I think I fixed the CUDA issue, but I ran into a docker issue due to system resources getting locked up due to a memory leak. I put out an e-mail for someone else to come and take a look at it. But I'm very excited to get that running. I did some tests with just the CPU only, and even without the GPU I can train networks faster than your run-of-the-mill CPU/GPU combo. It helps to have 20 cores over which you can distribute the workload. And with that GPU that can sustain 288 GB/sec bandwidth, I think I'll be good to go, hardware-wise.
I've got a long-running job going trying to push the limits of what this network size can do, but it's so long-running that it's frankly really boring. It's not quite halfway done, and the squared error is a respectable (for the network and data set size) 36, and slowly dropping.
There are a few avenues of optimization here. One is to try other solvers, which is actually kind of intimidating. Another is to finally start dropping checkpoints (probably just write a pickle to disk). I'm aware, as well, of one possible optimization to the generated functions.
For now, I'm seeing if a call graph of a small run reveals any obvious inefficiencies. I used this to some effect on the Pypy version of this code, but eventually I couldn't see how to make things faster. This looks like it'll be a similar kind of thing; lots and lots of the logic in this code lives in compiled code, but I won't know for sure if I don't look. I'll look into setting up a checkpoint system tomorrow.
ETA: Theano is... peculiar. I do see some some opportunities for modest optimization, though (like 5%). I can try them out, sure.
ETA: Okay, that's a bit of an improvement. Not sure if there's any way to tune the generated code.
So, I am a undergraduate student from Brazil, and I have been following this thread for a while. Recently, I have been learning about Machine Learning because this subject has caught my attention a lot. I was part of a Call of duty clan when someone from this clan created a thread that talked about this thread here, so that's how I found you guys. I used play Magic the Gathering a lot when I was a kid, but now I don't even know the new abilities and features Magic might have.
Anyway, I came here today to say that I came up with this idea of using the algorithm you guys have used, to apply in that card game called Hearthstone. Apparently, Hearthstone seems to be simpler than Magic, so the modeling was also very simple. Basically, I used "card name", "mana cost", "type","text","attack","defense".
The biggest problem I have had is that Hearthstone does not have as many cards as Magic has, so my data base is small. In order to solve this problem, I have created cards getting elves names that I have found in websites. Also, I have got "mana cost", "attack", and "defense" from Magic's cards. Doing this procedure, I have got this input that has 1.8MB, and believe me, it was hard to get to this amount.
I know you guys know better about Magic, and this is the same for me, but I would like to ask if you guys have an idea that could help improving my results.
Olá e bem-vindo, Arthur! Sorry, I meant to reply to you sooner but was preoccupied. I'm happy to hear that you've found this work so interesting and that you're having fun with it.
Some recommendations I would make would be...
* Convert all upper case letters to lower case ones (i.e. A -> a), if you have not already. That reduces the size of the vocabulary of symbols.
* Use unary notation for all values. We've found that to be helpful when training the network to understand quantities.
But the biggest problem of all is the amount of input, as you've noted. You can expand the set of cards in the way you've described, and that's not a bad idea, but remember that the network is imitating you imitating Hearthstone using data from Magic. That alters the distributions of stats, obviously. The other problem is that it doesn't give us much in the way of new body text to work on, and body text is where most of the variation in the cards comes from.
However, if you had an algorithm that could generate all of that and generate authentic-looking cards, then we wouldn't need to train a network to do the job.
So are you going to test bigger neural nets or quicker successions of the same size but with more quick changes?
A quick though that crept into my mind, since from what i remember the first layer of the RNN only reads the card and the amount of data on a card is limited, wouldnt there be an optimal size for that layer that could be calculated or experimentally approximated? (maybe i forgot over the last 79pages if it came up somewhere)
If so one could safe a bit of time by using the optimal size only.
What this means is that I get much faster turnaround time when I do experiments. I can try out a change, and get results rapidly. I can figure out what works and what doesn't much more quickly.
And you're quite right. Bigger is not always better. There's a general relationship between size/complexity of a problem and the amount of computational resources you have to throw at it to get a good solution, but the more learnable parameters you have in your system, the more difficult it is to train.

