GP-VAE

This repository provides datasets and code for preprocessing, training and testing models for the paper:

Installation

The following command installs all necessary packages:

pip install -r requirements.txt

The project was tested using Python 3.6.6.

Datasets

  1. Twitter URL includes trn/val/tst.tsv, which has the following format in each line:
source_sentence \t reference_sentence 
  1. GYAFC has two sub-domains em and fr, please request and download the data from the original paper here.

Models

Training

Train the LSTM-based variational encoder-decoder with GP priors:

cd models/pg/
python main.py --task train --data_file ../../data/twitter_url \
			   --model_type gp_full --kernel_v 65.0 --kernel_r 0.0001

where --data_file indicates the data path for the training data,
--model_type indicates which prior to use, including copynet/normal/gp_full,
--kernel_v and --kernel_r specifies the hyper-parameters for the kernel of GP prior.

Train the transformer-based variational encoder-decoder with GP priors:

cd models/t5/
python t5_gpvae.py --task train --dataset twitter_url \
    			   --kernel_v 512.0 --kernel_r 0.001 

where --data_file indicates the data path for the training data,
--kernel_v and --kernel_r specifies the hyper-parameters for the kernel of GP prior.

Inference

Test the LSTM-based variational encoder-decoder with GP priors:

cd models/pg/
python main.py --task decode --data_file ../../data/twitter_url \
			   --model_type gp_full --kernel_v 65.0 --kernel_r 0.0001 \
			   --decode_from sample \
			   --model_file /path/to/best/checkpoint

where --data_file indicates the data path for the testing data,
--model_type indicates which prior to use, including copynet/normal/gp_full,
--kernel_v and --kernel_r specifies the hyper-parameters for the kernel of GP prior,
--decode_from indicates generating results conditioning on z_mean or randomly sampled z, including mean/sample.

Test the transformer-based variational encoder-decoder with GP priors:

cd models/t5/
python t5_gpvae.py --task eval --dataset twitter_url \
    			   --kernel_v 512.0 --kernel_r 0.001 \
    			   --from_mean \
    			   --timestamp '2021-02-14-04-57-04' \
    			   --ckpt '30000' # load best checkpoint

where --data_file indicates the data path for the testing data,
--kernel_v and --kernel_r specifies the hyper-parameters for the kernel of GP prior,
--from_mean indicates whether to generate results conditioning on z_mean or randomly sampled z,
--timestamp and --ckpt indicate the file path for the best checkpoint.
