Differentiable Neural Computer in PyTorch

This is PyTorch port of DeepMind's Differentiable Neural Computer (DNC).

The original code was written with TensorFlow v1, which is not straightforward to set up in modern tech stack, such as Apple Scilicon and Python 3.8+.

This code requires only PyTorch >= 1.10.

The code structure and interfaces are kept almost same. The original docstring is preserved as-is.

Usage

Training

You can run repeat-copy task with python train.py. It will start the training of DNC with repeat-copy task, and generates output like the following.

For the format of the display, please checkout the docstring of RepeatCopy class.
