NATURAL BORN KILLERS A film review by Christopher Kankel Copyright 1994 Christopher Kankel
NATURAL BORN KILLERS is really a very simple story that, in essence, has already been told in BONNIE & CLYDE with some major variations in emphasis, mood and degree. Both films glamorize "outlaws," in one case bank robbers and killers and in the other mass murderers. Both relate the story of a couple liberated by love. But where BONNIE & CLYDE was partial and subtle, NATURAL BORN KILLERS is total and blatant. Where BONNIE & CLYDE was social, NATURAL BORN KILLERS is psychological. What BONNIE & CLYDE hinted at, NATURAL BORN KILLERS confronts and explores. What Bonnie and Clyde stole, Mickey and Mallory kill.
To examine NATURAL BORN KILLERS as nothing more than a psychological odyssey of realization and exposure of the frauds surrounding them, expressed metaphorically as killing, subdues the mysterious power this film wields.  This mythos is at least as old as the Hindu trinity. Brahma created. Vishnu preserved.  The following may be painfully mundane but metaphorically so accurate, I'm forced to say it for clarity's sake: a plumber must remove the old lead and copper pipes, that is, destroy the old plumbing system in order to replace it with the new one made of plastics. Your plumber, Bonnie and Clyde, Mickey and Mallory, and Siva are all productive destroyers.
I think you could say without much of a challenge that religion is responsible for more killing and death, presently and historically, than any other phenomena. Muslims kill Christians.   Jews kill Christians, etc. You could reverse subject and predicate in each instance and still not be challenged. Religion is an orgy of killing. The institution of the State only misses first place for technical reasons like it hasn't been a major player for as long or the two are frequently indistinguishable. "The State is the divine idea upon earth," Hegel said, meaning it is absolute, all-powerful, ineffable, unassailable, infallible, authoritarian and patriarchal just like JHVH, Allah, God, etc.
Well, what does all this have to do with NATURAL BORN KILLERS? Let me first say that religions of this nature, in the ideal, take the place of sex. Consider the Catholic Church, which in its hey-dey, took religion as seriously as any other religion or institution ever. God takes the place of sex as manifested in all those vows of celibacy taken by the Pope, cardinals, bishops, monks, etc. They forego the one, in order to come closer to the other. During the Middle Ages, when this doctrine was unmitigated and unchallenged, the most repressive regime the West has ever known in terms of scope and magnitude rose to power. (Parenthetically, witness Plato as well. In the REPUBLIC, he attempted to launch the first systematic absolutist regime. Not coincidentally he was something of a mystic himself, regularly assailing the passions.) Catholicism, as policy, attacks the passions as evil. It sees intercourse only as a means to perpetuate the species not as a way to pleasure. Masturbation is considered a sin with the sacrament of penance necessary for absolution. This is religion, this is authoritarianism in its essence. As further evidence, the Nazis had the same attitudes as the Church on these matters. Our culture, most of the cultures of the world have been steeped in this tradition for thousands of years. We can't help but adopt, even internalize some of these same authoritarian attitudes, leading to a destructive split between the biological and social self.
Mickey and Mallory Knox internalized them, too, then through spontaneous sexual awareness sparked in each one of them by the presence of the other, discovered them, and began expurgating them from themselves and from the world in the process unifying themselves. It is a straightforward liberation through sex. As some good patriarch once observed, "you can maintain control as long as everyone keeps their clothes on." M&M had a vision of what the world would be like without contradictions. They saw what civilization and culture and everyday life would be like under such conditions. "The moment of realization is worth a thousand prayers," as Mickey says.
As a the most consistent and impassioned critic of Western culture there is Nietzsche applying his typical stridency to the matter: Let us look each other in the face. We are Hyberboreans--we know well enough how remote our place is. "Neither by land nor by water will you find the road to the Hyberboreans": even Pindar, in his day, knew that much about us. Beyond the North, beyond ice, beyond death--our life, our happiness.... We have discovered that happiness; we know the way; we got our knowledge of it from thousands of years in the labyrinth. Who else has found it?--The man of today?--"I don't know either the way out or the way in; I am whatever doesn't know either the way out or the way in"--so sighs the man of today.... This is the sort of modernity that made us ill--we sickened in lazy peace, cowardly compromise, the whole virtuous dirtiness of the modern Yea and Nay. This tolerance and largeur of the heart that "forgives" everything because it "understands" everything is a sirocco to us. Rather live amid the ice than among modern virtues and other such south-winds!
As far as I can tell, this is what the movie has to say. Its alleged critique of the media is only secondary, tertiary, quaternary, subsidiary for sure. For example Wayne Gayle's first report ends with some Gen X dude saying, "If I were a mass murderer I'd be Mickey and Mallory," in his most excellent Bill and Ted voice. On one level you cd make the humdrum observation that because the media had glamorized these two psychopaths that the uncritical, impressionable Gen X dumb guy confused the matter and took them for heroes. It seems more likely that he made an independent judgement at a subconscious level recognizing what M&M were up to and confessing that if he had the balls to be so honest with himself he'd be just like them, killing and destroying what deserves it.
Let me exemplify what I've been saying by analyzing a scene from the film, namely the scene where Mallory fucks the gas station attendant, kills him, and then castigates him for giving her "the worst fuckin' head I've ever had in my life!!!" Now, I never claimed that Mickey and Mallory had a perfect relationship, because demonstrably they didn't, and this scene and the ones leading up to it show us this.  It's no secret that in this scene Mallory fantasized that her victim was Mickey. As the attendant approached he took on Mickey's character in the eyes of Mallory. She needed to kill him because of he kidnapped that girl in the hotel room and was having secret fantasies about her while making love to Mallory. Upon discovery, Mallory views this as a betrayal, judges him, and commutes his sentence on someone else.
The style of the movie is a whole 'nother matter that I won't get into very deeply but surely it is partially responsible for its power. Let me just say that its editing has the opposite effect of a Western with shots that linger forever on a salon entrance or the like suggesting the expansiveness, barreness and boredom of the frontier lifestyle. The rapid succession of all those 8mm, 16mm, 35mm images from various perspectives with a soundtrack sometimes in sync and sometimes out of sink instills a skittish, frenetic mood. Also, Jungian archetypes abound. These can't help but trigger deep psychological responses we can barely understand especially when they flash across the screen for barely a few frames.
Some of the best scenes and lines that come to mind.(quotes are paraphrased only):
Mickey to Mallory: "One of these days I'm gonna be cummin' for you," in prison, while Mallory jacks Mickey off. Semen is a symbol for great potential and things to come.  The two of course go hand in hand. For an even more explicit semen scene see SILENCE OF THE LAMBS.
Mickey during his marriage to Mallory: "As creator of my universe, I pronounce us man and wife." The way Woody delivers this line is truly haunting, but telling, too. It reveals M&M are well on their way to expunging all their destructive tendencies and replacing them with positive ones. This is what Mickey means by "creator of my universe," he is giving himself or creating for himself healthy attitudes. It is not necessarily a schizophrenic retreat into solipsism as it first appears.
