rr-experiments

Experiments with rational recurrences, pooling functions, and absolute values.

Usage

Installation

Built using allennlp. We use the fastai QRNN implementation.

pip install allennlp
pip install fastai

For some reason, jsonnet isn't supported on Windows, so we recommend running this on Mac/Linux so that the config macros work properly.

Training

RNN=lstm LAYERS=1 allennlp train configs/max_difference.jsonnet \
    -s /tmp/lstm --include-package rr_experiments

The RNN architecture is specified by RNN. Some example options are rnn, gru, lstm, and qrnn. It's pretty easy to define and register your own Seq2SeqEncoder to slot in here. The variable LAYERS specifies how many RNN layers to use.

Evaluation

To evaluate on 500 sentences of length 2048:

allennlp evaluate /tmp/lstm/model.tar.gz 500:2048 --include-package rr_experiments

To disable CUDA, set cuda_device: -1 in configs/max_difference.jsonnet.
