This tutorial demonstrates how to generate text using a character-based RNN. You will work with a dataset of Shakespeare's writing from Andrej Karpathy's The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Recurrent Neural Networks. Given a sequence of characters from this data ("Shakespear"), train a model to predict the next character in the sequence ("e"). Longer sequences of text can be generated by calling the model repeatedly.
This tutorial includes runnable code implemented using tf.keras and eager execution. The following is sample output when the model in this tutorial trained for 30 epochs, and started with the prompt "Q":
QUEENE: I had thought thou hadst a Roman; for the oracle, Thus by All bids the man against the word, Which are so weak of care, by old care done; Your children were in your holy love, And the precipitation through the bleeding throne. BISHOP OF ELY: Marry, and will, my lord, to weep in such a one were prettiest; Yet now I was adopted heir Of the world's lamentable day, To watch the next way with his father with his face? ESCALUS: The cause why then we are all resolved more sons. VOLUMNIA: O, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it is no sin it should be dead, And love and pale as any will to that word. QUEEN ELIZABETH: But how long have I heard the soul for this world, And show his hands of life be proved to stand. PETRUCHIO: I say he look'd on, if I must be content To stay him from the fatal of our country's bliss. His lordship pluck'd from this sentence then for prey, And then let us twain, being the moon, were she such a case as fills m
While some of the sentences are grammatical, most do not make sense. The model has not learned the meaning of words, but consider:
The model is character-based. When training started, the model did not know how to spell an English word, or that words were even a unit of text.
The structure of the output resembles a play—blocks of text generally begin with a speaker name, in all capital letters similar to the dataset.
As demonstrated below, the model is trained on small batches of text (100 characters each), and is still able to generate a longer sequence of text with coherent structure.
Setup
Import TensorFlow and other libraries
import tensorflow as tf
from tensorflow.keras.layers.experimental import preprocessing
import numpy as np
import os
import time
Download the Shakespeare dataset
Change the following line to run this code on your own data.
path_to_file = tf.keras.utils.get_file('shakespeare.txt', 'https://storage.googleapis.com/download.tensorflow.org/data/shakespeare.txt')
Downloading data from https://storage.googleapis.com/download.tensorflow.org/data/shakespeare.txt 1122304/1115394 [==============================] - 0s 0us/step
Read the data
First, look in the text:
# Read, then decode for py2 compat.
text = open(path_to_file, 'rb').read().decode(encoding='utf-8')
# length of text is the number of characters in it
print('Length of text: {} characters'.format(len(text)))
Length of text: 1115394 characters
# Take a look at the first 250 characters in text
print(text[:250])
First Citizen: Before we proceed any further, hear me speak. All: Speak, speak. First Citizen: You are all resolved rather to die than to famish? All: Resolved. resolved. First Citizen: First, you know Caius Marcius is chief enemy to the people.
# The unique characters in the file
vocab = sorted(set(text))
print('{} unique characters'.format(len(vocab)))
65 unique characters
Process the text
Vectorize the text
Before training, you need to convert the strings to a numerical representation.
The preprocessing.StringLookup layer can convert each character into a numeric ID. It just needs the text to be split into tokens first.
example_texts = ['abcdefg', 'xyz']
chars = tf.strings.unicode_split(example_texts, input_encoding='UTF-8')
chars
<tf.RaggedTensor [[b'a', b'b', b'c', b'd', b'e', b'f', b'g'], [b'x', b'y', b'z']]>
Now create the preprocessing.StringLookup layer:
ids_from_chars = preprocessing.StringLookup(
vocabulary=list(vocab))
It converts form tokens to character IDs, padding with 0:
ids = ids_from_chars(chars)
ids
<tf.RaggedTensor [[41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47], [64, 65, 66]]>
Since the goal of this tutorial is to generate text, it will also be important to invert this representation and recover human-readable strings from it. For this you can use preprocessing.StringLookup(..., invert=True).
chars_from_ids = tf.keras.layers.experimental.preprocessing.StringLookup(
vocabulary=ids_from_chars.get_vocabulary(), invert=True)
This layer recovers the characters from the vectors of IDs, and returns them as a tf.RaggedTensor of characters:
chars = chars_from_ids(ids)
chars
<tf.RaggedTensor [[b'a', b'b', b'c', b'd', b'e', b'f', b'g'], [b'x', b'y', b'z']]>
You can tf.strings.reduce_join to join the characters back into strings.
tf.strings.reduce_join(chars, axis=-1).numpy()
array([b'abcdefg', b'xyz'], dtype=object)
def text_from_ids(ids):
return tf.strings.reduce_join(chars_from_ids(ids), axis=-1)
The prediction task
Given a character, or a sequence of characters, what is the most probable next character? This is the task you're training the model to perform. The input to the model will be a sequence of characters, and you train the model to predict the output—the following character at each time step.
