Submodular optimization-based diverse paraphrasing and its effectiveness in data augmentation

Source code for NAACL 2019 paper: Submodular optimization-based diverse paraphrasing and its effectiveness in data augmentation

Overview of DiPS during decoding to generate k paraphrases. At each time step, a set of N sequences V^(t) is used to determine k < N sequences (X^∗) via submodular maximization . The above figure illustrates the motivation behind each submodular component. Please see Section 4 in the paper for details.

Dependencies

compatible with python 3.6
dependencies can be installed using requirements.txt

Dataset

Download the following datasets:

Extract and place them in the data directory. Path : data/<dataset-folder-name>. A sample dataset folder might look like data/quora/<train/test/val>/<src.txt/tgt.txt>.

Download GoogleNews-vectors-negative300.bin.gz into the data directory. In case the above link doesn't work, find the zip file here

Setup:

To get the project's source code, clone the github repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/malllabiisc/DiPS

Install VirtualEnv using the following (optional):

$ [sudo] pip install virtualenv

Create and activate your virtual environment (optional):

$ virtualenv -p python3 venv
$ source venv/bin/activate

Install all the required packages:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Install the submodopt package by running the following command from the root directory of the repository:

$ cd ./packages/submodopt
$ python setup.py install
$ cd ../../

Training the sequence to sequence model

python -m src.main -mode train -gpu 0 -use_attn -bidirectional -dataset quora -run_name <run_name>

Create dictionary for submodular subset selection. Used for Semantic similarity (L₂)

To use trained embeddings -

python -m src.create_dict -model trained -run_name <run_name> -gpu 0

To use pretrained word2vec embeddings -

python -m src.create_dict -model pretrained -run_name <run_name> -gpu 0

This will generate the word2vec.pickle file in data/embeddings

Decoding using submodularity

python -m src.main -mode decode -selec submod -run_name <run_name> -beam_width 10 -gpu 0