Still working out that bug I mentioned last night. The problem isn't with Torch or CUDA or anything like that, it's with the virtual container system that we're using. I'm running everything in a sandbox so that I don't have to worry about making any permanent changes to the underlying system. The problem is that there appears to be a memory issue with the container system. If you keep creating containers, even if you get rid of them after you use them, some part of them is left behind on disk and it clogs everything up. I'm currently looking into that issue. But I'm confident that I can get everything running with regards to my experiments and Magic stuff, so no worries there.
EDIT: I spoke with the machine's overseer who has identified the issue. If he has time today he'll try to implement the fix, and he might have some time tomorrow morning. But he's planning on going with fishing with his son and grandson tomorrow and I feel that if he can't get to it today, he can do it on Monday. After all, there's something magical about taking a young person on a fishing trip: the sunburn, the boredom, the insect bites... taken all together, it's a very powerful "character-building" exercise, and I wouldn't want to impede that in any way, lol.
Something just occurred to me about this gradient descent thing. As gnarly as they are, the error functions I'm optimizing are continuous. That means that if the gradient points me in a given direction, either there really is a smaller error that way, or some of the function is shoved in-between two 64-bit floats. I'm going to hope it's the former. Anyway, what I'm doing now makes no reference to what the changes actually do to the error. If, instead of using momentum, I just referred to the gradient, set the step size really high, and had it constantly scale the step-size down in response to an increased error, then it could adaptively find a good step size.
It's hard for me to figure out what affect this would have on run-time, but it could lead to something that has the decency to self-terminate when it reaches a local minimum that it can't hop out of. And a larger step size gives us bigger hops.
ETA: Tried bumping up the network size. This didn't change my profiling particularly, which suggests to me that the cost of this stuff is specifically the switching from Python to compiled code. It's not yet obvious to me how to reduce the number of calls. (Perhaps I could code the input data into the functions, allowing me to train an entire batch in one step. Then, I could try using scan to batch them up further, and stop there, because I would end up with an excruciating startup time, followed by some blazing loops.)

Hello Talcos,
First of all, thank you for replying me, and for the tips. I am going to change what you recommended, and see what happens.
Also, I forgot to tell you I am not using exactly the algorithm that is available in your github. The reason for that is because I've tried, but it seems like the input must be modeled for a Magic card, am I right? Therefore, I have used the neural net from Karpathy. Would you recommend me to change anything in his code?

No problem! And yes, I would recommend using Karpathy's original implementation. It should work well enough for you as is, honestly.

Indeed, the code in the mtg-rnn repo will only work for input that shares certain key properties with text that looks like the encoding produced by mtgencode.
Specifically, mtg-rnn has a specialized batcher that tries to break the input up into a series of cards, and then randomize them across epochs so that as little information as possible is lost due to chopping into training batches. The effect hasn't been experimentally validated, but it works at least as well as the original and the idea seems reasonable, no? In any case, you could still use it for hearthstone cards if you structure the input in the right way. You would have to separate cards with pairs of newline characters, and not have longer sequences of newlines anywhere (though single newlines inside cards are fine). If you do that it should just work. If you separate fields within the cards with vertical bar | characters, you could use the randomize_fields option as well, just like for magic cards.
The output is pretty verbose, so you should have a good idea of how it's working. If you want to use it and run into any issues, feel free to post an issue on the github. I don't have access to any of my machines right now but I will starting next week.
At this point I'm just patiently waiting. Hopefully we'll have the memory issue resolved tomorrow. Now, I won't have results for y'all right away, in that I have some experiments to run beforehand, then I need to confirm that everything in the modified training script works, and then, once training finishes, I'll have to write a new sampling script to interact with the stackRNN. That being said I'll probably have time to generate some higher resolution images before all that (I can't resist the opportunity), and I'll let y'all know what I come up with.
By the way, here are a few cards from this morning, combined with generated flavor text for fun.
Ritual of Rebirth 2R
Enchantment (Rare)
All creatures have double strike and deathtouch. The ritual is the most dangerous love of battle. It pain is eternally service fire, dreams learn to watch these, and its music leats the instinct.
#"Leats" is a perfectly cromulent verb.
Totempant Battlemage GG
Creature - Elf Warrior (Rare)
Hexproof
Whenever a creature with flying is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, draw a card. "The skies shall be left for an explosive."
2/2
Mirror Wall 2UU
Creature - Wall (Rare)
Defender
Whenever a creature you control deals combat damage to a player, put a token that's a copy of that creature onto the battlefield under your control. The reflections show not stupidial creatures, but many more.
0/3
#I'm impressed that the name matched the card so well. It's also interesting that it made this into a creature with defender, so it requires you to have other creatures on the field for it to be useful. I think this card could see print as is, maybe.
Necromantic Imp 1BB
Creature - Imp (Uncommon)
Flying
Whenever Necromantic Imp attacks, you may have it deal damage equal to its power to target creature or player. Necromancers are harder than fruit, and they are perfect.
1/1
I'm also wondering what exactly the rnn_size and num_layers influences in the training command do. I've used the tutorial on the github. (Epoch is low because I reran the training at lower eval_val_every at 100 for a quicker test if it was a onetime thing or not.
First, rnn_size indicates the number of recurrent network units per layer. Next, num_layers sets the number of such layers in the network. Higher values of rnn_size and num_layers mean a wider and deeper network.
You're fine! Can you try creating the cv directory inside the mtg-rnn directory? From what you're telling me, it sounds like you are creating the cv directory in your home directory, and not inside of the mtg-rnn folder. Also save the checkpoint to that directory and not, say, inside of a subdirectory under cv.
Thanks, that worked! I'll let it run for a while now so I can get some results that are readable instead of the nonsense I'm getting now and I'll make sure to share.
Awesome! No problem.
And yeah, if you're getting garbage, just let it percolate for awhile. Then we can see how things turn out and whether any of the parameters you chose could use some fine-tuning.
Ugh. I'm getting results, technically, but Theano is really jacking the iteration time up. (That's iterative development. The stuff I'm doing now, it may be slow, but I can't blame that on anything, since I've got nothing to compare it to.)
As I see it, my options are pretty much either to try redoing my custom (fast-iterating) node stuff using Numpy, or... actually, I should see what happens if I turn off compilation. Not great. Switch to float32? Too long to tell.
I'm going to take a break from touching code, maybe try to get some more matrix-aware calculus theory brought to bear on this. I'm not totally sure that Theano is a better fit for this problem than my hand-tuned stuff. If I have compilation on, its optimized code is just a little faster than my hand-written optimizer running in PyPy. Which uses no explicit vector math. And Theano has to compile it first.

