• torchtext 0.8.0

• nltk 3.6.2

  nltk packages: wordnet_ic, averaged_perceptron_tagger, wordnet

• tensorflow 1.12

• scipy 1.7.1

• matplotlib 3.4.3

• sklearn 1.0

Data

• Persona-Chat:

The way to divide the persona dataset comes from https://github.com/squareRoot3/Target-Guided-Conversation. You can get the raw dataset at google drive. Download and unzip it into the directory resource.

Besides, we use glove.6B.300d to initialize the graph-embedding. You can download it from fastnlp. Download and unzip it into the directory resource.

Finally, run the script for data preprocessing:

bash src/persona_preprocess.sh

By default, the divided dataset will be put into the raw_data/persona directory and the graph-related data will be put into the graph_data/persona directory.

• Weibo:

You can download the cleaned dataset at Baidu Pan(extract code: kbiz). Download and unzip it into the directory resource.

We use cn_bi_fastnlp_100d to initialize the graph-embedding. You can download it from fastnlp. Download and unzip it into the directory resource.

After that, run the script for data preprocessing to get the necessary data in the program:

bash src/weibo_preprocess.sh

By default, the dataset will be put into the raw_data/weibo directory and the graph-related data will be put into the graph_data/weibo directory.
