Slot-Utterance Matching for Universal and Scalable Belief Tracking

This is the original PyTorch implemenation of SUMBT: Slot-Utterance Matching for Universal and Scalable Belief Tracking, Hwaran Lee*, Jinsik Lee*, and Tae-Yoon Kim, ACL 2019 (Short)

Requirements

  • python 3.6
  • pytorch >= 1.0
  • Install python packages:
    • pip install -r requirements.txt

Usages

Data prepration & pre-procesisng

  • Download corpus
    • WOZ2.0: download
    • MultiWOZ: download
      • Note: our experiments conducted on MultiWOZ 2.0 corpus
  • Pre-process corpus
    • The download original corpus are loacated in data/$corpus/original
    • See data/$corpus/original/convert_to_glue_format.py
    • The pre-processed data are located in data/$corpus/

Train SUMBT

Please see run.sh

  • Training and evaluation
python3 code/Main-multislot.py --do_train --do_eval --data_dir data/woz --bert_model bert-base-uncased --do_lower_case --task_name bert-gru-slot_query_multi --nbt rnn --output_dir exp-woz/model --target_slot all

  • Specifying slots (or domains) to train with the option --target_slots=$target_slots

    • e.g., For WOZ2.0, "0:1", "0:2", "1:2" (0=Area, 1=Food, 2=Pricerange)
    • e.g., For MultiWOZ, specify the domain name you want to exclude: "train" or "hotel"
    • If you want train with all slots, then --target_slots=all

  • This code supports Multi-gpu training

    • CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=$cuda python3 code/Main-multislot.py
