    So as I was reading through this extensive thread I remember reading some about card formatting and the position on the elements.
    This is definitely an interesting area of study. Changing the order of the fields should have no effect on the training sampling process, and it should be pretty easy to do if you're comfortable opening up encode.py and decode.py and changing the arguments they give to the Card class. As long as the fields are all labeled, then decode.py should work fine no matter what order they're in. If you don't include the explicit labels, then you'll have to make sure decode.py knows the order or it will be confused. If you're having a hard time with the code, I can try to explain or provide some examples.

    The mtgencode changeset that I'm working on right now (and that was used to create the two 10MB dumps I posted most recently) changes the field order to be better than it was before, but I've by no means done all of the necessary experimentation to figure out what's best.

    Also, I'll note that if you want to be able to prime cards in any order, then you can train a network while randomizing the order of the (labeled) fields, and this works pretty well in practice, though on average cards are less likely to be well-formed and there are some interesting effects on remembering X and things like that.

    EDIT: the latest mtgencode and mtg-rnn versions have been pushed to github. It's quite likely that something in there is a little broken, if anyone runs into any issues I'll try to get them fixed as quickly as possible.

    They also seem to have utilized the semantic vectors of the responses themselves as a pre-filter, so they wouldn't converge too much - you want options that, while meaningful to the context, have some degree of variation.
    Exactly. We want exactly the same things here - new cards that are similar enough to existing cards to be plausible, but different enough to be interesting.

    I'm hoping I can address this a bit with my class project. The big question is, how do you define 'different enough,' and then once you do, how do you provide it? One option is just to build a filter, as Google is doing. I can do a similar thing with my own word2vec data, basically just taking all of the cards from a dump and separating out the ones that are too similar to existing cards or are obviously invalid. The hardest part there is trying to identify word salad.

    Really what you want, though, is to somehow feed this information back into the training process, and I have no idea how to do that, other than by looking for parameters that produce good output. The thing with the word2vec distance is that although it does seem to give us a pretty good idea of how creative a card is, it's very expensive to compute.

    I keep getting out of memory errors, Does that mean I should prune back my network?
    I got one using a 512x3 network, I can (and am) running that on my 5 year old aleinware LAPTOP I'm confused.
    with a 398x3 network I get 0.5s batch times!! I'M SO HAPPY!!
    When training on a GPU, you're limited by the RAM that's available on the graphics card, not the whole RAM installed on your system. I bet your old laptop has at least 8 GB of RAM, while a 970 probably has like 2 or 3. My GTX Titan has 6GB, which is enough to train a 512x3 with seq_length of 200 and a batch size of 50. If I move up to a 768x3 network, I need to bump the batch size down to 40 or it doesn't fit.

    There are a couple of things you can do to try to make it fit in your graphics card's memory - obviously reducing the size of the network is one, but you can also make the seq_length and batch_size smaller (though this will make it take longer to train). In general I find changing batch_size doesn't affect the results much (it just controls how many seq_length sized batches are trained on in at one time in parallel).

    You can run 'nvidia-smi' to see the resource utilization of processes running on your GPU, and what the limits are, to get an idea of how things are working. You can even bring up a small terminal on the side somewhere and run 'nvidia-smi -l 5' to make it rerun every 5 seconds, sort of like 'top' for GPUs.

    I would recommend installing CUDA before you do anything else, and only the version that you get from the NVIDIA developers website.

    That is to say, look at their installation instructions, and install their .deb package or whatever, and then don't touch it at all after that. You shouldn't be using apt-get to install any graphics-driver related software at all.

    whineless response (rare)
    U
    instant ~ arcane
    return target creature to its owner's hand. if @ was kicked, remove a % counter from that creature.
    kicker 2U
    ## That name though. Seriously, this network loves weird names.

    Haha, those names are pretty great. I think the craziness there is mostly due to the fact that I sampled at a temperature of 1.0. If people have specific requests, I can produce more data, my machines are currently sitting idle. I'm hoping to add multiprocessing to the word2vec analysis code so that I can run it 8x faster on my other big Intel core.

    EDIT: Some truly irresistible cards from the 768 dump:

    bone (rare)
    1B
    instant
    destroy target creature or planeswalker.
    ## That name though...

    armored assault (common)
    1B
    enchantment
    B, sacrifice a creature: untap target permanent.
    ## Cool idea other than the rarity and name.

    worm wand (uncommon)
    1
    artifact
    whenever an opponent shuffles his or her library, you may pay 1. if you do, draw a card.
    ## Of course.

    akroan seggend (uncommon)
    _NOCOST_
    land
    T, pay 1 life: add GU to your mana pool. if that mana is spent on a creature spell, it gets +3/+3 and has first strike.
    ## Seems a bit too strong.

    academy retribution (rare)
    _NOCOST_
    land
    T: add 1 to your mana pool.
    10: choose a color. add one mana of that color to your mana pool.
    ## Seems a bit too weak, outside of use with infinite mana combos. Correct (though short distance) choose and chosen though.