Compilation here seems like a good plan. For example, when you know how many timesteps you'll have to do then you can unroll those computations pretty easily.
As for lowering the precision, I'm not sure that will benefit you overly much. If you do it right, lowering the precision would enable you to cram in more computation, but a lot of it comes down to what is expected by the framework that you're using and what they aim to optimize.

I'm curious, what kind of hardware are you using (I apologize if I've asked this before)? Inefficiencies in the math can be costly, but we're mostly working with datasets with mere thousands of elements as opposed to, say, tens of millions (e.g. image data for recognition tasks).
Here are some hand-picked cards from both selections

smoldering tora (uncommon)
{R}
instant
@ deals 1 damage to target creature or player. return @ to its owner's hand at the beginning of the next end step."
#Random closing", for the rest doesn't seem too bad.
visions (uncommon)
{1}{R}{R}
sorcery

{U}
creature ~ human wizard
you have no creatures you control.
(1/2)
#These are not the creatures you're looking for?
spike breath (uncommon)
{2}{R}
instant
@ deals 2 damage to target creature. if @ was cast from a creature card at random, that creature gets +7/+6 until end of turn.
#Almost looks interesting
serra abomination (mythic rare)
{4}{W}{W}{B}{B}
creature ~ archon
flying
when @ enters the battlefield, you may search your library for an enchantment card that shares a color with the most common color among nontoken permanents the chosen player controls but is ties from white commander equal to the number of red mana symbols in the revealed card's converted mana cost.
(4/5)
#I think a train of thought got derailed here
flickerforce assassin (uncommon)
{3}{U}
creature ~ human wizard
morph~return a balian creature card from your graveyard to your hand.
(2/3)
#Alternate morph cost

{1}{B}
creature ~ insect marie
flying
threshold ~ as long as seven or more cards are in your graveyard, @ has "whenever a nontoken creature dies, you may put a land card from your hand onto the battlefield. = you draw X cards and you lose X life, where X is your life total.
(2/1)
#A great legal X card. And it only has a minor drawback for that draw ability!
jungle dia (rare)
{X}{R}{R}
sorcery
@ deals X damage divided as you choose among one or two target creatures and/or players.
And finally, an actual X card.
Uncast is used for things like "counter target spell" so that there isn't confusion with things like, "+1/+1 counters," etc, I believe.

Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Why did I ever think a signature in comic sans was a good idea?
I'm just running it on my laptop. I suppose compilation would make sense, since the actual algorithms are known and I'm just tweaking the parameters. The thing is, I'm kind of associating "compilation" with a low-level C-style language, and there are two things happening there: I'm not sure I'd trust any C code I write that's longer than a dozen lines or so, and whatever this is needs some major preprocessing to calculate the gradients. No matter what I do, I'd have to either learn a language I'm not really familiar with, or try using a non-default RPython.
Do you have any recommendations for a language that has good (basic or better) matrix/vector operation support, some kind of good macro system (since I can't just generate the node graph at runtime), and doesn't make it too easy to accidentally nuke my system? (It looks like Rust has BLAS support through a library. Dunno if that's the general space I should be aiming for.)
Ugh. I'm getting results, technically, but Theano is really jacking the iteration time up.[...]Switch to float32? Too long to tell.
Theano can only run on the gpu if you're using float32. Are you using any theano flags when you run python/ipython? Theano will use your cpu by default otherwise
I haven't been doing it on the GPU, and I'm not sure it'd matter given that initial compilation seems to take like five minutes for some reason, and I think I've been working with small enough matrices that the bound is actually passing them into the compiled functions (like, when I profile it with matrices of one size, and again with matrices of twice that size, it all works out the same). Like, if I want to effectively batch this stuff, I need to figure out how to rewrite the functions in terms of scan (which might speed up compilation, by just having less of it), and pass in stuff in jagged arrays, since the whole point of this code is that it auto-encodes variable-length data.

Believe me, I understand your hesitation. The last research paper I put out concerned making C code safer and controlling the damage it can do. I'm all for minimizing all human contact with C to the greatest extent possible.
One way of achieving that is through transcompilation (source-to-source compilation) of a higher-level language to C. That reduces everything to a close-to-the-metal form upon which we can perform very robust optimizations, and we get good safety guarantees because we're moving from a more restrictive language to a controlled subset of C. This appears to be the route that Theano takes, though I haven't used that framework much before.

Right now I've been doing most of my work in Lua using Torch, with a bunch of my auxiliary code written in Python.
Many languages offer BLAS support. I've not thought to use Rust, but I've met with people who did development work on that language and they were very enthusiastic about Rust's flexibility, efficiency, and safety.
As for what languages to use, I'm sure Tiir would know much more than I.

Looks like the memory fix I'm waiting for will happen tonight. I look forward to getting some performance numbers for the new hardware.
Haha, I was just thinking about your grammar induction work the other day and was going to ask you how the work was coming along, and well, here you are.
Excellent work! I'm happy to hear that things are coming along just nicely for you. I'm quite happy to hear that you're able to eke out decent results with very little data. I suppose it helps that Magic English strives to eliminate ambiguities, redundancies, and issues like complicated co-references rarely show up.
And no, it's most definitely helpful. There still are issues with ungrammaticality, especially at higher temperatures. Having a good inferred grammar would help with constructing a garbage filter, meaning we could generate cards in ever greater numbers without having to worry about indecipherable irregularities creeping in.
With some combination of what you have and approaches like the continuous-bag-of-words, I'm confident that we could have reverse engineered ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics without the aid of the Rosetta Stone. We're about 216 years too late for that. But you've arrived just in time to help us with Magic, so that's wonderful.
EDIT: It's possible that everything I need for the high-end machine will be set up by the end of the day. Evidently the backup process took longer than expected. But that's okay. It happens. lol.
Woo, alright it's been awhile. Been working on a great many projects but I've been cherry-picking a bunch of interesting cards from my networks thus far. I always get a smile when I come across a new fish card, some of them are pretty interesting. I've set up spoilers below by color, and as I've said before I eventually plan on expanding this to a full draft set. Since some of the the cards are either missing information or their costs/power is so wildly unbalanced, I'm starting to consider at what point do I draw a line between "I need to edit these for the sake of the cube draft" and whether or not that ruins some of the charm?
Interesting thing to note is that I've ran a set like a solid week (50 something epochs I think it ended up at), but I find that most of my "interesting" cards come from the lower, more chaotic levels. Yes you have to sift through a lot of garbage, but I just find that the longer the system has to learn about the cards, the less creative it gets with them, and you get way too vanilla cards.
I'm still sorting through all the generated cards, but so far one of the most flavorful ones is "Demon of the Master's Tomb" (I've attached a pic)

EDIT: By the way, LASture, I love the cards. They're a nice mix of hilarious and awesome.
EDIT(2): Oh lord, this new hardware is unbelievably fast. I train a three-layer LSTM network with 512 units per layer, sequence length of 200, and batch size of 100, at a speed of 1.36 seconds per batch. In other words, I can fully train a network to generate Magic cards in under two hours as opposed to, say, 20-26 hours. That is.. wow. That is fast. Wow. I'll have to play with that later.