Scagnetti's first meeting with Mallory is through her pubic hair he plucks from the gas station attendant's mouth.
The Indian Sage releasing Mallory's father, who was reincarnated as a snake: "Old man, go be a snake," after telling his "snake story" that ends with "Bitch, you knew I was a snake."
After Mickey shoots this sage to death during a bewildering nightmare, Mallory says, "You killed LIFE!!!" This is another telling quote because it implies they didn't see themselves as killers of life. Then what were they killing up to that time? In some case just those zombies faking their way through life, the living dead, as it were. In other cases, all the anti-life forces, the cops and their parents.
The butterfly just before the movie shifts into the prison. It of course symbolizes rebirth.
Dr. Emil Reingold, as portrayed by Steven Wright, passing judgement on M&M: "Mickey and Mallory know the difference between right and wrong, they just don't give a damn." This is reminiscent of Nietzsche's whole philosophy, and maybe a direct reference to his BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL.
Mickey: "The rabbit says the moment of realization is worth 1000 prayers."
Mickey (again in his interview): "Me and you, we are not the same species."
Notice when the escape is in progress we get some role reversals in terms of leadership and control. Mickey the prisoner becomes the leader of his little gang. The wardens become prisoners and the civilians like Wayne Gayle and his producer follow the leader, no matter who it is.
Mickey: How ya feelin'?  Mickey: You got the feelin'? Wayne: I'm alive. I'm alive for the first fuckin' time!
What an incredible transformation this is. He got the feeling and he couldn't contain himself. What a feeling. That feeling of metaphysical freedom that you can create your own universe.
Mickey when almost caught in a dead end, "Think, think, think, think." Go figure it out.
 His whole attitude can be summed up with, "Destroy them!!!"
On a scale of 1 to 10 years hard time: 10

Congratulation, you've just created a new Scala Play application. This page will help you in the few next steps.
The conf/routes file defines a route that tell play to invoke the Application.index action when a browser requests the / URI using the GET method:
# Application home page
GET / Application.index
So play has invoked the controllers.Application.index method:
package controllers
object Application {
def index = Template
}
}
The action returns a Template value, so it asks play to display a template. By convention play has displayed the app/views/Application/index.html template:
#{extends 'main.html' /}
#{set title:'Home' /}
#{welcome /}
This template extends the app/views/main.html, and uses the #{welcome /} tag to display this welcome page.
You can start right now to hack your application using any text editor. Any changes will be automatically realoaded at the next page refresh, including modifications made to Scala sources files.
If you want to set up your application in Eclipse, Netbeans or any other Java IDE, check the Setting up your preferred IDE page.
You can quickly set up a developement database (either in memory or written to the filesystem), by adding one of these lines to the conf/application.conf file:
# For a transient in memory database (H2 in memory)
db=mem
# for a simple file written database (H2 file stored)
db=fs
If you want to connect to an existing MySQL5 server, use:
db=mysql:user:pwd@database_name
If you need to connect to another JDBC compliant database, first add the corresponding driver library to the lib/ directory of your application, and add these lines to the conf/application.conf file:
db.url=jdbc:postgresql:database_name
db.driver=org.postgresql.Driver
db.user=root
db.pass=secret
When your application run in DEV mode, you can access directly the current documentation at the /@documentation URL or go to http://www.playframework.org.
The Scala specific documentation is available at /@documentation/modules/scala/home
The Play Google Group is where Play users come to seek help, announce projects, and discuss.
If you don't have any google account, you can still join the mailing list sending an email to
play-framework+subscribe@googlegroups.com.

Your users can add your site to the homescreen even without any special code on your end, but we recommend to have your web app display without the browser UI when launched from the homescreen (effectively going fullscreen). Add the following code to the This will tell both Mobile Safari and Chrome for Android that they’re dealing with a web app. Internet Explorer doesn’t require instructions for this, as sites open fullscreen in Windows’ start screen experience from the get-go. To make your site stand out, be sure to provide a beautiful, full size icon, otherwise the favicon or a low quality screenshot may be used. Add the following code to your In this example, Chrome, Safari and Opera use the 228x228px icon, which is scaled to the necessary size by the device. Both Chrome and Safari use the Windows 8’ new home screen experience supports four different layouts for pinned sites, and requires four icons. You can leave out the relevant meta tags if you don’t want to support a specific size. You can specify explicit sizes by providing a separate link tag for each icon, preventing the OS from having to resize the icon: Internet Explorer and Safari allow you to specify a custom title that is used as app name next to or on top of your icon. Add this code to your head All three browsers use the default Note The following are customizations that are very useful, but work only in a subset of browsers. All of them are optional but strongly suggested, as they further enhance the app experience. Safari allows you to style the status bar and specify a startup image. By default, Safari shows a blank screen during load time and after multiple loads a screenshot of the previous state of the app. You can prevent this by telling Safari to show an explicit startup image, by adding a link tag, with The image has to be in the specific size of the target device’s screen or it won’t be used. Refer to Safari Web Content Guidelines for further details. While Apple’s documentation is sparse on this topic, the developer community has figured out a way to target all devices by using advanced media queries to select the appropriate device and then specify the correct image. Here’s a working solution, courtesy of tfausak’s gist: You can change the appearance of the default status bar to either And here is a preview of how the different modes look: Microsoft’s "Pinned Sites" and their rotating "Live Tiles" go far beyond other implementations and covering them here would blow up this guide. If you’d like to learn more, learn how to create live tiles at MSDN. Sometimes it’s useful to know whether the app is launched from the home screen vs. the web browser. Sometimes it’s useful to know whether the app is launched from the home screen vs. the web browser. To demonstrate one use case, you might want to show a banner suggesting to install the app to the users’ home screen when he arrives from the browser, but hide it once installed. In Mobile Safari, querying Unfortunately, it is not possible to detect the same in Chrome for Android. Let's take all that we discussed and bring it into one big form. Our own Web Starter Kit includes support for the most common options and is great as starting point, but if you are curious as to how a more complete implementation looks like, here’s the portion of the The Geolocation API lets you find out where the user is, always with the user's consent. This functionality could be used as part of user queries, for example, to guide someone to a destination point. It could also be used for 'geo-tagging' some content the user has created, for example, to mark where a photo was taken. The API is device-agnostic; it doesn’t care how the browser determines location, so long as clients can request and receive location data in a standard way. The underlying mechanism might be via GPS, wifi, or simply asking the user to enter their location manually. Since any of these lookups is going to take some time, the API is asynchronous; you pass it a callback method whenever you request a location. The geolocation API is now supported in the majority of browsers, but it is good practice to always check for support before you do anything. You can easily check for compatibility by testing for the presence of the geolocation object: The geolocation API offers a simple ‘one-shot’ method to obtain the user’s location If this is the first time an application on this domain has requested permissions, the browser will typically check for user consent. Depending on the browser, there may also be preferences to always allow - or disallow - permission lookups, in which case the confirmation process will be bypassed. Depending on the location device your browser is using, the position object might actually contain a lot more than just latitude and longitude, for example, it could include an altitude or a direction. You can’t tell what extra information that location system will use until it actually returns the data. When working with HTML5 geolocation support in an application, it can be useful to debug the output received when using different values for longitude and latitude. The DevTools support both overriding position values for navigator.geolocation and simulating geolocation not being available via the overrides menu.
