Hi, this code is easy to use!

Please check the src/train.py for all hyper-parameter and IO settings.

You can modify the src/train.py to speficy your own model settings or datasets.

  • For training, use the command line python train.py. Training details will be printed on the screen. The learned parameters will be saved in in the same directory as train.py per epoch, which will be named as epoch1, epoch2, ....
  • For test, the same command line python train.py is used, but with a specified parameter file (e.g., epoch1), via the function argument load_params in train.py (Note load_params should be None when training). In addition, tell your test file by setting dev_file (Yes, when test, consider it as "test_file"). The segmented result will be saved in src/result.

The code is originally designed for reasearch purpose, but adaptable to industrial use.
