Reinforcement Learning for Abstractive Question Summarization with Question-aware Semantic Rewards

The code requires Python 3 and please install the Python dependencies with the command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

The original MeQSum dataset is available here.

Running the code

Please make sure to download the pre-trained question-type identification and question-focus recognition models from here and place it in the current directory.
Fine tune ProphetNet model on MeQSum dataset

Follow the instrcution from transformers repo. https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/tree/v4.1.1/examples/seq2seq

Train MLE + RL Model

python main.py --train_mode rl --trained_model_path /path/to/the/fine-tuned/prophetnet/model

Test Model

python main.py --model test --trained_model_path /path/to/the/saved/model