Unfortunately, not all location lookups are successful. Perhaps a GPS could not be located or the user has suddenly disabled location lookups. A second, optional, argument to For many use-cases you don’t need to use the most up to date location of the user, you just need a rough estimate. Use the Unless you set a timeout, your request to get the current position might never return. If you want to find the nearest store to a user it is unlikely that you need 1 meter precision to work that out. The API is designed to give a coarse location that returns as quickly as possible. If you do need high-precision it is possible to override the default setting with the The Geolocation API lets you watch where the user is and keep tabs on them as they move around, always with the user's consent. The API is device-agnostic; it doesn’t care how the browser determines location, so long as clients can request and receive location data in a standard way. The underlying mechanism might be via GPS, wifi. Since any of these lookups is going to take some time, the API is asynchronous; you pass it a callback method whenever you request a location. The Geolocation API allows you to obtain the user’s location (with user consent) with a single call to If you want to continually monitor the location of the user, the geolocation API has a method called Watching for changes to a geolocation is not a free operation. Whilst operating systems might be introducing platform features to let applications hook in to the geo subsystem, you as a web developer have no idea what support the user’s device has for monitoring the user’s location and whilst you are watching a position you are engaging the device in a lot of extra processing Once you have no need to track the user’s position call Unfortunately, not all location lookups are successful. Perhaps a GPS could not be located or the user has suddenly disabled location lookups. A second, optional, argument to getCurrentPosition() will be called in the event of an error, so you can notify the user inside the callback: As a web developer, having access to the user's location opens up a huge number of possibilities such as advanced filtering, pinpointing the user on a map, and offering pro-active suggestions on things the user can do based on their current position.  This is why the browser shows a prompt when a site asks for your location. Recent user studies have shown that users are distrustful of sites that simply prompt the user to give away their position on page load. So what are the best practices? It might be a pain, but many of your users will not want to give you their location so you need to adopt a defensive development style. Our recommendation is to not tie your site or application in to requiring access to the user’s current location, but if your application or site absolutely requires it there are 3rd party solutions that allow you to obtain a best guess of where the person currently is. These solutions often work by looking at the user’s IP address and mapping that to the physical addresses registered with the RIPE database. These locations are often not very accurate normally giving you a position of the nearest telecommunications hub to the user, or the nearest cell phone tower. In many cases, they might not even be that accurate, especially if the user is on VPN or some other proxy service. Make sure users understand why you’re asking for their location, and what the benefit to them will be. Asking for it immediately on the homepage as the site loads results in a poor user experience. Instead you should give the user a clear call-to-action or an indication that an operation will require access to their location. The user will then be able to more easily associate the system prompt for access with the action just initiated. In a study by the Google Ads team, when a user was asked to book a hotel room in Boston for an upcoming conference on one particular hotels site, they were prompted to share their GPS location immediately after tapping the ‘Find and Book’ call-to-action on the homepage. In some cases, the user became frustrated because they struggled to understand why they were being shown hotels in San Francisco when they wanted to book a room in Boston. A better experience is to make sure users understands why you’re asking them for location. Add in a well known signifier that is common across devices, such as range finder.
Or consider a very explicit call to action such as "Find Near Me."
You don’t have access to any of the steps of what users are doing. You know exactly when the users disallow access to their location, but you don’t know when they grant you access; you only know you obtained access when results appear. It is good practice to "tickle" the user into action if you need them to complete the action. We recommend: On devices with phone capabilities, make it easy for users to directly connect with you by simply tapping a phone number, more commonly known as click to call. While many modern mobile browsers will automatically detect phone numbers and convert them to links, it’s a good idea to do this directly in your code. By manually tagging each phone number, you can ensure phone numbers are always enabled for click to call and that they will be styled to match your site. To mark a phone number as a link, use the Results in: NIST Telephone Time-of-Day Service +1<PHONE_NUMBER>
On most devices with telephone capabilities, the user will receive a confirmation before the number is dialed, to ensure users are not being tricked into calling expensive long distance or premium phone numbers. When the device doesn’t support phone calls, users may be presented with a menu allowing them to choose how the browser should handle the number. Desktop browsers that don’t support voice calls will open the default telephony app on the computer, for example Google Voice or Microsoft Communicator. Always supply the phone number using the international dialing format: the plus sign (+), country code, area code and number. While not absolutely necessary, it’s a good idea to separate each segment of the number with a hyphen (-) for easier reading and better auto-detection. Using a hyphenated international dialing format ensures that no matter where the user is calling from, whether a few hundred meters away or thousands of kilometers, their call will be connected. Modern mobile browsers will automatically detect phone numbers and enable click to call. Mobile Safari automatically converts phone numbers to links with the associated hyperlink styles. Chrome for Android will automatically detect phone numbers and will allow users to click to call, but does not wrap them in hyperlinks or apply any special styles. To prevent Mobile Safari from automatically detecting phone numbers, add the following meta tag to the top of the page: In addition to the The device orientation event returns rotation data, which includes how much the device is leaning front-to-back, side-to-side and if the phone or laptop has a compass, the direction the device is facing. There are several uses for device orientation events. For example: To listen for The device orientation event fires when the device moves, or changes orientation. It returns data about the difference between the device in its current position in relation to the Earth coordinate frame. The event typically returns three properties, Device motion provides information about force of acceleration being applied to the device at a given moment, and the rate of rotation. There are several uses for device motion events. For example: To listen for The device motion event fires on a regular interval and returns data about the rotation (in ° per second) and acceleration (in m per second2) of the device, at that moment in time. Some devices do not have the hardware to exclude the effect of gravity. The event returns four properties, For example, let’s take a look at a phone, lying on a flat table, with its screen facing up. Conversely, if the phone were held so the screen was perpendicular to the ground, and was directly visible to the viewer: One way to use device motion events is to calculate the maximum acceleration of an object. For example, what’s the maximum acceleration of a person jumping. After tapping the Go! button, the user is told to jump! During that time, the page stores the maximum (and minimum) acceleration values, and after the jump, tells the user their maximum acceleration.agenda

User Location
Obtain the user's current location
When to use Geolocation