Since RNNs maintain an internal state that depends on the previously seen elements, given all the characters computed until this moment, what is the next character?
Create training examples and targets
Next divide the text into example sequences. Each input sequence will contain seq_length characters from the text.
For each input sequence, the corresponding targets contain the same length of text, except shifted one character to the right.
So break the text into chunks of seq_length+1. For example, say seq_length is 4 and our text is "Hello". The input sequence would be "Hell", and the target sequence "ello".
To do this first use the tf.data.Dataset.from_tensor_slices function to convert the text vector into a stream of character indices.
all_ids = ids_from_chars(tf.strings.unicode_split(text, 'UTF-8'))
all_ids
<tf.Tensor: shape=(1115394,), dtype=int64, numpy=array([20, 49, 58, ..., 47, 10, 2])>
ids_dataset = tf.data.Dataset.from_tensor_slices(all_ids)
for ids in ids_dataset.take(10):
print(chars_from_ids(ids).numpy().decode('utf-8'))
F i r s t C i t i
seq_length = 100
examples_per_epoch = len(text)//(seq_length+1)
The batch method lets you easily convert these individual characters to sequences of the desired size.
sequences = ids_dataset.batch(seq_length+1, drop_remainder=True)
for seq in sequences.take(1):
print(chars_from_ids(seq))
tf.Tensor( [b'F' b'i' b'r' b's' b't' b' ' b'C' b'i' b't' b'i' b'z' b'e' b'n' b':' b'\n' b'B' b'e' b'f' b'o' b'r' b'e' b' ' b'w' b'e' b' ' b'p' b'r' b'o' b'c' b'e' b'e' b'd' b' ' b'a' b'n' b'y' b' ' b'f' b'u' b'r' b't' b'h' b'e' b'r' b',' b' ' b'h' b'e' b'a' b'r' b' ' b'm' b'e' b' ' b's' b'p' b'e' b'a' b'k' b'.' b'\n' b'\n' b'A' b'l' b'l' b':' b'\n' b'S' b'p' b'e' b'a' b'k' b',' b' ' b's' b'p' b'e' b'a' b'k' b'.' b'\n' b'\n' b'F' b'i' b'r' b's' b't' b' ' b'C' b'i' b't' b'i' b'z' b'e' b'n' b':' b'\n' b'Y' b'o' b'u' b' '], shape=(101,), dtype=string)
It's easier to see what this is doing if you join the tokens back into strings:
for seq in sequences.take(5):
print(text_from_ids(seq).numpy())
b'First Citizen:\nBefore we proceed any further, hear me speak.\n\nAll:\nSpeak, speak.\n\nFirst Citizen:\nYou ' b'are all resolved rather to die than to famish?\n\nAll:\nResolved. resolved.\n\nFirst Citizen:\nFirst, you k' b"now Caius Marcius is chief enemy to the people.\n\nAll:\nWe know't, we know't.\n\nFirst Citizen:\nLet us ki" b"ll him, and we'll have corn at our own price.\nIs't a verdict?\n\nAll:\nNo more talking on't; let it be d" b'one: away, away!\n\nSecond Citizen:\nOne word, good citizens.\n\nFirst Citizen:\nWe are accounted poor citi'
For training you'll need a dataset of (input, label) pairs. Where input and
label are sequences. At each time step the input is the current character and the label is the next character.
Here's a function that takes a sequence as input, duplicates, and shifts it to align the input and label for each timestep:
def split_input_target(sequence):
input_text = sequence[:-1]
target_text = sequence[1:]
return input_text, target_text
split_input_target(list("Tensorflow"))
(['T', 'e', 'n', 's', 'o', 'r', 'f', 'l', 'o'], ['e', 'n', 's', 'o', 'r', 'f', 'l', 'o', 'w'])
dataset = sequences.map(split_input_target)
for input_example, target_example in dataset.take(1):
print("Input :", text_from_ids(input_example).numpy())
print("Target:", text_from_ids(target_example).numpy())
Input : b'First Citizen:\nBefore we proceed any further, hear me speak.\n\nAll:\nSpeak, speak.\n\nFirst Citizen:\nYou' Target: b'irst Citizen:\nBefore we proceed any further, hear me speak.\n\nAll:\nSpeak, speak.\n\nFirst Citizen:\nYou '
Create training batches
You used tf.data to split the text into manageable sequences. But before feeding this data into the model, you need to shuffle the data and pack it into batches.
