\section{Theano}
\begin{frame}
  \tableofcontents[currentsection]
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Description}

  High-level domain-specific language for numeric computation.

  \begin{itemize}
    \item Syntax as close to NumPy as possible
    \item Compiles most common expressions to C for CPU and/or GPU
    \item Limited expressivity means more opportunities optimizations
    \begin{itemize}
      \item No subroutines -> global optimization
      \item Strongly typed -> compiles to C
      \item Array oriented -> easy parallelism
      \item Support for looping and branching in expressions
    \end{itemize}
    \item Automatic speed and stability optimizations
    \item Can reuse other technologies for best performance.
    \begin{itemize}
      \item BLAS, SciPy, Cython, Numba, PyCUDA, CUDA, ...
    \end{itemize}
    \item Automatic differentiation and R op
    \item Sparse matrices (CPU only)
    \item Extensive unit-testing and self-verification
    \item Works on Linux, OS X and Windows
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}



%% \begin{frame}{Why scripting for GPUs?}
%%   \begin{bf}They complement each other\end{bf}

%%   GPUs are everything that high level languages are not

%%   \begin{itemize}
%%     \item Highly parallel
%%     \item Very architecture-sensitive
%%     \item Built for maximum FP/memory throughput
%%     \item So hard to program that meta-programming is easier
%%   \end{itemize}

%%   \begin{bf}Best of both worlds:\end{bf} easily scripted code which invokes high-performance GPU kernels.

%%   \begin{bf}Theano C code generation removes overhead\end{bf} of
%%   function calls between Python and C by launching many C functions at once.

  \item theano.function
  \item shared variables and updates

\begin{lstlisting}
>>> from theano import tensor as T

>>> # Call it with NUMERICAL values
>>> # Get a NUMERICAL output
>>> f(1., 2.)
array(3.0)
\end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Shared variables}
  \begin{itemize}
  \item It’s hard to do much with purely functional programming
  \item ``shared variables'' add just a little bit of imperative programming
  \item A “shared variable” is a buffer that stores a numerical value for a Theano variable
  \item Can write to as many shared variables as you want, once each, at the end of the function
  \item  Modify outside Theano function with get\_value() and set\_value() methods.
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{Shared variable example}

\lstset{language=Python,
        commentstyle=\itshape\color{blue},
        stringstyle=\color{violet},
        }
\begin{lstlisting}
>>> from theano import shared
>>> x = shared(0.)
>>> from theano.compat.python2x import OrderedDict
>>> updates = OrderedDict()
>>> updates[x] = x + 1
>>> f = function([], updates=updates)
>>> f()
>>> x.get_value()
1.0
>>> x.set_value(100.)
>>> f()
>>> x.get_value()
101.0
\end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Which dict?}
  \begin{itemize}
  \item Use theano.compat.python2x.OrderedDict
  \item Not collections.OrderedDict
  \begin{itemize}
  \item This isn’t available in older versions of python
  \end{itemize}
  \item Not \{\} aka dict
  \begin{itemize}
  \item The iteration order of this built-in class is not
    deterministic (thanks, Python!) so if Theano
    accepted this, the same script could compile
    different C programs each time you run it
  \end{itemize}
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Compilation modes}
  \begin{itemize}
  \item Can compile in different modes to get different kinds of programs
  \item Can specify these modes very precisely with arguments to theano.function
  \item Can use a few quick presets with environment variable flags
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Example preset compilation modes}
  \begin{itemize}
  \item FAST\_RUN: default. Fastest execution, slowest compilation
  \item FAST\_COMPILE: Fastest compilation, slowest execution. No C code.
  \item DEBUG\_MODE: Adds lots of checks.
Raises error messages in situations other
modes regard as fine.
  \item optimizer=fast\_compile: as mode=FAST\_COMPILE, but with C code.
  \item theano.function(..., mode=``FAST\_COMPILE'')
  \item THEANO\_FLAGS=mode=FAST\_COMPILE python script.py
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Compilation for GPU}
  \begin{itemize}
  \item Theano current back-end only supports 32 bit on GPU
  \item libgpuarray (new-backend) support all dtype
  \item CUDA supports 64 bit, but is slow in gamer card
  \item T.fscalar, T.fvector, T.fmatrix are all 32 bit
  \item T.scalar, T.vector, T.matrix resolve to 32 bit or 64 bit depending on theano’s floatX flag
  \item floatX is float64 by default, set it to float32
  \item Set device flag to gpu (or a specific gpu, like gpu0)
  \item Flag: warn\_float64={'ignore', 'warn', 'raise', 'pdb'}
  \end{itemize}

  \frametitle{Motivation}
RNN gradient signal end up being multiplied a large number of times (as many as the number of timesteps).
This means that, the magnitude of the weights in the transition matrix can have a strong impact on the learning process.
\begin{itemize}
\item \begin{bf}vanishing gradients\end{bf}
 If the weights in this matrix are small (or, more formally, if the leading eigenvalue of the weight matrix is smaller than 1.0).
\item \begin{bf}exploding gradients\end{bf} If the weights in this matrix are large (or, again, more formally, if the leading eigenvalue of the weight matrix is larger than 1.0),

\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[allowframebreaks]
  \frametitle{LSTM math}
The equations on the next slide describe how a layer of memory cells is updated at every timestep t.

