About shuffle operation

[yapingzhao]

Hi, I have a question: does the tensorflow / NMT model shuffle after each epoch when training the translation model?Also, how do we perform shuffle operations?

Looking forward to your advice or answers. Best regards, Thank you very much!

yes, it does shuffle each time it's iterated over. line # 114 in https://github.com/tensorflow/nmt/blob/master/nmt/utils/iterator_utils.py

Hi,I have a question: Can the encoder be processed in different formats with the decoder? The encoder uses BPE and the decoder uses character processing. Looking forward to your advice or answers. Thank you very much.
