Order-Embeddings for WordNet completion

order-embeddings-wordnet

Code for the hypernym completion experiment from the paper "Order-Embeddings of Images and Language". See the other repo for the caption-image ranking and textual entailment experiments.

Dependencies

• Python 2 with a recent version of Numpy and nltk 3.0 for easy access to WordNet.
• Torch7 with the argparse package.

Create Datasets

Run

python preprocessWordnet.py
th createDatasets.lua

Training the Model

To train with default hyperparameters (the order-embedding model from the paper), run

th main.lua --epochs 20 --name "myfirstmodel"

or train your own version by setting any of the the flags in main.lua.

The resulting weights are stored in weights.t7. You can view traces of training and validation error by navigating to the vis_training directory, running

python -m SimpleHTTPServer

and pointing your browser to the server (usually localhost:8000).