    animan mentor (rare)
    _NOCOST_
    land
    T: add 1 to your mana pool.
    10, T, sacrifice @: search the chosen player's library for up to seven cards, reveal those cards, and put them into your hand. then shuffle your library.
    ## Here's a slightly better 10-mana ability on a land. Only slightly messed up the choosing of a player, and of course the usual issue of having other people's cards in your hand.

    rendword pack (common)
    2(U/R)
    instant
    convoke
    heroic ~ whenever you cast a spell that targets @, put it on top of its owner's library.
    ## Reasonable heroic nonpermanent. Can anybody think of a way to break this?

    earthwapmer (mythic rare)
    2(U/R)U
    creature ~ nightmare dragon
    flying
    whenever @ attacks, return a blue creature you control to its owner's hand.
    (6/6)
    ## I kinda like it.

    bone spring (common)
    2(U/R)
    creature ~ sliver
    sliverpy 3R
    when @ enters the battlefield, return two target lands an opponent controls to their owner's hand.
    (2/2)
    ## This would be miserable to play against. I wonder what sliverpy does.

    victiminity (common)
    2BU
    sorcery
    as an additional cost to cast @, sacrifice a creature.
    gain control of target creature until end of turn.
    draw a card.
    ## Fascinating. It doesn't give haste, so you'd have to be more creative than just attacking with whatever it was.

    terparia (rare)
    3(W/B)(W/B)
    enchantment
    as @ enters the battlefield, choose a creature type.
    all nontoken creatures of the chosen type get -2/-0.
    creatures can't attack.
    all attacking player chooses and can block any number of creatures.
    ## Hmmm. I think it should have stopped a bit sooner.

    humble backace (rare)
    2RR
    creature ~ human knight
    whenever an artifact enters the battlefield under your control, you may sacrifice it. if you do, @ deals 5 damage to target creature or player.
    (2/2)
    ## In case you just wanted Shrapnel Blasts.

    So I have uploaded my cron scripts and forked mtgencode to add support for decoding to a pretty html document; although I'm not sure how to include the image files (I'm still new to git).
    Thanks so much for the pull request! I'll get that merged this weekend, then try to get my own changes and the new version of the format pushed out. I generated a few networks to test it, and I'm seeing promising results for both kicker and X / XX in manacosts, using my custom batcher and the latest char-rnn code from karpathy. It's still hit or miss, but that means there are some hits where the network actually figures it out. I'll post both annotated dumps and checkpoints as soon as the changes go live on github.

    EDIT: new checkpoints / dumps are available on my google drive. The format is a little different, but older versions of mtgencode should be able to understand it just fine because the fields are labeled. I've got two 10MB dumps, complete with full MSE2 sets that even include all of the creativity comparison info against existing cards (these took almost a whole day to compute). For space reasons I'm taking down the old stuff from my google drive folder, you can bother me if you still need some of it.

    I'm reluctant to push out mtgencode just yet, as the new changes will effectively break the old format unless you give it some compatibility flags, and I'm not quite confident that all of the new stuff is correct. I'll try to get it out later this weekend.

    Ok, I vaguely remember that I did that origionally and that's when I couldn't even get torch to begin with, but I'll give it a second shot. I'm planning on reinstalling tonight.
    Good luck getting it to work!

    so I'm still a little shaky as to how to handle the Card class, but I think I'll just steal your code that cuts the text into the Cards array and then work card at a time as plain-text (aka. card.format() and then make my modifications). I'll post it as a fork for you to look over; I may make a batch file as well so that each html file has the same src location for the image files. or that could be a variable in the top of the file so people can easily change it looks for the images. That's one of the problems is that the html file isn't standalone.
    That sounds fine. If you write the text transformation, I can easily move it to the right place in the Card class code. As you point out, the hard part is figuring out how to manage the other assets that will need to go along with the html to render pretty mana symbols - unfortunately I don't have any suggestions for you there, my experience with html is quite limited.

    What are your thoughts on making a flag where the user inputs a list of field names and the encoder, (and there for decoder) processes only those field of the card so we can easily try a "no card names" approach, or a "flavor text first" approach?
    This is already sort of implemented, as you can pass an arbitrary list of fields and labels when encoding Card class objects or creating them from raw text. I don't support getting those arguments directly from the command line, but the rational there was that if you were going to go through the work to come up with your own format, then it wouldn't be too much extra effort to just directly write the python code to handle it, for example by adding another format in encode.py and decode.py.

    Is anyone interested in my scripts for getting multiple computers to all dump samples into one computer? with another script that the central dump computer runs to decode said outputs? or am I the only one with old computers that I can let run training for days, to harvest larger, slower training setups?
    I'm mildly curious if it's not too hard for you to provide them. I have a number of machines, though generally my toolchain is to just train / generate large output dumps quickly with my GPU, and then scp them around if I want them somewhere else.