# Batch size
BATCH_SIZE = 64
# Buffer size to shuffle the dataset
# (TF data is designed to work with possibly infinite sequences,
# so it doesn't attempt to shuffle the entire sequence in memory. Instead,
# it maintains a buffer in which it shuffles elements).
BUFFER_SIZE = 10000
dataset = (
dataset
.shuffle(BUFFER_SIZE)
.batch(BATCH_SIZE, drop_remainder=True)
.prefetch(tf.data.experimental.AUTOTUNE))
dataset
<PrefetchDataset shapes: ((64, 100), (64, 100)), types: (tf.int64, tf.int64)>
Build The Model
This section defines the model as a keras.Model subclass (For details see Making new Layers and Models via subclassing).
This model has three layers:
tf.keras.layers.Embedding: The input layer. A trainable lookup table that will map each character-ID to a vector withembedding_dimdimensions;tf.keras.layers.GRU: A type of RNN with sizeunits=rnn_units(You can also use an LSTM layer here.)tf.keras.layers.Dense: The output layer, withvocab_sizeoutputs. It outpts one logit for each character in the vocabulary. These are the log-liklihood of each character according to the model.
# Length of the vocabulary in chars
vocab_size = len(vocab)
# The embedding dimension
embedding_dim = 256
# Number of RNN units
rnn_units = 1024
class MyModel(tf.keras.Model):
def __init__(self, vocab_size, embedding_dim, rnn_units):
super().__init__(self)
self.embedding = tf.keras.layers.Embedding(vocab_size, embedding_dim)
self.gru = tf.keras.layers.GRU(rnn_units,
return_sequences=True,
return_state=True)
self.dense = tf.keras.layers.Dense(vocab_size)
def call(self, inputs, states=None, return_state=False, training=False):
x = inputs
x = self.embedding(x, training=training)
if states is None:
states = self.gru.get_initial_state(x)
x, states = self.gru(x, initial_state=states, training=training)
x = self.dense(x, training=training)
if return_state:
return x, states
else:
return x
model = MyModel(
# Be sure the vocabulary size matches the `StringLookup` layers.
vocab_size=len(ids_from_chars.get_vocabulary()),
embedding_dim=embedding_dim,
rnn_units=rnn_units)
For each character the model looks up the embedding, runs the GRU one timestep with the embedding as input, and applies the dense layer to generate logits predicting the log-likelihood of the next character:
Try the model
Now run the model to see that it behaves as expected.
First check the shape of the output:
for input_example_batch, target_example_batch in dataset.take(1):
example_batch_predictions = model(input_example_batch)
print(example_batch_predictions.shape, "# (batch_size, sequence_length, vocab_size)")
(64, 100, 67) # (batch_size, sequence_length, vocab_size)
In the above example the sequence length of the input is 100 but the model can be run on inputs of any length:
model.summary()
Model: "my_model" _________________________________________________________________ Layer (type) Output Shape Param # ================================================================= embedding (Embedding) multiple 17152 _________________________________________________________________ gru (GRU) multiple 3938304 _________________________________________________________________ dense (Dense) multiple 68675 ================================================================= Total params: 4,024,131 Trainable params: 4,024,131 Non-trainable params: 0 _________________________________________________________________
To get actual predictions from the model you need to sample from the output distribution, to get actual character indices. This distribution is defined by the logits over the character vocabulary.
Try it for the first example in the batch:
sampled_indices = tf.random.categorical(example_batch_predictions[0], num_samples=1)
sampled_indices = tf.squeeze(sampled_indices,axis=-1).numpy()
This gives us, at each timestep, a prediction of the next character index:
sampled_indices
array([ 7, 57, 47, 49, 4, 11, 33, 22, 23, 45, 26, 4, 16, 40, 53, 32, 27,
6, 42, 11, 43, 50, 25, 13, 52, 37, 5, 3, 35, 50, 21, 18, 26, 55,
23, 30, 6, 49, 25, 52, 11, 45, 61, 6, 52, 42, 15, 57, 40, 31, 61,
18, 52, 18, 57, 15, 8, 17, 24, 34, 58, 57, 34, 50, 64, 53, 23, 52,
56, 26, 1, 63, 35, 35, 46, 57, 24, 35, 20, 49, 31, 15, 11, 52, 41,
20, 45, 44, 50, 48, 59, 60, 46, 3, 5, 48, 28, 4, 64, 57])
Decode these to see the text predicted by this untrained model:
print("Input:\n", text_from_ids(input_example_batch[0]).numpy())
print()
print("Next Char Predictions:\n", text_from_ids(sampled_indices).numpy())
Input: b'es here?\n\nNORTHUMBERLAND:\nIt is my son, young Harry Percy,\nSent from my brother Worcester, whencesoe' Next Char Predictions: b"'qgi!3SHIeL!BZmRM&b3cjK;lW$ UjGDLoIP&iKl3eu&lbAqZQuDlDqA,CJTrqTjxmIlpL[UNK]wUUfqJUFiQA3laFedjhstf $hN!xq"
Train the model
At this point the problem can be treated as a standard classification problem. Given the previous RNN state, and the input this time step, predict the class of the next character.
Attach an optimizer, and a loss function
The standard tf.keras.losses.sparse_categorical_crossentropy loss function works in this case because it is applied across the last dimension of the predictions.
Because your model returns logits, you need to set the from_logits flag.
loss = tf.losses.SparseCategoricalCrossentropy(from_logits=True)
example_batch_loss = loss(target_example_batch, example_batch_predictions)
mean_loss = example_batch_loss.numpy().mean()
print("Prediction shape: ", example_batch_predictions.shape, " # (batch_size, sequence_length, vocab_size)")
print("Mean loss: ", mean_loss)
Prediction shape: (64, 100, 67) # (batch_size, sequence_length, vocab_size) Mean loss: 4.2050414
A newly initialized model shouldn't be too sure of itself, the output logits should all have similar magnitudes. To confirm this you can check that the exponential of the mean loss is approximately equal to the vocabulary size. A much higher loss means the model is sure of its wrong answers, and is badly initialized:
tf.exp(mean_loss).numpy()
67.02338
Configure the training procedure using the tf.keras.Model.compile method. Use tf.keras.optimizers.Adam with default arguments and the loss function.
model.compile(optimizer='adam', loss=loss)
Configure checkpoints
Use a tf.keras.callbacks.ModelCheckpoint to ensure that checkpoints are saved during training:
# Directory where the checkpoints will be saved
checkpoint_dir = './training_checkpoints'
# Name of the checkpoint files
checkpoint_prefix = os.path.join(checkpoint_dir, "ckpt_{epoch}")
checkpoint_callback = tf.keras.callbacks.ModelCheckpoint(
filepath=checkpoint_prefix,
save_weights_only=True)
Execute the training
To keep training time reasonable, use 10 epochs to train the model. In Colab, set the runtime to GPU for faster training.
EPOCHS = 20
history = model.fit(dataset, epochs=EPOCHS, callbacks=[checkpoint_callback])

Generate text
The simplest way to generate text with this model is to run it in a loop, and keep track of the model's internal state as you execute it.
Each time you call the model you pass in some text and an internal state. The model returns a prediction for the next character and its new state. Pass the prediction and state back in to continue generating text.
The following makes a single step prediction:
class OneStep(tf.keras.Model):
def __init__(self, model, chars_from_ids, ids_from_chars, temperature=1.0):
super().__init__()
self.temperature=temperature
self.model = model
self.chars_from_ids = chars_from_ids
self.ids_from_chars = ids_from_chars
# Create a mask to prevent "" or "[UNK]" from being generated.
skip_ids = self.ids_from_chars(['','[UNK]'])[:, None]
sparse_mask = tf.SparseTensor(
# Put a -inf at each bad index.
values=[-float('inf')]*len(skip_ids),
indices = skip_ids,
# Match the shape to the vocabulary
dense_shape=[len(ids_from_chars.get_vocabulary())])
self.prediction_mask = tf.sparse.to_dense(sparse_mask)
@tf.function
def generate_one_step(self, inputs, states=None):
# Convert strings to token IDs.
input_chars = tf.strings.unicode_split(inputs, 'UTF-8')
input_ids = self.ids_from_chars(input_chars).to_tensor()
# Run the model.
# predicted_logits.shape is [batch, char, next_char_logits]
predicted_logits, states = self.model(inputs=input_ids, states=states,
return_state=True)
# Only use the last prediction.
predicted_logits = predicted_logits[:, -1, :]
predicted_logits = predicted_logits/self.temperature
# Apply the prediction mask: prevent "" or "[UNK]" from being generated.
predicted_logits = predicted_logits + self.prediction_mask
# Sample the output logits to generate token IDs.
predicted_ids = tf.random.categorical(predicted_logits, num_samples=1)
predicted_ids = tf.squeeze(predicted_ids, axis=-1)
# Convert from token ids to characters
predicted_chars = self.chars_from_ids(predicted_ids)
# Return the characters and model state.
return predicted_chars, states
one_step_model = OneStep(model, chars_from_ids, ids_from_chars)
Run it in a loop to generate some text. Looking at the generated text, you'll see the model knows when to capitalize, make paragraphs and imitates a Shakespeare-like writing vocabulary. With the small number of training epochs, it has not yet learned to form coherent sentences.
