seq2seq

seq2seq is an early, influential TensorFlow reference implementation for sequence-to-sequence learning with attention, covering tasks like neural machine translation, summarization, and dialogue. It packaged encoders, decoders, attention mechanisms, and beam search into a modular training and inference framework. The codebase showcased best practices for batching, bucketing by sequence length, and handling variable-length sequences efficiently on GPUs. Researchers used it as a baseline to reproduce classic results and to prototype new attention variants and training tricks. It also offered scripts for data preprocessing, evaluation, and exporting models for serving. Although now historical as newer frameworks have emerged, seq2seq remains a clear, pedagogical implementation that documents the core ideas behind modern encoder-decoder systems.
