11-747 Neural Network for NLP

Second Language Acquisition Modeling

Dataset

You need to download raw data and organize them in this hierarchy. (currently partially gitignored).

|-data/
	|-data_en_es/
	|-data_es_en/
	|-data_fr_en/
	|-Assistant/
		|-skill_builder_data_corrected.csv
		|-skill_builder_data.csv

data_en_es/ and 2 others can be download from http://sharedtask.duolingo.com

We use a deduplicated version of skill_builder_data.csv, named as skill_builder_data_corrected.csv from Skill-builder data 2009-2010

Command

On Assistment09 benchmark:

To run a neural collaborative filtering model (based on MLP):

python ./cli.py ncf assistments data/Assistant/skill_builder_data.csv --no-remove-skill-nans --drop-duplicates --num-folds 5 --item-id-col problem_id --num-iters 50 --first-learning-rate 0.001 --embedding_dim 200 --hidden-dim 200

A .csv dump of cross-validated prediction is located at data/Assistant/prediction/skill_builder_data.csv

You could also run a naive MLP with pre-defined features (e.g. ms_response, attempt, opportunity, etc. ) from .csv

python ./cli.py mlp assistments data/Assistant/skill_builder_data.csv --no-remove-skill-nans --drop-duplicates --num-folds 5 --item-id-col problem_id --num-iters 50 --dropout-prob 0.25 --first-learning-rate 0.01 --hidden-dim 100

On Duolingo dataset:

To train a (official release baseline) Logistic Regression and predict:

cd starter_code/

python baseline.py --train ../data/data_es_en/es_en.slam.20171218.train --test ../data/data_es_en/es_en.slam.20171218.dev --pred prediction_es_en/es_en.slam.20171218.pred

Then to evaluate:

python eval.py --pred prediction_es_en/es_en.slam.20171218.pred --key ../data/data_es_en/es_en.slam.20171218.dev.key

You will see an output:
