HGN: Hierarchical Graph Network for Multi-hop Question Answering

This is the official repository of HGN (EMNLP 2020).

Requirements

We provide Docker image for easier reproduction. Please use Dockerfile or pull image directly.

docker pull studyfang/hgn:latest

To run docker without sudo permission, please refer this documentation Manage Docker as a non-root user. Then, you could start docker, e.g.

docker run --gpus all -it -v /datadrive_c/yuwfan:/ssd -it studyfang/hgn:latest bash

Quick Start

NOTE: Please make sure you have set up the environment correctly.

Download raw data and our preprocessed data.

bash scripts/download_data.sh

Inference

We provide roberta-large and albert-xxlarge-v2 finetuned model for inference directly. Please run

python predict.py --config_file configs/predict.roberta.json

You may get the following results on the dev set with RoBERTa-large model and ALBERT model respectively:

em = 0.6895340985820392
f1 = 0.8220366071156804
sp_em = 0.6310600945307225
sp_f1 = 0.8859230865915771
joint_em = 0.4649561107359892
joint_f1 = 0.7436079971145017

and

em = 0.7018230925050641
f1 = 0.8344362891739213
sp_em = 0.6317353139770425
sp_f1 = 0.8919316739978699
joint_em = 0.4700877785280216
joint_f1 = 0.7573679775376975

Please refer to Preprocess and training section if you want to reproduce other steps.

Preprocess

Please set DATA_ROOT in preprocess.sh for your usage, otherwise data will be downloaded to the currect directory.

To download and preprocess the data, please run

bash run.sh download,preprocess

After you download the data, you could also optionally to preprocess the data only:

bash run.sh preprocess

Training

Please set your home data folder HOME_DATA_FOLDER in envs.py.

And then run

python train.py --config_file configs/train.roberta.json
