  cd CLV
  pip install -r requirements.txt

1.Parts that may need to be modified

In config.py:

    # mdoel_file
    output_dir = './Model'

    # evaluation_model_file
    consis_model_dir_EN = './Consis_Model/consis_model_EN.ckpt'
    consis_model_dir_ZH = './Consis_Model/consis_model_ZH.ckpt'
    
    # Data file format
    data_path = ['/Data/Persona_Dialoue_EN','/Data/Persona_Dialoue_ZH']
    
    # Whether to use learnable metrics, 
    # and if so, train the Consis_Model first
    model_metric = False

    # language switch
    data_language = 'EN' 

2.Data file format

• See the samples in the Data folder.

• Sample:

i have amazing children and grandchildren.i can sew my own clothes.i had cancer but its gone now.i am retired and living the great life.i do not have a smartphone.