This is output from make, shortly before it gave up. So I'm not "using" ROSE so much as trying to use it. Not totally sure it was in a valid state to start with, since I had to hack determine-os.m4 to have some vague knowledge of the existence of Yosemite.
Since some of the the cards are either missing information or their costs/power is so wildly unbalanced, I'm starting to consider at what point do I draw a line between "I need to edit these for the sake of the cube draft" and whether or not that ruins some of the charm?
That was one reason I've shifted over from "filling out a set skeleton" to "building a Greatest Hits cube". I didn't like how much hand editing was required to make the former work--especially given that the current methods available for "priming" gum up the RNN's thought process so much.
I will make small edits to a card that's nearly there, such as removing a spurious clause added to the end of an otherwise rules-legal sentence, defining an undefined token type, or replacing "Echo" with "Kicker" in a card that has an "if it was kicked" clause. But I haven't figured out where I fall on adjusting mana costs.

That's awesome stuff... will it be as quick when you try the StackRNN implementation? I'm guessing a 1080p Starry Night Jace is also within reach too?
Is it just the powerful GPU making the training so fast (presumably you're training using the GPU) or are the 20 CPU cores also helping?

There are a few avenues of optimization here. One is to try other solvers, which is actually kind of intimidating. Another is to finally start dropping checkpoints (probably just write a pickle to disk). I'm aware, as well, of one possible optimization to the generated functions.
For now, I'm seeing if a call graph of a small run reveals any obvious inefficiencies. I used this to some effect on the Pypy version of this code, but eventually I couldn't see how to make things faster. This looks like it'll be a similar kind of thing; lots and lots of the logic in this code lives in compiled code, but I won't know for sure if I don't look. I'll look into setting up a checkpoint system tomorrow.
ETA: Theano is... peculiar. I do see some some opportunities for modest optimization, though (like 5%). I can try them out, sure.
ETA: Okay, that's a bit of an improvement. Not sure if there's any way to tune the generated code.
Olá e bem-vindo, Arthur! Sorry, I meant to reply to you sooner but was preoccupied. I'm happy to hear that you've found this work so interesting and that you're having fun with it.
Some recommendations I would make would be...
* Convert all upper case letters to lower case ones (i.e. A -> a), if you have not already. That reduces the size of the vocabulary of symbols.
* Use unary notation for all values. We've found that to be helpful when training the network to understand quantities.
But the biggest problem of all is the amount of input, as you've noted. You can expand the set of cards in the way you've described, and that's not a bad idea, but remember that the network is imitating you imitating Hearthstone using data from Magic. That alters the distributions of stats, obviously. The other problem is that it doesn't give us much in the way of new body text to work on, and body text is where most of the variation in the cards comes from.
However, if you had an algorithm that could generate all of that and generate authentic-looking cards, then we wouldn't need to train a network to do the job.
What this means is that I get much faster turnaround time when I do experiments. I can try out a change, and get results rapidly. I can figure out what works and what doesn't much more quickly.
And you're quite right. Bigger is not always better. There's a general relationship between size/complexity of a problem and the amount of computational resources you have to throw at it to get a good solution, but the more learnable parameters you have in your system, the more difficult it is to train.
---
Still working out that bug I mentioned last night. The problem isn't with Torch or CUDA or anything like that, it's with the virtual container system that we're using. I'm running everything in a sandbox so that I don't have to worry about making any permanent changes to the underlying system. The problem is that there appears to be a memory issue with the container system. If you keep creating containers, even if you get rid of them after you use them, some part of them is left behind on disk and it clogs everything up. I'm currently looking into that issue. But I'm confident that I can get everything running with regards to my experiments and Magic stuff, so no worries there.
EDIT: I spoke with the machine's overseer who has identified the issue. If he has time today he'll try to implement the fix, and he might have some time tomorrow morning. But he's planning on going with fishing with his son and grandson tomorrow and I feel that if he can't get to it today, he can do it on Monday. After all, there's something magical about taking a young person on a fishing trip: the sunburn, the boredom, the insect bites... taken all together, it's a very powerful "character-building" exercise, and I wouldn't want to impede that in any way, lol.

It's hard for me to figure out what affect this would have on run-time, but it could lead to something that has the decency to self-terminate when it reaches a local minimum that it can't hop out of. And a larger step size gives us bigger hops.
ETA: Tried bumping up the network size. This didn't change my profiling particularly, which suggests to me that the cost of this stuff is specifically the switching from Python to compiled code. It's not yet obvious to me how to reduce the number of calls. (Perhaps I could code the input data into the functions, allowing me to train an entire batch in one step. Then, I could try using scan to batch them up further, and stop there, because I would end up with an excruciating startup time, followed by some blazing loops.)
Hello Talcos,
First of all, thank you for replying me, and for the tips. I am going to change what you recommended, and see what happens.
Also, I forgot to tell you I am not using exactly the algorithm that is available in your github. The reason for that is because I've tried, but it seems like the input must be modeled for a Magic card, am I right? Therefore, I have used the neural net from Karpathy. Would you recommend me to change anything in his code?
Sincerely,
Arthur Medeiros.
No problem! And yes, I would recommend using Karpathy's original implementation. It should work well enough for you as is, honestly.

The mtg-rnn repo and the mtg-encode repo.
Indeed, the code in the mtg-rnn repo will only work for input that shares certain key properties with text that looks like the encoding produced by mtgencode.
Specifically, mtg-rnn has a specialized batcher that tries to break the input up into a series of cards, and then randomize them across epochs so that as little information as possible is lost due to chopping into training batches. The effect hasn't been experimentally validated, but it works at least as well as the original and the idea seems reasonable, no? In any case, you could still use it for hearthstone cards if you structure the input in the right way. You would have to separate cards with pairs of newline characters, and not have longer sequences of newlines anywhere (though single newlines inside cards are fine). If you do that it should just work. If you separate fields within the cards with vertical bar | characters, you could use the randomize_fields option as well, just like for magic cards.
The output is pretty verbose, so you should have a good idea of how it's working. If you want to use it and run into any issues, feel free to post an issue on the github. I don't have access to any of my machines right now but I will starting next week.
By the way, here are a few cards from this morning, combined with generated flavor text for fun.
Ritual of Rebirth
2R
Enchantment (Rare)
All creatures have double strike and deathtouch.
The ritual is the most dangerous love of battle. It pain is eternally service fire, dreams learn to watch these, and its music leats the instinct.
#"Leats" is a perfectly cromulent verb.
Totempant Battlemage
GG
Creature - Elf Warrior (Rare)
Hexproof
Whenever a creature with flying is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, draw a card.
"The skies shall be left for an explosive."
2/2
Mirror Wall
2UU
Creature - Wall (Rare)
Defender
Whenever a creature you control deals combat damage to a player, put a token that's a copy of that creature onto the battlefield under your control.
The reflections show not stupidial creatures, but many more.
0/3
#I'm impressed that the name matched the card so well. It's also interesting that it made this into a creature with defender, so it requires you to have other creatures on the field for it to be useful. I think this card could see print as is, maybe.
Necromantic Imp
1BB
Creature - Imp (Uncommon)
Flying
Whenever Necromantic Imp attacks, you may have it deal damage equal to its power to target creature or player.
Necromancers are harder than fruit, and they are perfect.

Does the directory "cv" exist? If not, create it. Otherwise, do you have permission to write in that directory?
First, rnn_size indicates the number of recurrent network units per layer. Next, num_layers sets the number of such layers in the network. Higher values of rnn_size and num_layers mean a wider and deeper network.

As I see it, my options are pretty much either to try redoing my custom (fast-iterating) node stuff using Numpy, or... actually, I should see what happens if I turn off compilation. Not great. Switch to float32? Too long to tell.
I'm going to take a break from touching code, maybe try to get some more matrix-aware calculus theory brought to bear on this. I'm not totally sure that Theano is a better fit for this problem than my hand-tuned stuff. If I have compilation on, its optimized code is just a little faster than my hand-written optimizer running in PyPy. Which uses no explicit vector math. And Theano has to compile it first.
Compilation here seems like a good plan. For example, when you know how many timesteps you'll have to do then you can unroll those computations pretty easily.
As for lowering the precision, I'm not sure that will benefit you overly much. If you do it right, lowering the precision would enable you to cram in more computation, but a lot of it comes down to what is expected by the framework that you're using and what they aim to optimize.
I'm curious, what kind of hardware are you using (I apologize if I've asked this before)? Inefficiencies in the math can be costly, but we're mostly working with datasets with mere thousands of elements as opposed to, say, tens of millions (e.g. image data for recognition tasks).

