The code is modified from GitHub - nyu-dl/dl4mt-tutorial.

The code for tree-LSTM version has been released. Tree-LSTM part is modified from GitHub - dallascard/TreeLSTM, but support minibatches.

Dependencies

To run it perfectly, you will need:

• Python 2.7
• Theano 0.8.2

Running the Script

1. Download and preprocess

   cd data
   bash fetch_and_preprocess.sh

2. Train and test model for ESIM

   cd scripts/ESIM/
   bash train.sh

3. Train and test model for TreeLSTM-IM

   cd scripts/TreeLSTM-IM/
   bash train.sh

The result is in log.txt file.
