DeepXML
Code for DeepXML: A Deep Extreme Multi-Label Learning Framework Applied to Short Text Documents
Architectures and algorithms
DeepXML supports multiple feature architectures such as Bag-of-embedding/Astec, RNN, CNN etc. The code uses a json file to construct the feature architecture. Features could be computed using following encoders:
- Bag-of-embedding/Astec: As used in the DeepXML paper [1].
- RNN: RNN based sequential models. Support for RNN, GRU, and LSTM.
- XML-CNN: CNN architecture as proposed in the XML-CNN paper [4].
Best Practices for features creation
- Adding sub-words on top of unigrams to the vocabulary can help in training more accurate embeddings and classifiers.

Download data for Astec
* Download the (zipped file) BoW features from XML repository.
* Extract the zipped file into data directory.
* The following files should be available in
/data/
for new datasets (ignore the next step)
- trn_X_Xf.txt
- trn_X_Y.txt
- tst_X_Xf.txt
- tst_X_Y.txt
- fasttextB_embeddings_300d.npy or fasttextB_embeddings_512d.npy
* The following files should be available in
/data/
if the dataset is in old format (please refer to next step to convert the data to new format)
- train.txt
- test.txt
- fasttextB_embeddings_300d.npy or fasttextB_embeddings_512d.npy
Convert to new data format
# A perl script is provided (in deepxml/tools) to convert the data into new format as expected by Astec
# Either set the $data_dir variable to the data directory of a particular dataset or replace it with the path
perl convert_format.pl $data_dir/train.txt $data_dir/trn_X_Xf.txt $data_dir/trn_X_Y.txt
perl convert_format.pl $data_dir/test.txt $data_dir/tst_X_Xf.txt $data_dir/tst_X_Y.txt
Example use cases
A single learner with DeepXML framework
The DeepXML framework can be utilized as follows. A json file is used to specify architecture and other arguments. Please refer to the full documentation below for more details.
./run_main.sh 0 DeepXML EURLex-4K 0 108
An ensemble of multiple learners with DeepXML framework
An ensemble can be trained as follows. A json file is used to specify architecture and other arguments.
./run_main.sh 0 DeepXML EURLex-4K 0 108,666,786
Full Documentation
./run_main.sh
* gpu_id: Run the program on this GPU. * framework - DeepXML: Divides the XML problems in 4 modules as proposed in the paper. - DeepXML-OVA: Train the architecture in 1-vs-all fashion [4][5], i.e., loss is computed for each label in each iteration. - DeepXML-ANNS: Train the architecture using a label shortlist. Support is available for a fixed graph or periodic training of the ANNS graph. * dataset - Name of the dataset. - Astec expects the following files in
/data/
- trn_X_Xf.txt - trn_X_Y.txt - tst_X_Xf.txt - tst_X_Y.txt - fasttextB_embeddings_300d.npy or fasttextB_embeddings_512d.npy - You can set the 'embedding_dims' in config file to switch between 300d and 512d embeddings. * version - different runs could be managed by version and seed. - models and results are stored with this argument. * seed - seed value as used by numpy and PyTorch. - an ensemble is learned if multiple comma separated values are passed.
Notes
* Other file formats such as npy, npz, pickle are also supported.
* Initializing with token embeddings (computed from FastText) leads to noticible accuracy gain in Astec. Please ensure that the token embedding file is available in data directory, if 'init=token_embeddings', otherwise it'll throw an error.
* Config files are made available in deepxml/configs/
/
for datasets in XC repository. You can use them when trying out Astec/DeepXML on new datasets.
* We conducted our experiments on a 24-core Intel Xeon 2.6 GHz machine with 440GB RAM with a single Nvidia P40 GPU. 128GB memory should suffice for most datasets.
* Astec make use of CPU (mainly for nmslib) as well as GPU.