Check for Compatibility
// check for Geolocation support
if (navigator.geolocation) {
console.log('Geolocation is supported!');
}
else {
console.log('Geolocation is not supported for this Browser/OS version yet.');
}
Determine the User’s Current Location
getCurrentPosition()
. A call to this method will asynchronously report on the user’s current location.window.onload = function() {
var startPos;
var geoSuccess = function(position) {
startPos = position;
document.getElementById('startLat').innerHTML = startPos.coords.latitude;
document.getElementById('startLon').innerHTML = startPos.coords.longitude;
};
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(geoSuccess);
};
Testing Geolocation with your site
Always Handle Errors
getCurrentPosition()
will be called in the event of an error, so you can notify the user inside the callback:window.onload = function() {
var startPos;
var geoSuccess = function(position) {
startPos = position;
document.getElementById('startLat').innerHTML = startPos.coords.latitude;
document.getElementById('startLon').innerHTML = startPos.coords.longitude;
};
var geoError = function(position) {
console.log('Error occurred. Error code: ' + error.code);
// error.code can be:
// 0: unknown error
// 1: permission denied
// 2: position unavailable (error response from location provider)
// 3: timed out
};
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(geoSuccess, geoError);
};
Reduce the need to start-up geo location hardware
maximumAge
optional property to tell the browser to use a recently obtained geolocation result. This not only returns quicker if the user has requested the data before it also stops the browser from having to start up its geolocation hardware interfaces such as Wifi triangulation or the GPS.window.onload = function() {
var startPos;
var geoOptions = {
maximumAge: 5 * 60 * 1000,
}
var geoSuccess = function(position) {
startPos = position;
document.getElementById('startLat').innerHTML = startPos.coords.latitude;
document.getElementById('startLon').innerHTML = startPos.coords.longitude;
};
var geoError = function(position) {
console.log('Error occurred. Error code: ' + error.code);
// error.code can be:
// 0: unknown error
// 1: permission denied
// 2: position unavailable (error response from location provider)
// 3: timed out
};
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(geoSuccess, geoError, geoOptions);
};
Don’t keep the user waiting, set a timeout
window.onload = function() {
var startPos;
var geoOptions = {
timeout: 10 * 1000
}
var geoSuccess = function(position) {
startPos = position;
document.getElementById('startLat').innerHTML = startPos.coords.latitude;
document.getElementById('startLon').innerHTML = startPos.coords.longitude;
};
var geoError = function(error) {
console.log('Error occurred. Error code: ' + error.code);
// error.code can be:
// 0: unknown error
// 1: permission denied
// 2: position unavailable (error response from location provider)
// 3: timed out
};
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(geoSuccess, geoError, geoOptions);
};
Prefer a coarse location over a fine grained location
enableHighAccuracy
option. Use this sparingly: it will be slower to resolve and use more battery.window.onload = function() {
var startPos;
var geoOptions = {
enableHighAccuracy: true
}
var geoSuccess = function(position) {
startPos = position;
document.getElementById('startLat').innerHTML = startPos.coords.latitude;
document.getElementById('startLon').innerHTML = startPos.coords.longitude;
};
var geoError = function(error) {
console.log('Error occurred. Error code: ' + error.code);
// error.code can be:
// 0: unknown error
// 1: permission denied
// 2: position unavailable (error response from location provider)
// 3: timed out
};
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(geoSuccess, geoError, geoOptions);
};
Monitor the user's location
When to use Geolocation to watch the user’s location
Watching the users location
getCurrentPosition()
.watchPosition()
. It operates in a similar way to getCurrentPosition()
yet it will fire multiple times as the positioning software:var watchId = navigator.geolocation.watchPosition(function(position) {
document.getElementById('currentLat').innerHTML = position.coords.latitude;
document.getElementById('currentLon').innerHTML = position.coords.longitude;
});
Always clear up and conserve battery
clearWatch
to turn of the geolocation systems.Always Handle Errors
window.onload = function() {
var startPos;
var geoSuccess = function(position) {
startPos = position;
document.getElementById('startLat').innerHTML = startPos.coords.latitude;
document.getElementById('startLon').innerHTML = startPos.coords.longitude;
};
var geoError = function(position) {
console.log('Error occurred. Error code: ' + error.code);
// error.code can be:
// 0: unknown error
// 1: permission denied
// 2: position unavailable (error response from location provider)
// 3: timed out
};
navigator.geolocation.watchPosition(geoSuccess, geoError);
};
Getting the user to consent to location sharing
Assume users will not give you their location
Use a fallback if geolocation is required
Always request access to location on a user gesture
Give clear indication that an action will request their location
Gently nudge users to grant permission to their location
button.onclick = function() {
var startPos;
var element = document.getElementById("nudge");
var showNudgeBanner = function() {
nudge.style.display = "block";
};
var hideNudgeBanner = function() {
nudge.style.display = "none";
};
var nudgeTimeoutId = setTimeout(showNudgeBanner, 5000);
var geoSuccess = function(position) {
hideNudeBanner();
// We have the location, don't display banner
clearTimeout(nudgeTimeoutId);
// Do magic with location
startPos = position;
document.getElementById('startLat').innerHTML = startPos.coords.latitude;
document.getElementById('startLon').innerHTML = startPos.coords.longitude;
};
var geoError = function(error) {
switch(error.code) {
case error.TIMEOUT:
// The user didn't accept the callout
showNudgeBanner();
break;
};
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(geoSuccess, geoError);
};

Utterance lets you use Speech to Text in your Android Titanium projects. This uses android.speech.RecognizerIntent on Android.
var utterance = require('bencoding.utterance');
The Speech to Text proxy uses Android's underlying speech recognizer to convert speech into text. A new instance of this is created when you call createSpeechToText.
Example
var speech = utterance.createSpeechToText();
The startSpeechToText method will begin to listen to the user and recognize speech..
Parameters
The startSpeechToText method, takes a dictionary as a parameter with the following fields:
promptText : String :Required
The text of the message displayed on the Android recording screen.
maxResults : Int :Optional
The max number of matching results returned by the speech recognizer.
languageModel : Property :Optional
The language model used by the speech recognizer. The parameter uses properties on the speechToText proxy.
The value options are:
This method sets the speech pitch for the SpeechToText engine.
Example
if(!speechToText.isSupport()){
Ti.API.info("Your device does not support Speech to Text");
return;
}
speechToText.startSpeechToText({
promptText:"Say something interesting",
maxResults: 10,
languageModel : speechToText.LANGUAGE_MODEL_WEB_SEARCH
});
This method provides a boolean return if Speech to Text is support by the device.
Parameters
None
Example
if(speech.isSupport() === false){
Ti.API.info("Your device does not support Speech to Text");
}
started
This event is fired once the speech recognizer has started listening
Example
var utterance = require('bencoding.utterance'),
speech2Text = utterance.createSpeechToText();
speech2Text.addEventListener('started',function(d){
Ti.API.info(JSON.stringify(d));
});
completed
This event is fired once the speech recognizer has finished listening and has created text from the user's speech
Example
var utterance = require('bencoding.utterance'),
speech2Text = utterance.createSpeechToText();
speech2Text.addEventListener('completed',function(d){
Ti.API.info(JSON.stringify(d));
});
LANGUAGE_MODEL_WEB_SEARCH
This property can be used when setting the languageModel value for the startSpeechToText method. Use a language model based on web search terms.
LANGUAGE_MODEL_FREE_FORM
This property can be used when setting the languageModel value for the startSpeechToText method. Use a language model based on free-form speech recognition.

