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
2018-07-05 07:06:06 +08:00
[passable results](#cnn-results) without any adaptation or hyper-parameter tuning.

This repository is the groundwork for the MRQA 2018
paper submission "Robust and Scalable Differentiable Neural Computer for Question Answering". It contains a modular and
fully configurable DNC with the following advancements:

## How to use:
### Setup ADNC
2018-07-05 07:06:06 +08:00
To setup an virtual environment and install ADNC:
2018-07-03 05:12:09 +08:00
```
git clone https://github.com/joergfranke/ADNC.git
cd ADNC/
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .
```
### Inference
2018-07-05 07:06:06 +08:00
The repository contains different pre-trained models in the experiments folder.
For __bAbI inference__, choose pre-trained model e.g. adnc and run:
2018-07-03 05:12:09 +08:00
2018-07-05 07:06:06 +08:00
`python scripts/inference_babi_task.py adnc`
2018-07-03 05:12:09 +08:00
2018-07-05 07:06:06 +08:00
Possible models are `dnc`, `adnc`, `biadnc` on bAbi Task 1 and `biadnc-all`, `biadnc-aug16-all` for all bAbI tasks with or without augmentation of task 16.
For __CNN inference__ of pre-trained ADNC and run:
2018-07-03 05:12:09 +08:00
`python scripts/inference_babi_task.py`
2018-07-05 07:06:06 +08:00
2018-07-03 05:12:09 +08:00
### Training
2018-07-05 07:06:06 +08:00
The configuration file `scripts/config.yml` contains the full config of the ADNC training. The training script can be run with:
`python scripts/start/training.py`
It starts a bAbI training and plots every epoch a function plot to control the training progress.
