This is the reproduction of MCAN from paper in ACL 2021: "Multimodal Fusion with Co-Attention Networks for Fake News Detection".

本项目是结合weibo和twitter两个数据集对官方MCAN代码进行的注释和复现。 论文作者给出的原始代码地址官方代码

Create the env

首先创建代码所需的环境，推荐使用anaconda创建虚拟环境。代码运行所需要的关键包已在requirements.txt中列出。

The python version is python-3.8.16. The detailed version of some packages is available in requirements.txt. You can install all the required packages using the following command:

conda install --yes --file requirements.txt

Process dataset

数据集可以从这个项目中获取：weibo和twitter数据集

运行下面的代码处理原始数据，得到满足MCAN输入格式的文件：

python text_process.py

上述代码运行完成之后，会在当前目录下的processd_data中生成每个数据集的train.txt和test.txt文件。

Download pre_trained models

运行代码需要预训练好的 bert-base-chinese, bert-base-multilingual-cased 以及 pytorch的vgg19 模型。

下载之后将模型放入当前目录下的models文件夹中。

Run

直接运行py文件即可开始训练：

python MCAN_reproduction.py
