This repository contains a implementation of a Differentiable Neural Computer (DNC) with advancements for a more robust and
|
|
|
|
|
scalable usage in Question Answering. It is applied to:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [20 bAbI QA tasks](https://research.fb.com/downloads/babi/) with [state-of-the-art results](#babi-results)
|
|
|
|
|
- [CNN Reading Comprehension Task](https://github.com/danqi/rc-cnn-dailymail) with
|
|
|
|
|
passable results without any adaptation.

|
|
|
|
that the advancements lead to a more meaningful gate usage of the memory cell.

## How to use:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Setup ADNC
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To install ADNC and setup an virtual environment:
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/joergfranke/ADNC.git
|
|
|
|
|
cd ADNC/
|
|
|
|
|
python3 -m venv venv
|
|
|
|
|
source venv/bin/activate
|
|
|
|
|
pip install -e .
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Inference
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For bAbI inference, choose pre-trained model (DNC, ADNC, BiADNC) in `scripts/inference_babi_task.py` and run:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`python scripts/inference_babi_task.py`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For CNN inference, choose pre-trained model (ADNC, BiADNC) in `scripts/inference_cnn_task.py` and run:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`python scripts/inference_babi_task.py`
|
|
|
|
|
|
