Self-Play Pretraining with Zero Data (wip)

Implementation of Self-Play Pretraining with Zero Data

Paper Review from @hu-po

Usage

import torch
from self_play_pretrain_zero_data import Brainfuck, SelfPlay, Transformer

executor = Brainfuck()

generator = Transformer(num_tokens = executor.num_tokens, dim = 512, depth = 6)
learner = Transformer(num_tokens = 256 + 1, dim = 512, depth = 6)

self_play = SelfPlay(generator, learner, executor)
self_play(epochs = 10)

torch.save(learner.state_dict(), './learner.pt')
