Tree Transformer

This is the official implementation of the paper Tree Transformer: Integrating Tree Structures into Self-Attention. If you use this code or our results in your research, we'd appreciate you cite our paper as following:

Dependencies

  • python3
  • pytorch 1.0

We use BERT tokenizer from PyTorch-Transformers to tokenize words. Please install PyTorch-Transformers following the instructions of the repository.

Training

For grammar induction training:
python3 main.py -train -model_dir [model_dir] -num_step 60000
The default setting achieves F1 of approximatedly 49.5 on WSJ test set. The training file 'data/train.txt' includes all WSJ data except 'WSJ_22 and WSJ_23'.

Evaluation

For grammar induction testing:
python3 main.py -test -model_dir [model_dir]
The code creates a result directory named model_dir. The result directory includes 'bracket.json' and 'tree.txt'. File 'bracket.json' contains the brackets of trees outputted from the model and they can be used for evaluating F1. The ground truth brackets of testing data can be obtained by using code of on-lstm. File 'tree.txt' contains the parse trees. The default testing file 'data/test.txt' contains the tests of wsj_23.