In these equations :

% 'm' has no special meaning here except being a size reference for the length of the label (and the spacing before the descriptions
\begin{description}[m]
\item[$x_t$] \hfill \\
is the input to the memory cell layer at time t
\item[$W_i$, $W_f$, $W_c$, $W_o$, $U_i$, $U_f$, $U_c$, $U_o$ and $V_o$] \hfill \\
 are weight matrices
\item[$b_i$, $b_f$, $b_c$ and $b_o$] \hfill \\
are bias vectors
\end{description}

\framebreak

First, we compute the values for $i_t$, the input gate, and $\widetilde{C_t}$ the candidate value for the states of the memory cells at time t :

\begin{equation}
i_t = \sigma(W_i x_t + U_i h_{t-1} + b_i)
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
\widetilde{C_t} = tanh(W_c x_t + U_c h_{t-1} + b_c)
\end{equation}

Second, we compute the value for $f_t$, the activation of the memory cells’ forget gates at time t :

\begin{equation}
f_t = \sigma(W_f x_t + U_f h_{t-1} + b_f)
\end{equation}

\framebreak

Given the value of the input gate activation $i_t$, the forget gate activation $f_t$ and the candidate state value $\widetilde{C_t}$, we can compute $C_t$ the memory cells’ new state at time $t$ :

\begin{equation}
C_t = i_t * \widetilde{C_t} + f_t * C_{t-1}
\end{equation}

With the new state of the memory cells, we can compute the value of their output gates and, subsequently, their outputs :

\begin{equation}
o_t = \sigma(W_o x_t + U_o h_{t-1} + V_o C_t + b_1)
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
h_t = o_t * tanh(C_t)
\end{equation}

\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{Tutorial LSTM}
The model we used in this tutorial is a variation of the standard LSTM model. In this variant, the activation of a cell’s output gate does not depend on the memory cell’s state $C_t$. This allows us to perform part of the computation more efficiently (see the implementation note, below, for details). This means that, in the variant we have implemented, there is no matrix $V_o$ and equation (5) is replaced by equation (7) :

\begin{equation}
o_t = \sigma(W_o x_t + U_o h_{t-1} + b_1)
\end{equation}

\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{Implementation Note}
Implementation note : In the code included this tutorial, the equations (1), (2), (3) and (7) are performed in parallel to make the computation more efficient. This is possible because none of these equations rely on a result produced by the other ones. It is achieved by concatenating the four matrices $W_*$ into a single weight matrix W and performing the same concatenation on the weight matrices $U_*$ to produce the matrix U and the bias vectors $b_*$ to produce the vector b. Then, the pre-nonlinearity activations can be computed with :
\vspace{-1em}
\begin{equation*}
z = \sigma(W x_t + U h_{t-1} + b)
\end{equation*}
\vspace{-2em} % don't remove the blank line

The result is then sliced to obtain the pre-nonlinearity activations for i, f, $\widetilde{C_t}$, and o and the non-linearities are then applied independently for each.
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{LSTM Tips For Training}
\begin{itemize}
\item Do not use SGD, but use something like adagrad or rmsprop.
\item Initialize any recurrent weights as orthogonal matrices (orth\_weights). This helps optimization.
\item Take out any operation that does not have to be inside "scan".
      Theano does many cases, but not all.
\item Rescale (clip) the L2 norm of the gradient, if necessary.
\item You can use weight noise or dropout at the output of the recurrent layer for regularization.
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\section{Exercices}
\begin{frame}{Exercices}
\begin{itemize}
  \item Theano exercice: Work through the ``0[1-4]*'' directory exercices:

    Available at ``git~clone~https://github.com/abergeron/ccw\_tutorial\_theano.git''.

  \item Scan exercices: \url{http://deeplearning.net/software/theano/tutorial/loop.html\#exercise}

  \item Modif LSTM: Add the V\_o parameter and use it.
  \item Modif LSTM: Reverse the input sequence and try it like that:
        Sutskever-NIPS2014 (No solutions provided)
  \item Modif LSTM: Add to have 2 LSTM layers. The new one take the
    input in the reverse order. Then you concatenate the mean of the
    outputs of both LSTM to the logistic regression. (No solutions provided)