Efficient distributed key generation for threshold signatures
Mahnush Movahedi
Threshold signatures
Threshold signature schemes are schemes where n parties and at least t are necessary and sufficient for signing. They want to make sure that t parties are necessary. Any threshold signature scheme typically has 3 protocols: key generation, signing, and verifying.
In key generation, one party creates a group public key as an output. Also, for each node that participates in the protocol, the protocol should output a secret key. In a signing phase, each party should sign a message with its own secret key. In a verification phase, the verifier should be able to gather all the signatures from all the parties. If they don’t send the signature, it can be an empty signature. Using the group public key, he should be able to verify if the signature on the message is correct.
Non-interactive protocols
I want to talk about non-interactiveness is important. This talk is about distributed key generation which is non-interactive. Non-interactive means we are only going to have one round in the protocol. It’s important because generally you only create keys once, and then everyone goes home and everyone might sign multiple times. Also, not everyone might be online at the same time. A non-interactive scheme is important in this scenario so that not everyone needs to be online and synchronized at the same time.
Another interesting point for a non-interactive scheme is that most of the non-interactive protocols can be publicly verifiable which is another good property. Later, if the nodes are not available anymore to do the verification then anybody in the network can do the verification instead.
So that’s the motivation for why we are looking into non-interactive key generation.
Why threshold signature schemes?
Threshold signature schemes have many applications.
The first application was even before cryptographers thinking about cryptography. The first application was for democracy. They decided that instead of having only one person sign a bill, they would choose a group and if a threshold of this group or a fraction of them signed a bill then we would assume the bill is passed. Later, the threshold signature scheme was used for voting-based consensus protocols. Instead of everybody trusting only one person to help them reach agreement, they work together and so they sign the block or the value they want together and if a fraction of them or a threshold of them agree on a block then they assume it’s accepted and decided.
Another nice application of threshold signature scheme is creating random numbers. If this threshold signature scheme have this property, then it can be used as a random beacon. It requires a signature scheme with a uniqueness property. The signature is unique and uniformly chosen from the group. It’s a good random value that is unpredictable. You can sign this random value again and it’s unpredictable again. Random beacons are really useful tools in distributed computing in general.
Trivial threshold signature scheme
Let’s try to create a trivial threshold signature scheme. The first step is to do distributed key generation. Before doing that, let’s see how the keys are really used. Very trivial threshold signature scheme is that each party creates a public and secret key, then use a well-defined signature scheme to sign independently. For the verification, if some of them have a valid signature on the message then you consider it a valid signature as a group on the signature. This is correct, but it’s not an efficient scheme.
It’s inefficient because group public key size is O(n), and signature size is O(t) and verifier should verify O(t) individual signatures. Can we combine the signatures to make them shorter and to make the verifier verify less data and to reduce messages over the network?
Secret sharing
One way to do the distributed key sharing is to use secret sharing. Keys generally are secrets. Assume that in a secret sharing scheme, there’s one secret we want to share among n parties such that t of them are necessary and sufficient to reconstruct a secret. Here, it’s very important that less than t people can gather together but they can’t learn any information about the secret. So it has a complete secrecy property.
The first secret sharing scheme was introduced by Shamir and it’s called Shamir’s secret sharing scheme. It’s based on polynomials. If you have a polynomial of degree t - 1 then you can assume f(0) of the polynomial is your secret. You can choose the coefficients of the polynomial randomly, and create a polynomial of the .. over …. t points are necessary and sufficient to reconstruct the polynomial and the secret. Up to t points reveals no information about the secret so it has perfect secrecy.
(t,n)-secret sharing scheme is based on Shamir’s secret sharing scheme. Say we choose points on a random polynomial. We send one point to each party. Each party has one point on the polynomial. Later in the reconstruction phase, some of them come together and reconstruct the polynomial and the secret. A signature in this scheme has secrecy because less than t shares carry no information.
From secret sharing to key generation
Threshold signatures requires key generation. Use secret sharing to create a master public key and a set of partial signing keys. Assume there’s a public key and an associated secret key for the group. Then we can share the secret key for the group. Say we have an oracle and this oracle is trusted, then he can create a public key and an associated secret key for the group and he can share the group secret key to the group. This sharing happens once. And then later people can come together and sign at different times.
But oracles are not real. We cannot trust a single party to do this sharing phase for us. We wanted to avoid that. We wanted a decentralized system. We want to go from distributed key generation step by step.
Securing distributed key generation step by step
Since one dealer is not trusted, we need multiple dealers. We need a verifiable secret sharing scheme. Then we can assume that the DKG is multiple instances of verifiable secret sharing. We need verifiable secret sharing to prevent adversarial dealers.
All the nodes agree on the commitment on the polynomial. We can’t put shares on the chain. We have to encrypt the shares and put them on the chain. So now we have a polynomial, we have points on the polynomial, we encrypt the points with the secret keys of the parties, we commit to the polynomial, and we put everything on the blockchain. Still this isn’t enough because the encryption and the commitment may be completely on different polynomials. A dishonest dealer might commit to something but encrypt something else. So we have to have a proof that if I have an encrypted share, then this share opens to a correct point on the committed polynomial. So we use a zero-knowledge proof for that.
The dealer creates a polynomial. He commits to the coefficients of the polynomial. He has to encrypt the share. The way he decides to encrypt the shares, because later we want to use a zero-knowledge proof on the shares, we chunk the shares and use exponential ElGamal encryption of each chunk. A zero-knowledge proof can prove that if you can decypher the ciphertext then the encryption is going to be a point on the committed polynomial.
Distributed key generation again
Up to this point, I only talked about verifiable secret sharing. But how can we go from verifiable secret sharing to distributed key generation? The next step is how to have multiple dealers. To have multiple dealers, we can repeat the same procedure for each dealer. Now they receive multiple shares, and then we can add the shares to each other. Since Shamir secret sharing has homomorphic property, then the addition works here for us.
We have polynomials. If you have a polynomial and add it to another polynomial the result is a polynomial of the same degree. It’s very simple. But now if I have a random polynomial and add it to a non-random polynomial, the result is a random polynomial. Why is this true? Nobody can guess my first random polynomial so nobody can guess what is the result of the addition.
Assume I have two dealers. The first dealer chooses a secret and he is honest. A second dealer has another secret and he is dishonest. So now I have public key and s1 for the honest people. And I have public key 2 and secret 2 for the dishonest player. The secret key of each party is a corresponding point– the addition of the corresponding points of the polynomials. This way, I can have multiple dealers. If I have enough dealers, I can make sure that at least one of them is honest and created the correct random polynomial and this way I can make sure the public key and secret key is going to be random. The small secret keys are also random.
Rushing adversary attack
So far, we don’t know. There’s an attack on this protocol usually called a rushing adversary attack where the adversary waits until it sees all the public keys before choosing his own. The resulting group public key is then not random.
