install or Mac OS X, the default
TensorFlow installation directions will work well for you. If not, we recommend using
the installation on the corn clusters. Note that you will need to use the system default
python, not a local Anaconda python.
The corn clusters don't provide GPU support. If you'd like to use GPUs, we recommend
using AWS. We've put together a brief tutorial with directions on how to get started with
TensorFlow on AWS.

Submitting your work


Once you are done working, run the collectSubmission.sh script; this will produce
a file called assignment2.zip. Rename this file to <your-sunet-id>.zip, for
instance if your stanford email is [email protected], your file name should be
jdoe.zip

For the written component, please upload a PDF file of your solutions to Gradescope. If
you are enrolled in the class you should have been signed up automatically. If you
added the class late or are not signed up, post privately to Piazza and we will add you to
the roster. When asked to map question parts to your PDF, please map the parts
accordingly as courtesy to your TAs. This is crucial so that we can provide accurate
feedback. If a question has no written component (completely programatic), map it on
the same page as the previous section or next section.
Please upload your programming submission below.

components. The assignment is designed to be completed in order as later sections will


leverage solutions to earlier parts. We recommend reading the assignment carefully
and starting early as some parts may take significant time to run.

Q1: TensorFlow Softmax (20 points)


Q2: TensorFlow NER Window Model (35 points)
Q3: TensorFlow RNN Language Model (45 points)
