Match-LSTM

Here we implement the MatchLSTM (Wang and Jiang 2016) model, R-Net(Wang et al. 2017) model and M-Reader(Hu et al. 2017) on SQuAD (Rajpurkar et al. 2016).

Maybe there are some details different from initial paper.

Requirements

• python3
• anaconda
• hdf5
• spaCy 2.0
• pytorch 0.4
• GloVe word embeddings

Experiments

The Match-LSTM+ model is a little change from Match-LSTM.

• replace LSTM with GRU
• add gated-attention match like r-net
• add separated char-level encoding
• add additional features like M-Reader
• add aggregation layer with one GRU layer
• initial GRU first state in pointer-net
  • add full-connect layer after match layer

Evaluate results on SQuAD dev set:

'R-NET-45' refers to R-NET with hidden size of 45

Usage

python run.py [preprocess/train/test] [-c config_file] [-o ans_path]

• -c config_file: Defined dataset, model, train methods and so on. Default: config/global_config.yaml
• -o ans_path: see in test step

there several models you can choose in config/global_config.yaml, like 'match-lstm', 'match-lstm+', 'r-net' and 'm-reader'. view and modify.

Preprocess

1. Put the GloVe embeddings file to the data/ directory
2. Put the SQuAD dataset to the data/ directory
3. Run python run.py preprocess to generate hdf5 file of SQuAD dataset

Note that preprocess will take a long time if multi-features used. Maybe close to an hour.

Train

python run.py train

Test

python run.py test [-o ans_file]

• -o ans_file: Output the answer of question and context with a unique id to ans_file.

Note that we use data/model-weight.pt as our model weights by default. You can modify the config_file to set model weights file.

Evaluate

python helper_run/evaluate-v1.1.py [dataset_file] [prediction_file]

• dataset_file: ground truth of dataset. example: data/SQuAD/dev-v1.1.json
• prediction_file: your model predict on dataset. you can use the ans_file from test step.

Analysis

python helper_run/analysis_[*].py

Here we provide some scipt to analysis your model output, such as analysis_log.py, analysis_ans.py, analysis_dataset.py and so on. view and explore.