DKG under the presence of rushing adversary
These kinds of attacks happen on other DKGs before. Gennaro et al proved that a similar scheme which is a discrete log based DKG protocol cannot produce a uniform public key. They show that this attack holds. They also have a solution for that problem. They solved that problem and created a new DKG protocol that is producing correct random output. The problem is that the new scheme is not non-interactive, it has an additional round. The original protocol had 3 rounds and they were only requiring one additional round. But for us we’re looking for a non-interactive protocol.
There’s another interesting observation as well. They also observed that some of the discrete log crypto systems remain secure despite a non-uniform public keys. So similarly, we investigated BLS threshold siganture scheme and it seems to remain secure when using our non-interactive distributed key generation protocol which creates a non-random public key in the presence of a random oracle model and CDH oracles.
Rushing attack, not a problem
Here’s the intuition behind the proof. It’s similar to Gennaro et al.’s proof. Threshold signature reduces to d signature scheme,s where d is the number of dealers. To break the scheme, adversary has to break d individual signature schemes. But, at least one of the dealers is honest.
Our BLS threshold signature scheme can be reduced to multiple instances of a single signature scheme (not a threshold signature scheme).
Performance
The cost per dealer was analyzed for bulletproofs, bulletproofs with optimization, and SNARKs. We looked at bandwidth, prover computation, and verifier computation.
The bandwidth for bulletproofs is 174 kilobytes. Bulletproofs with optimization is 27 kilobytes, but the prover and verifier time is going to be much higher. Verifier computation is 13 minutes in that case, compared to 11.5 seconds with 174 kilobyte bulletproofs. With a SNARK, it takes 32 kilobytes and prover computation takes up to an hour while verification takes 6 milliseconds.


You think that having a secret identity is important to protect your friends and family from harm.
Your powers were gained through scientific means, such as falling into a vat of toxic waste, being bitten by a radioactive arachnid or good old fashioned evolution.

You're looking for a team that functions as a family, not a business.
The public doesn't trust you, and some would even say they hate and fear you for your powers.
You're in the superhero business to make money, and people will have to poney up if they want you to keep a giant robot from crushing their building.
You would rather fight crime block-by-block instead of going out to save the world every morning.
You're more of an outsider, but you're looking for a group of people who can lend a hand when needed.
You believe that magic is real no matter what those eggheads may say, and you maybe even got your powers from it.
You find that your powers make you superior to everyone else, and you're therefore not beholden to silly things like 'laws' or 'morality.'

Qualified IT specialist for application development to-be
Welcome to my website! I am born on 19.09.1998 in Cologne, Germany. Since my childhood I am a big fan of electronics and programming. After exploring the world of LEGO® (NXT Mindstorm) I was unstoppable in gaining informations. I started hosting different game server i.e Minecraft, Arma2 & Arma3. I love to create content for others, especially when they like it! On my way to grow up, I earned a lot of experience in school and the rest of the days. I mostly was interested in gaming and programming except learning for school, my fault. Today I don't regret this mistakes, because I learned a lot about life and society and won't take my future as easy as my time in school.
After finishing secondary school, I wasn't sure what comes next. So I decided to join a "Game Development Basic" course. I thought it was a good beginning for getting used to programming. I created different games with Pico-8 a beginners tool for simple LUA programming. Later on we was introduced to Unity 5.5 a very powerfull toolbox. If u want to play some, see my projects.

Decentralized applications are meant to be more than derivative markets and yield-farms for the upper-middle class to play with.
The ease of usage of dApps has improved steadily over the past few years. A litany of Web3 wallets like Metamask and Trustwallet are installed on millions of browsers, and their usage is climbing.
When creating Sarcophagus, we wanted to keep a few megatrends in mind. One of the most important trends of our era is the shift from conventional warfare to digital. During the Cold War, superpowers fought by displaying military might and funding small proxy wars. In the late 20th century through today, superpowers wage wars against specific ideologies.
As we enter the next phase of human warfare, we will see a shift in power dynamics from use of raw materials and human labor to human creativity and innovation.
Human innovation has forever advanced warfare, and individuals like Mikhail Kalashnikov and John Browning have invented weapons that thrive today largely unchanged.
We'd like to think that the world in which Kalashnikov invented the AK-47 (1947) or when Browning released the M1911 (1911) was wildly different from the world we live in today.
But we’d be wrong.
We may have more powerful weapons, global air travel, and instant communications, but the driving forces behind these innovations haven’t changed. We still experience the same strife, hunger and subjugation.
Our goal in creating Sarcophagus is to hand back a little bit of power to the person with nothing more than an internet connection. We want the creative forces of warfare to err in favor of the individual, and we believe that the power of decentralization mixed with strong cryptography is the best way to achieve this goal.
Stuxnet was a masterpiece, and it was unveiled to the public in 2010 - the same year Instagram was founded and the iPhone 4 was released. The tech world has changed a lot since then, and so has the crypto landscape.
Since digital warfare does not require the same natural resources or financial expenditures as traditional warfare, we expect a playing field that is more egalitarian than the military powers of the late 20th century. Digital weapons are created, bought, and sold in a different type of market than before. Digital arms don’t get delivered by transport plane stamped with a country of origin; they move anonymously on the dark web.
We think of Sarcophagus as a tool in a personal digital arsenal. It may not hold the same significance as the rifle on a soldier’s back; but neither does a cellphone. They are both important tools that are owned by billions.

Quick Start¶
This tutorial will teach the basics of deep learning (DL), including how to implement many different models in PaddlePaddle. You will learn how to:
- Prepare data into the standardized format that PaddlePaddle accepts.
- Write data providers that read data into PaddlePaddle.
- Configure neural networks in PaddlePaddle layer by layer.
- Train models.
- Perform inference with trained models.
Install¶
To get started, please install PaddlePaddle on your computer. Throughout this tutorial, you will learn by implementing different DL models for text classification.
To install PaddlePaddle, please follow the instructions here: Build and Install.
Overview¶
For the first step, you will use PaddlePaddle to build a text classification system. For example, suppose you run an e-commence website, and you want to analyze the sentiment of user reviews to evaluate product quality.
For example, given the input
This monitor is fantastic.
Your classifier should output “positive”, since this text snippet shows that the user is satisfied with the product. Given this input:
The monitor breaks down two months after purchase.
the classifier should output “negative“.
To build your text classification system, your code will need to perform five steps:
- Preprocess data into a standardized format.
- Provide data to the learning model.
- Specify the neural network structure.
- Train the model.
- Inference (make prediction on test examples).
- Preprocess data into standardized format
- In the text classification example, you will start with a text file with one training example per line. Each line contains category id (in machine learning, often denoted the target y), followed by the input text (often denoted x); these two elements are separated by a Tab. For example:
positive [tab] This monitor is fantastic
. You will preprocess this raw data into a format that Paddle can use.
- In the text classification example, you will start with a text file with one training example per line. Each line contains category id (in machine learning, often denoted the target y), followed by the input text (often denoted x); these two elements are separated by a Tab. For example:
- Provide data to the learning model.
