This repository contains the source code used by Tübingen-Oslo team in SemEval-2018 Multilingual Emoji Prediction Shared Task. The approach won the best place on both English and Spanish data sets.

The study is described in the paper:

Requirements

The repository includes only the code for the models. You need to get the data following the instructions at the shared task web page. For testing, a small sample is included in the repository.

Except standard Python libraries, scikit-learn, Keras (and Tensorflow) is required to run scripts in this repository.

A brief explanation of the scripts

All scripts run with Python 3 (may require some changes to run on Python 2). Most of the scripts are controlled thorough command line options and support -h option that gives a summary.

  • k-fold-linear.py runs k-fold cross validation using a bag-of-n-grams model with given hyperparameters on specified input, and reports . k-fold-linear.py -h gives a brief usage information.

    For example, python3 ./k-fold.py -r 0.1 -L word -f 2 -C 6 -W 2 -i data/sample trains/tests an SVM (default) classifier using a combination of character n-grams of 1 to 6 (-C), word n-grams of 1 to 2 (-W); it excludes n-grams with document frequency one (-f). The features are weighted with TF-IDF (default). The SVM margin parameter C is set to 0.1 (-r). The input is specified with its prefix, since the shared task data has sparate files for the text and the labels. For the above command, files data/sample.labels and data/sample.text should exist in the format specified by the shared task data description.

    To run a grid (or random) search for finding a good hyperparameter setting, one run this script, looping around a set of hyperparameter values. To avoid re-calculating/re-weighting the features, this script, by default, saves the "vectorizer" in directory .cache and will use a cached vectorizer if a matching one exists in the cache. The cached data is never cleaned, and may take considerable space if a large hyperparameter space is explored. A sample UNIX shell script for doing a grid search is included as grid-search-svm.sh.

  • predict-linear.py takes a set of command line parameters similar to k-fold-linear.py and a test file. It trains the model with the specified hyperparameters and the training file, and outputs the predicted labels. Output is simply a label-per-line with the same order as the corresponding texts in the test file.

  • rnn.py contains the code for the RNN-based classifier reported in the paper.

  • tune-rnn.py is wrapper around the rnn.py that does a random search over indicated hyperparameter ranges (specified at the top of the file), and outputs the validation score for each setting.

  • predict-rnn.py, similar to predict-linear.py, trains an RNN model and outputs the predicted labels on the indicated test set.

  • The scripts svm-incremental.py and rnn-incremental.py run the corresponding models with the given parameter setting, with increasing amount of training data and outputs the validation set scores. They are used for creating Figure 3 in the paper.
