2017/1/3	Yang Feng	tested and analyzed the results on the cs-en data set (30.4 on the heldout-training set and 7.3 on the dev set); added masks to the baseline (44.4 on the cn-en); added encoder-masks and memory-masks to alpha-gamma method and fixed the bugs. Got an improvement of 0.5 again the masked baseline [report]; To avoid doing softmax twice, rewrite the softmax_cross_entropy function myself. (under-training)	analyze and improve the alpha-gamma method.
	Jiyuan Zhang	completed to reproduce planning neural network chose best attention_memory model for huilian and ran big train dataset(about 370k) result	Keyword expansion model collect more poem from Internet recruiting
	Andi Zhang
	Shiyue Zhang	added trained memory-attention model to neural model(43.0) and got 2+ blue gain (45.19), but need more validation and improvement ran baseline model on cs-en data, and found it was good on train set but poor on test set. ran baseline model on en-fr data, and found 'inf' problem. fixed the 'inf' problem by debugging the code of mask-added baseline model. running on cs-en and en-fr data again.	go on with baseline on big data: get results of cs-en and enfr data, train on zh-en data from WMT17 go on to refine memory attention model: retrain to find out if the 2+ is just by chance, try more memory attention structure (relu, a(t-1), y(t-1)...)