start = time.time()
states = None
next_char = tf.constant(['ROMEO:'])
result = [next_char]
for n in range(1000):
next_char, states = one_step_model.generate_one_step(next_char, states=states)
result.append(next_char)
result = tf.strings.join(result)
end = time.time()
print(result[0].numpy().decode('utf-8'), '\n\n' + '_'*80)
print(f"\nRun time: {end - start}")
ROMEO: That's the wars. BAPTISTA: Ay, but what of Poxers? BIANCA: That's as might we part; These times the waning of women'st cares Against the heart.

The easiest thing you can do to improve the results is to train it for longer (try EPOCHS = 30).
You can also experiment with a different start string, try adding another RNN layer to improve the model's accuracy, or adjust the temperature parameter to generate more or less random predictions.
If you want the model to generate text faster the easiest thing you can do is batch the text generation. In the example below the model generates 5 outputs in about the same time it took to generate 1 above.
start = time.time()
states = None
next_char = tf.constant(['ROMEO:', 'ROMEO:', 'ROMEO:', 'ROMEO:', 'ROMEO:'])
result = [next_char]

result.append(next_char)
result = tf.strings.join(result)
end = time.time()
print(result, '\n\n' + '_'*80)

Advanced: Customized Training
The above training procedure is simple, but does not give you much control. It uses teacher-forcing which prevents bad predictions from being fed back to the model so the model never learns to recover from mistakes.
So now that you've seen how to run the model manually next you'll implement the training loop. This gives a starting point if, for example, you want to implement curriculum learning to help stabilize the model's open-loop output.
The most important part of a custom training loop is the train step function.
Use tf.GradientTape to track the gradients. You can learn more about this approach by reading the eager execution guide.
The basic procedure is:
- Execute the model and calculate the loss under a
tf.GradientTape. - Calculate the updates and apply them to the model using the optimizer.
class CustomTraining(MyModel):
@tf.function
def train_step(self, inputs):
inputs, labels = inputs
with tf.GradientTape() as tape:
predictions = self(inputs, training=True)
loss = self.loss(labels, predictions)
grads = tape.gradient(loss, model.trainable_variables)
self.optimizer.apply_gradients(zip(grads, model.trainable_variables))
return {'loss': loss}
The above implementation of the train_step method follows Keras' train_step conventions. This is optional, but it allows you to change the behavior of the train step and still use keras' Model.compile and Model.fit methods.
model = CustomTraining(
vocab_size=len(ids_from_chars.get_vocabulary()),
embedding_dim=embedding_dim,
rnn_units=rnn_units)
model.compile(optimizer = tf.keras.optimizers.Adam(),
loss=tf.keras.losses.SparseCategoricalCrossentropy(from_logits=True))
model.fit(dataset, epochs=1)
172/172 [==============================] - 15s 76ms/step - loss: 2.7008 <tensorflow.python.keras.callbacks.History at 0x7f7ddc2ef668>
Or if you need more control, you can write your own complete custom training loop:
EPOCHS = 10
mean = tf.metrics.Mean()
for epoch in range(EPOCHS):
start = time.time()
mean.reset_states()
for (batch_n, (inp, target)) in enumerate(dataset):
logs = model.train_step([inp, target])
mean.update_state(logs['loss'])
if batch_n % 50 == 0:
template = 'Epoch {} Batch {} Loss {}'
print(template.format(epoch + 1, batch_n, logs['loss']))
# saving (checkpoint) the model every 5 epochs
if (epoch + 1) % 5 == 0:
model.save_weights(checkpoint_prefix.format(epoch=epoch))
print()
print('Epoch {} Loss: {:.4f}'.format(epoch + 1, mean.result().numpy()))
print('Time taken for 1 epoch {} sec'.format(time.time() - start))
print("_"*80)
model.save_weights(checkpoint_prefix.format(epoch=epoch))
