Machine Learning with TensorFlow 1.x

Training day

The crux of our effort will be the training, which is shown in the second file we encountered earlier—translate.py. The prepare_wmt_dataset function we reviewed earlier is, of course, the starting point as it creates our two datasets and tokenizes them into nice clean numbers.

The training starts as follows:

After preparing the data, we will create a TensorFlow session, as usual, and construct our model. We'll get to the model later; for now, let's look at our preparation and training loop.

We will define a dev set and a training set later, but for now, we will define a scale that is a floating point score ranging from 0 to 1. ...