- You can write data providers in Python. For any required data preprocessing step, you can add the preprocessing code to the PyDataProvider Python file.
- In our text classification example, every word or character will be converted into an integer id, specified in a dictionary file. It perform a dictionary lookup in PyDataProvider to get the id.
- Specify neural network structure. (From easy to hard, we provide 4 kinds of network configurations)
- A logistic regression model.
- A word embedding model.
- A convolutional neural network model.
- A sequential recurrent neural network model.
- You will also learn different learning algorithms.
- Training model.
- Inference.
Preprocess data into standardized format¶
In this example, you are going to use Amazon electronic product review dataset to build a bunch of deep neural network models for text classification. Each text in this dataset is a product review. This dataset has two categories: “positive” and “negative”. Positive means the reviewer likes the product, while negative means the reviewer does not like the product.
demo/quick_start
in the source code provides script for downloading the preprocessed data as shown below. (If you want to process the raw data, you can use the script demo/quick_start/data/proc_from_raw_data/get_data.sh
).
cd demo/quick_start
./data/get_data.sh
Transfer Data to Model¶
Write Data Provider with Python¶
The following dataprovider_bow.py
gives a complete example of writing data provider with Python. It includes the following parts:
- initalizer： define the additional meta-data of the data provider and the types of the input data.
- process： Each
yield
returns a data sample. In this case, it return the text representation and category id. The order of features in the returned result needs to be consistent with the definition of the input types ininitalizer
.
from paddle.trainer.PyDataProvider2 import *
# id of the word not in dictionary
UNK_IDX = 0
# initializer is called by the framework during initialization.
# It allows the user to describe the data types and setup the
# necessary data structure for later use.
# `settings` is an object. initializer need to properly fill settings.input_types.
# initializer can also store other data structures needed to be used at process().
# In this example, dictionary is stored in settings.
# `dictionay` and `kwargs` are arguments passed from trainer_config.lr.py
def initializer(settings, dictionary, **kwargs):
# Put the word dictionary into settings
settings.word_dict = dictionary
# setting.input_types specifies what the data types the data provider
# generates.
settings.input_types = [
# The first input is a sparse_binary_vector,
# which means each dimension of the vector is either 0 or 1. It is the
# bag-of-words (BOW) representation of the texts.
sparse_binary_vector(len(dictionary)),
# The second input is an integer. It represents the category id of the
# sample. 2 means there are two labels in the dataset.
# (1 for positive and 0 for negative)
integer_value(2)]
# Delaring a data provider. It has an initializer 'data_initialzer'.
# It will cache the generated data of the first pass in memory, so that
# during later pass, no on-the-fly data generation will be needed.
# `setting` is the same object used by initializer()
# `file_name` is the name of a file listed train_list or test_list file given
# to define_py_data_sources2(). See trainer_config.lr.py.
@provider(init_hook=initializer, cache=CacheType.CACHE_PASS_IN_MEM)
def process(settings, file_name):
# Open the input data file.
with open(file_name, 'r') as f:
# Read each line.
for line in f:
# Each line contains the label and text of the comment, separated by \t.
label, comment = line.strip().split('\t')
# Split the words into a list.
words = comment.split()
# convert the words into a list of ids by looking them up in word_dict.
word_vector = [settings.word_dict.get(w, UNK_IDX) for w in words]
# Return the features for the current comment. The first is a list
# of ids representing a 0-1 binary sparse vector of the text,
# the second is the integer id of the label.
yield word_vector, int(label)
Define Python Data Provider in Configuration files.¶
You need to add a data provider definition define_py_data_sources2
in our network configuration. This definition specifies:
- The path of the training and testing data (
data/train.list
,data/test.list
). - The location of the data provider file (
dataprovider_bow
). - The function to call to get data. (
process
). - Additional arguments or data. Here it passes the path of word dictionary.
from paddle.trainer_config_helpers import *
file = "data/dict.txt"
word_dict = dict()
with open(dict_file, 'r') as f:
for i, line in enumerate(f):
w = line.strip().split()[0]
word_dict[w] = i
# define the data sources for the model.
# We need to use different process for training and prediction.
# For training, the input data includes both word IDs and labels.
# For prediction, the input data only includs word Ids.
define_py_data_sources2(train_list='data/train.list',
test_list='data/test.list',
module="dataprovider_bow",
obj="process",
args={"dictionary": word_dict})
You can refer to the following link for more detailed examples and data formats: PyDataProvider2.
Network Architecture¶
We will describe four kinds of network architectures in this section.
First, you will build a logistic regression model. Later, you will also get chance to build other more powerful network architectures.
For more detailed documentation, you could refer to: layer documentation. All configuration files are in demo/quick_start
directory.
Logistic Regression¶
The architecture is illustrated in the following picture:
- You need define the data for text features. The size of the data layer is the number of words in the dictionary.
word = data_layer(name="word", size=voc_dim)
- You also need to define the category id for each example. The size of the data layer is the number of labels.
label = data_layer(name="label", size=label_dim)
- It uses logistic regression model to classify the vector, and it will output the classification error during training.
- Each layer has an input argument that specifies its input layer. Some layers can have multiple input layers. You can use a list of the input layers as input in that case.
- size for each layer means the number of neurons of the layer.
- act_type means activation function applied to the output of each neuron independently.
- Some layers can have additional special inputs. For example,
classification_cost
needs ground truth label as input to compute classification loss and error.
# Define a fully connected layer with logistic activation (also called softmax activation).
output = fc_layer(input=word,
size=label_dim,
act_type=SoftmaxActivation())
# Define cross-entropy classification loss and error.
classification_cost(input=output, label=label)
Performance summary: You can refer to the training and testing scripts later. In order to compare different network architectures, the model complexity and test classification error are listed in the following table:
| Network name | Number of parameters | Test error |
|---|---|---|
| Logistic regression | 252 KB | 8.652% |
Word Embedding Model¶
In order to use the word embedding model, you need to change the data provider a little bit to make the input words as a sequence of word IDs. The revised data provider dataprovider_emb.py
is listed below. You only need to change initializer() for the type of the first input. It is changed from sparse_binary_vector to sequence of intergers. process() remains the same. This data provider can also be used for later sequence models.
def initializer(settings, dictionary, **kwargs):
# Put the word dictionary into settings
settings.word_dict = dictionary
settings.input_types = [
# Define the type of the first input as a sequence of integers.
integer_value_sequence(len(dictionary)),
# Define the second input for label id
integer_value(2)]
@provider(init_hook=initializer)
def process(settings, file_name):
...
# omitted, it is same as the data provider for LR model
This model is very similar to the framework of logistic regression, but it uses word embedding vectors instead of a sparse vectors to represent words.
- It can look up the dense word embedding vector in the dictionary (its words embedding vector is
word_dim
). The input is a sequence of N words, the output is N word_dim dimensional vectors.
emb = embedding_layer(input=word, dim=word_dim)
- It averages all the word embedding in a sentence to get its sentence representation.
avg = pooling_layer(input=emb, pooling_type=AvgPooling())
The other parts of the model are the same as logistic regression network.
