Code for paper "Cross-lingual Transfer for Text Classification with Dictionary-based Heterogeneous Graph", EMNLP 2021 - findings.

DHGNet

Code repository for findings of EMNLP 2021 paper "Cross-lingual Transfer for Text Classification with Dictionary-based Heterogeneous Graph." [ACL] [arxiv]

Requirements

We tested the code on:

• python 3.6
• pytorch 1.9.0
• pytorch-geometric 1.7.2 (https://github.com/pyg-team/pytorch_geometric)
• fastai 1.0.61 (need to be v1: https://github.com/fastai/fastai1)
• embeddings (https://github.com/vzhong/embeddings)
• word2word (https://github.com/kakaobrain/word2word)

other requirements:

• numpy
• pandas
• scikit-learn
• gensim
• tqdm
• nltk
• pythainlp 2.3.1 (for Thai language tokenizer)

Usage

1. Extract data/text_cls.zip file for datasets.

2. Run the code in src folder using the command for training and evaluating DHGNet_en.

   • For Bosnian setting:
     python main.py bosnian --rnn_layers 1 --directed 0 --add_from_dict 30000 --name [output_model_name] .

   • For other settings (bengali,malayalam,tamil,thai_t,thai_w):
     python main.py [setting_name] --name [output_model_name] .

   • For DHGNet_multi, add a command option --langs ar,en,es,fa,fr,zh .

Note that the code will automatically download source word-embeddings (default fasttext) which may take time and disk space.
Optionally, you can download dump files that contain all related source word-embeddings for the aforementioned settings in https://1drv.ms/u/s!AkynV6rCKmmXkNBYwRchAWfurRkBrQ?e=NnOszA and put the files in folder data/word_emb/fasttext_wiki.
Then run the code with an additional command option --use_temp_only 1
** To run using only English as source, you can download only en.db_temp.pkl.
