tree_rnn

Theano implementation of Tree RNNs aka Recursive Neural Networks.

Includes implementation of TreeLSTMs as described in "Improved Semantic Representations From Tree-Structured Long Short-Term Memory Networks" by Kai Sheng Tai, Richard Socher, and Christopher D. Manning.

Also includes implementation of TreeGRUs derived using similar methods.

You may immediately run "dummy" demos via simple_demo.py and modulo_demo.py.

Code for evaluation on the Stanford Sentiment Treebank (used by the paper) is also available in sentiment.py. To run this, you'll need to download the relevant data.

Step-by-step for cloning this repo and getting the sentiment model running:

From your shell, run

git clone https://github.com/ofirnachum/tree_rnn.git
git clone https://github.com/stanfordnlp/treelstm.git
cd treelstm
./fetch_and_preprocess.sh

This will download the datasets, the word vectors, and do some preprocessing on the data. Once this is complete, go into the tree_rnn directory and start a Python shell. In that shell, we'll preprocess the word vectors:

import data_utils
vocab = data_utils.Vocab()
vocab.load('../treelstm/data/sst/vocab-cased.txt')
words, embeddings = \
    data_utils.read_embeddings_into_numpy(
        '../treelstm/data/glove/glove.840B.300d.txt', vocab=vocab)

import numpy as np
np.save('../treelstm/data/words.npy', words)
np.save('../treelstm/data/glove.npy', embeddings)

After exiting the Python shell, you can run the sentiment training directly

python sentiment.py
