Code for the Stanford course.
Spring 2021
Details on how to get set up to work with this code.
Introductions to Juypter notebooks, scientific computing with NumPy and friends, and PyTorch.
A generic optimization class (torch_model_base.py) and subclasses for GloVe, Autoencoders, shallow neural classifiers, RNN classifiers, tree-structured networks, and grounded natural language generation.
tutorial_pytorch_models.ipynb shows how to use these modules as a general framework for creating original systems.
Reference implementations for the torch_*.py models, designed to reveal more about how the optimization process works.
A until on vector space models of meaning, covering traditional methods like PMI and LSA as well as newer methods like Autoencoders and GloVe. vsm.py provides a lot of the core functionality, and torch_glove.py and torch_autoencoder.py are the learned models that we cover. vsm_03_retroffiting.ipynb is an extension that uses retrofitting.py, and vsm_04_contextualreps.ipynb explores methods for deriving static representations from contextual models.
A unit on sentiment analysis with the English Stanford Sentiment Treebank. The core code is sst.py, which includes a flexible experimental framework. All the PyTorch classifiers are put to use as well: torch_shallow_neural_network.py, torch_rnn_classifier.py, and torch_tree_nn.py.
A unit on relation extraction with distant supervision.
A unit on Natural Language Inference. nli.py provides core interfaces to a variety of NLI dataset, and an experimental framework. All the PyTorch classifiers are again in heavy use: torch_shallow_neural_network.py, torch_rnn_classifier.py, and torch_tree_nn.py.
A unit on grounded natural language generation, focused on generating context-dependent color descriptions using the English Stanford Colors in Context dataset.
Using pretrained parameters from Hugging Face for featurization and fine-tuning.
Notebooks covering key experimental methods and practical considerations, and tips on writing up and presenting work in the field.
Miscellaneous core functions used throughout the code.
To run these tests, use
py.test -vv test/*
or, for just the tests in test_shallow_neural_classifiers.py,
py.test -vv test/test_shallow_neural_classifiers.py
If the above commands don't work, try
python3 -m pytest -vv test/test_shallow_neural_classifiers.py
