First of all, we are not pointing at others, we do this correction due to no offense, but a kind reminder of being careful of the string generation process. We repsect Mr. Wang very much, and appreciate his great contribution in this area.
After scrutilizing the original code shared by Wang Zhenhailong, we discovered that the eval method have an unintentional but very serious mistake in generating predicted strings, which is using teacher forcing implicitly.
The code which reaches my concern is:
seq2seqLMoutput = model(input_embeddings_batch, input_masks_batch, input_mask_invert_batch, target_ids_batch)
logits = seq2seqLMoutput.logits # bs*seq_len*voc_sz
probs = logits[0].softmax(dim = 1)
values, predictions = probs.topk(1)
predictions = torch.squeeze(predictions)
predicted_string = tokenizer.decode(predictions) Therefore resulting in predictions like below:
target string: It isn't that Stealing Harvard is a horrible movie -- if only it were that grand a failure!
predicted string: was't a the. is was a bad place, it it it were a.. movie.

target string: It just doesn't have much else... especially in a moral sense.
predicted string: was so't work the to to and not the country sense.

target string: Those unfamiliar with Mormon traditions may find The Singles Ward occasionally bewildering.
predicted string: who with the history may be themselves Mormoning''s amusingering.
################################################
target string: Viewed as a comedy, a romance, a fairy tale, or a drama, there's nothing remotely triumphant about this motion picture.
predicted string: the from a whole, it film, and comedy tale, and a tragic, it is nothing quite romantic about it. picture.

predicted string: the most and of cannot not the entertained. and they the music against.

target string: An important movie, a reminder of the power of film to move us and to make us examine our values.
predicted string: nie part in " classic of the importance of the, shape people, our make us think our lives,
################################################
target string: Too much of this well-acted but dangerously slow thriller feels like a preamble to a bigger, more complicated story, one that never materializes.
predicted string: bad of a is-known film not over- is like a film-ble to a much, more dramatic story. which that is endsizes.In addition, we noticed that some people are using it as code base which generates concerning results. We are not condemning these researchers, we just want to notice them and maybe we can do something together to resolve this problem.
UniCoRN: Unified Cognitive Signal ReconstructioN bridging cognitive signals and human language
DeWave: Discrete EEG Waves Encoding for Brain Dynamics to Text Translation
We have written a corrected version to use model.generate to evaluate the model, the result is not so good. Basicly, we changed the model_decoding.py and eval_decoding.py to add model.generate for its originally nn.Module class model, and used model.generate to predict strings.
We are open to everyone to scrutinize on this corrected code and run the code. Then, we will show the final performance of this model in this repo and formalize a technical paper.
