This repo contains the code accompanying the paper Developmentally motivated emergence of compositional communication via template transfer accepted for NeurIPS 2019 workshop Emergent Communication: Towards Natural Language.
We assume Python <= 3.6. To reproduce the results of template transfer run:
pip install -r requirements.txt
unzip data.zip
python -m template_transfer.trainTo reproduce reported baselines, run the following commands:
- Random baseline:
python -m template_transfer.train --sender_lr 0 --receiver_lr 0 --no_transfer - Same architecture without template transfer:
python -m template_transfer.train --no_transfer - Obverter:
python -m obverter.train
Use --help flag for available arguments. All arguments default to hyperparameters used in the paper. I use Neptune.ml for experiment management, which is turned off by default. Pass --neptune_project <username/projectname> and set environmental variable NEPTUNE_API_TOKEN to log metrics using Neptune.