The performance is summarized in the following table:
| Network name | Number of parameters | Test error |
|---|---|---|
| Word embedding model | 15 MB | 8.484% |
Convolutional Neural Network Model¶
Convolutional neural network converts a sequence of word embeddings into a sentence representation using temporal convolutions. You will transform the fully connected layer of the word embedding model to 3 new sub-steps.
Text convolution has 3 steps:
- Get K nearest neighbor context of each word in a sentence, stack them into a 2D vector representation.
- Apply temporal convolution to this representation to produce a new hidden_dim dimensional vector.
- Apply max-pooling to the new vectors at all the time steps in a sentence to get a sentence representation.
# context_len means convolution kernel size.
# context_start means the start of the convolution. It can be negative. In that case, zero padding is applied.
text_conv = sequence_conv_pool(input=emb,
context_start=k,
context_len=2 * k + 1)
The performance is summarized in the following table：
| Network name | Number of parameters | Test error |
|---|---|---|
| Convolutional model | 16 MB | 5.628% |
Recurrent Model¶
You can use Recurrent neural network as our time sequence model, including simple RNN model, GRU model, and LSTM model。
- GRU model can be specified via：
gru = simple_gru(input=emb, size=gru_size)
- LSTM model can be specified via：
lstm = simple_lstm(input=emb, size=lstm_size)
You can use single layer LSTM model with Dropout for our text classification problem. The performance is summarized in the following table:
| Network name | Number of parameters | Test error |
|---|---|---|
| Recurrent model | 16 MB | 4.812% |
Optimization Algorithm¶
Optimization algorithms include Momentum, RMSProp, AdaDelta, AdaGrad, Adam, and Adamax. You can use Adam optimization method here, with L2 regularization and gradient clipping, because Adam has been proved to work very well for training recurrent neural network.
settings(batch_size=128,
learning_rate=2e-3,
learning_method=AdamOptimizer(),
regularization=L2Regularization(8e-4),
gradient_clipping_threshold=25)
Training Model¶
After completing data preparation and network architecture specification, you will run the training script.
Training script: our training script is in train.sh
file. The training arguments are listed below:
paddle train \
--config=trainer_config.py \
--log_period=20 \
--save_dir=./output \
--num_passes=15 \
--use_gpu=false
We do not provide examples on how to train on clusters here. If you want to train on clusters, please follow the distributed training documentation or other demos for more details.
Inference¶
You can use the trained model to perform prediction on the dataset with no labels. You can also evaluate the model on dataset with labels to obtain its test accuracy.
The test script is listed below. PaddlePaddle can evaluate a model on the data with labels specified in test.list
.
paddle train \
--config=trainer_config.lstm.py \
--use_gpu=false \
--job=test \
--init_model_path=./output/pass-0000x
We will give an example of performing prediction using Recurrent model on a dataset with no labels. You can refer to Python Prediction API tutorial，or other demo for the prediction process using Python. You can also use the following script for inference or evaluation.
inference script (predict.sh)：
model="output/pass-00003"
paddle train \
--config=trainer_config.lstm.py \
--use_gpu=false \
--job=test \
--init_model_path=$model \
--config_args=is_predict=1 \
--predict_output_dir=. \
mv rank-00000 result.txt
User can choose the best model base on the training log instead of model output/pass-00003
. There are several differences between training and inference network configurations.
- You do not need labels during inference.
- Outputs need to be specified to the classification probability layer (the output of softmax layer), or the id of maximum probability (
max_id
layer). An example to output the id and probability is given in the code snippet. - batch_size = 1.
- You need to specify the location of
test_list
in the test data.
The results in result.txt
is as follows, each line is one sample.
predicted_label_id;probability_of_label_0 probability_of_label_1 # the first sample
predicted_label_id;probability_of_label_0 probability_of_label_1 # the second sample
is_predict = get_config_arg('is_predict', bool, False)
trn = 'data/train.list' if not is_predict else None
tst = 'data/test.list' if not is_predict else 'data/pred.list'
obj = 'process' if not is_predict else 'process_pre'
batch_size = 128 if not is_predict else 1
if is_predict:
maxid = maxid_layer(output)
outputs([maxid,output])
else:
label = data_layer(name="label", size=2)
cls = classification_cost(input=output, label=label) outputs(cls)
Summary¶
The scripts of data downloading, network configurations, and training scrips are in /demo/quick_start
. The following table summarizes the performance of our network architecture on Amazon-Elec dataset(25k):
| Network name | Number of parameters | Error rate | Configuration file name |
|---|---|---|---|
| Logistic regression model(BOW) | 252KB | 8.652% | trainer_config.lr.py |
| Word embedding | 15MB | 8.484% | trainer_config.emb.py |
| Convolution model | 16MB | 5.628% | trainer_config.cnn.py |
| Time sequence model | 16MB | 4.812% | trainer_config.lstm.py |
Appendix¶
Command Line Argument¶
- --config：network architecture path.
- --save_dir：model save directory.
- --log_period：the logging period per batch.
- --num_passes：number of training passes. One pass means the training would go over the whole training dataset once.

PIG DICE
Welcome to the game. The following are the rules:
Each turn, a player repeatedly rolls a die until either a 1 is rolled or the player decides to "hold":
If the player rolls a 1, they score nothing and it becomes the next player's turn.
If the player rolls any other number, it is added to their turn total and the player's turn continues.
If a player chooses to "hold", their turn total is added to their score, and it becomes the next player's turn.
The first player to score 100 or more points wins.

Mourinho ‘happy’ after winning first game as Spurs’ coach
by Agency ReportJose Mourinho said he was “happy” with his players after delivering Tottenham’s first away win in the Premier League since January in his first game in charge with a 3-2 win at West Ham on Saturday.
Son Heung-min, Lucas Moura and Harry Kane scored the goals as Mourinho made an instant impact after replacing the sacked Mauricio Pochettino on Wednesday.
Spurs were cruising at 3-0 up and although Michail Antonio and Angelo Ogbonna scored for the home side, it was too little too late.
The win rockets Spurs up the league table to sixth, but still eight points behind champions Manchester City in fourth spot, having played a game more.
“I was really happy before we conceded the two goals, we were playing well, bringing to the game things we had tried in training,” Mourinho told BT Sport. “And we had the ball to make it 4-0 and kill the game.
“We are lucky I have so many years in the Premier League so I told the players at half-time ‘even if we are 3-0 in the 85th minute the game will still be open’.
“But there were also many factors. The emotions of losing the previous manager, people coming back from national teams and fatigue in the last 20 minutes.
“The most important thing was to win, no matter how. The boys are happy and that’s what I really wanted.”
Spurs midfielder Dele Alli said, “It’s been a very tough week for us emotionally. We’ve spent a long time with Pochettino and we were very sad but we had a job to do. We had to go out for the fans and try and stay as positive as we can.”
“We have to carry on momentum and keep winning, we need to start that from now,” he added. “There is still a lot to work on and we need to improve from now on.”