Uncast is used for things like "counter target spell" so that there isn't confusion with things like, "+1/+1 counters," etc, I believe.
Do you have any recommendations for a language that has good (basic or better) matrix/vector operation support, some kind of good macro system (since I can't just generate the node graph at runtime), and doesn't make it too easy to accidentally nuke my system? (It looks like Rust has BLAS support through a library. Dunno if that's the general space I should be aiming for.)
Haha, I like the results.
Believe me, I understand your hesitation. The last research paper I put out concerned making C code safer and controlling the damage it can do. I'm all for minimizing all human contact with C to the greatest extent possible.
One way of achieving that is through transcompilation (source-to-source compilation) of a higher-level language to C. That reduces everything to a close-to-the-metal form upon which we can perform very robust optimizations, and we get good safety guarantees because we're moving from a more restrictive language to a controlled subset of C. This appears to be the route that Theano takes, though I haven't used that framework much before.
Right now I've been doing most of my work in Lua using Torch, with a bunch of my auxiliary code written in Python.
Many languages offer BLAS support. I've not thought to use Rust, but I've met with people who did development work on that language and they were very enthusiastic about Rust's flexibility, efficiency, and safety.
As for what languages to use, I'm sure Tiir would know much more than I.

Looks like the memory fix I'm waiting for will happen tonight. I look forward to getting some performance numbers for the new hardware.

Excellent work! I'm happy to hear that things are coming along just nicely for you.
And no, it's most definitely helpful. There still are issues with ungrammaticality, especially at higher temperatures. Having a good inferred grammar would help with constructing a garbage filter, meaning we could generate cards in ever greater numbers without having to worry about indecipherable irregularities creeping in.
With some combination of what you have and approaches like the continuous-bag-of-words, I'm confident that we could have reverse engineered ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics without the aid of the Rosetta Stone. We're about 216 years too late for that. But you've arrived just in time to help us with Magic, so that's wonderful.
EDIT: It's possible that everything I need for the high-end machine will be set up by the end of the day. Evidently the backup process took longer than expected. But that's okay. It happens. lol.

Interesting thing to note is that I've ran a set like a solid week (50 something epochs I think it ended up at), but I find that most of my "interesting" cards come from the lower, more chaotic levels. Yes you have to sift through a lot of garbage, but I just find that the longer the system has to learn about the cards, the less creative it gets with them, and you get way too vanilla cards.
I'm still sorting through all the generated cards, but so far one of the most flavorful ones is "Demon of the Master's Tomb" (I've attached a pic)

On further investigation, I'm not even sure where this code is.
Wait, what is this? And are you using ROSE? I'm a contributor to that project. Sawyer is an event logger. As to why there is an error, I'd have to investigate.
EDIT: By the way, LASture, I love the cards. They're a nice mix of hilarious and awesome.
EDIT(2): Oh lord, this new hardware is unbelievably fast. I train a three-layer LSTM network with 512 units per layer, sequence length of 200, and batch size of 100, at a speed of 1.36 seconds per batch. In other words, I can fully train a network to generate Magic cards in under two hours as opposed to, say, 20-26 hours. That is.. wow. That is fast. Wow. I'll have to play with that later.
My LinkedIn profile... thing (I have one of those now!).
My research team's webpage.
The mtg-rnn repo and the mtg-encode repo.
I will make small edits to a card that's nearly there, such as removing a spurious clause added to the end of an otherwise rules-legal sentence, defining an undefined token type, or replacing "Echo" with "Kicker" in a card that has an "if it was kicked" clause. But I haven't figured out where I fall on adjusting mana costs.
That's awesome stuff... will it be as quick when you try the StackRNN implementation? I'm guessing a 1080p Starry Night Jace is also within reach too?
Is it just the powerful GPU making the training so fast (presumably you're training using the GPU) or are the 20 CPU cores also helping?
