Error when running

[yijinhua]

Hi Cheng,

I am testing out implementations of auto-encoders for text but am getting error messages when I tried to run your code from the command line. It says:
/Users/yhua/torch/install/bin/luajit: ./util/BatchLoaderC.lua:98: attempt to index local 'f' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
./util/BatchLoaderC.lua:98: in function 'text_to_tensor'
./util/BatchLoaderC.lua:22: in function 'create'
LSTMAutoencoder.lua:61: in main chunk
[C]: in function 'dofile'
...yhua/torch/install/lib/luarocks/rocks/trepl/scm-1/bin/th:150: in main chunk
[C]: at 0x010b5cfbd0

Just wondering if I need to be loading in my own data set and if so how can I get the corpus? Thanks

I have the same issue... I suppose that following parameters in command line are required, see LSTMAutoencoder.lua :
cmd:text('Options')
cmd:option('-data_dir', 'corpus', 'path of the dataset')
cmd:option('-sample_dir', 'samples', 'path of the sampled sentences')
Corpus probably you can get from: http://yknzhu.wixsite.com/mbweb
