PaddlePaddle在使用N-gram神经网络训练时出现ids[i]>row_number的错误

• 关键字：词向量，N-gram神经网络

• 问题描述：在使用N-gram神经网络训练PTB数据集时，手动设置了字典大小，最后在启动训练的时候出现错误，错误提示ids[i]>row_number。

• 问题复现：在是使用fluid.layers.embedding接口构造N-gram神经网络，其中设置size参数的值为[32, 32]，在执行训练的时候就会报该错误。错误代码如下：

dict_size = 32
embed_first = fluid.layers.embedding(
    input=first_word,
    size=[dict_size, EMBED_SIZE],
    dtype='float32',
    is_sparse=is_sparse,
    param_attr='shared_w')
embed_second = fluid.layers.embedding(
    input=second_word,
    size=[dict_size, EMBED_SIZE],
    dtype='float32',
    is_sparse=is_sparse,
    param_attr='shared_w')
embed_third = fluid.layers.embedding(
    input=third_word,
    size=[dict_size, EMBED_SIZE],
    dtype='float32',
    is_sparse=is_sparse,
    param_attr='shared_w')
embed_fourth = fluid.layers.embedding(
    input=fourth_word,
    size=[dict_size, EMBED_SIZE],
    dtype='float32',
    is_sparse=is_sparse,
    param_attr='shared_w')

• 解决问题：fluid.layers.embedding接口的size参数的值应该是[数据集的字典大小, 词向量大小]。所以第一个参数的值应该是字典的大小，所以要根据字典的实际大小来进行赋值。正确代码如下：

word_dict = paddle.dataset.imikolov.build_dict()
dict_size = len(word_dict)

embed_first = fluid.layers.embedding(
    input=first_word,
    size=[dict_size, EMBED_SIZE],
    dtype='float32',
    is_sparse=is_sparse,
    param_attr='shared_w')
embed_second = fluid.layers.embedding(
    input=second_word,
    size=[dict_size, EMBED_SIZE],
    dtype='float32',
    is_sparse=is_sparse,
    param_attr='shared_w')
embed_third = fluid.layers.embedding(
    input=third_word,
    size=[dict_size, EMBED_SIZE],
    dtype='float32',
    is_sparse=is_sparse,
    param_attr='shared_w')
embed_fourth = fluid.layers.embedding(
    input=fourth_word,
    size=[dict_size, EMBED_SIZE],
    dtype='float32',
    is_sparse=is_sparse,
    param_attr='shared_w')
