Blocks examples

===============

This repository contains a series of scripts, examples, models, etc. that can

serve as a guide or inspiration when getting started with Blocks. To get started

simply clone this repository and hack away at the scripts provided.

.. code-block:: bash

   $ git clone [email protected]:mila-udem/blocks-examples.git

Running the examples

---------------------

To pick the simplest example first, one this repository has been downloaded, 

``cd`` into it, and ::

    python -m sqrt --num-batches 1000 sqrt/saved_state

Technical Note

................

Executing this command line will run the code in the ``sqrt`` 

module : specifically the command-line argument parser in 

the ``sqrt/__main__.py`` file.  Having the main entry point here is 

mostly a quirk of the Python module system - we wanted to keep the 

launching command as simple as possible.

Understanding the examples

---------------------------

The entry point of each example is ``main()`` function in ``EXAMPLE-NAME/__init__.py``.

We're currently working on getting better documentation coverage of the 

examples, and GitHub will helpfully display the contents of each 

folder's ``README`` file.

There's also certainly useful information in the ``blocks`` and ``fuel`` 

documentation :

* `Blocks documentation `_

* `Fuel documentation `_

Examples of projects using Blocks

---------------------------------

We host only standard and relatively compact examples here. For more

advanced and real-world examples see the following project, all of which heavily use 

Blocks:

* `Character-level RNN `_

* `DRAW model `_

* `Speech recognition `_

* `Deep character-level neural machine translation `_