    @hardcast: Thanks I'll investigate that as soon as I get back home. this is assuming I have CUDA installed, which is
    apt-get install nvidia-cuda-toolkit nvidia-modprobe
    Aha, I think I know what your problem is. Using the package manager is great for most things, when it's ok to use stable versions of software that's a few years out of date. However, for gpu drivers this is probably not a good idea. What it looks like happened is that apt gave you some 5.x version of CUDA which seems to be compatible with Torch but actually isn't - looking back at your error log, it was complaining about the version being 5.2 or something, which makes sense because it requires 5.5 or higher.

    I'd recommend carefully purging all nvidia driver packages from your system (or reinstalling the OS if you want to be absolutely sure) and then downloading the linux version of the cuda drivers directly from NVIDIA here. That will give you version 7.5 of cuda, which should be compatible with Torch.

    To confirm what version you have, run those commands I used above ('cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version' and 'nvcc --version') and see what comes out.
    Quote from reimannsum »
    so you're recommendation for the card parser is to basically add it as a flag in the decode.py? or even just modify the cardlib.py to include an additional format option?
    Yes, the right way to do this is to add two things: a flag for the card class's format method in cardlib.py that makes it produce the right html, and then a flag for decode that causes it to pass that flag when formatting the cards and also emit the necessary css / other wrappings for a full, viewable html spoiler.

    What command can I run to easily get you that?
    ubuntu 15.04
    gtx 970
    fresh install.
    That's mostly what I wanted. And I'm guessing an Intel CPU?

    For the record, I'm running:
    Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
    Intel core i7 3770k @ 4.4GHz, 32GB DDR3, terrible, complicated disk situation dual booting with Windows 8
    GTX Titan

    My nvidia driver version appears to be the following:
    $ cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version 
    NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module  346.96  Sun Aug 23 22:29:21 PDT 2015
    GCC version:  gcc version 4.8.4 (Ubuntu 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04)

    And my cuda version: (apparently it's slightly out of date, the latest is 7.5 I believe)
    $ nvcc --version
    nvcc: NVIDIA (R) Cuda compiler driver
    Copyright (c) 2005-2015 NVIDIA Corporation
    Built on Mon_Feb_16_22:59:02_CST_2015
    Cuda compilation tools, release 7.0, V7.0.27

    I've installed both the cuda driver from the nvidia website here, as well as nvidia's proprietary neural net libraries cudnn, which are NOT required to run Torch. You have to jump through some hoops signing up as a developer to get your hands on them, but other than that they're free. Probably not worth your time, I had torch working perfectly fine on my GPU before I installed them, there was just some other code for image processing that wanted them.

    EDIT: one thought - what does your path look like?

    I have the following in my ~/.profile to set up the path on my system.
    # ~/.profile: executed by the command interpreter for login shells.
    # This file is not read by bash(1), if ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login
    # exists.
    # see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files for examples.
    # the files are located in the bash-doc package.
    
    # the default umask is set in /etc/profile; for setting the umask
    # for ssh logins, install and configure the libpam-umask package.
    #umask 022
    
    # if running bash
    if [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ]; then
        # include .bashrc if it exists
        if [ -f "$HOME/.bashrc" ]; then
            . "$HOME/.bashrc"
        fi
    fi
    
    # guard path manipulation to prevent double prepending by tmux
    if [ "$PATHS" != "true" ]; then
        export PATHS="true"
    
        # set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
        if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then
            PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
        fi
    
        # caffe
        PYTHONPATH=/home/me/private/img/caffe/python:$PYTHONPATH
    
        # CUDA 7.0
        PATH=/usr/local/cuda-7.0/bin:$PATH
        LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-7.0/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
        
        # Added automatically by torch-dist
        PATH=/home/me/private/torch/install/bin:$PATH
        LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/me/private/torch/install/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
        DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/me/private/torch/install/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
    
        export PATH
        export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
        export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
        export PYTHONPATH
    fi
    The final path looks like this:
    /home/me/private/torch/install/bin:/usr/local/cuda-7.0/bin:/home/me/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games
    If you're not familiar with how Linux and bash work, I can try to explain all that in detail. Basically, if you do 'echo $PATH' from a terminal and there isn't something in the output that looks like '/usr/local/cuda-7.something/bin' then something is wrong, and none of the cuda binaries will be available.

    That said, if your issue is that nvcc exists but doesn't want to compile anything for you because it doesn't understand the system, then I highly doubt the fault is with your system path. Though an incorrect LD_LIBRARY_PATH could have something to do with that, I have no idea.

    so I'm stumped as to why I can't install cutorch, kinda
    What's your full system setup, if you don't mind my asking? I mean OS / hardware configuration. It looks like it's having a hard time building nvcc because it thinks you have some bizarre gpu architecture, which is interesting. Have you tried installing Torch without CUDA support to see if that works?
