Tree-Structured Long Short-Term Memory Networks

This is a PyTorch implementation of Tree-LSTM as described in the paper Improved Semantic Representations From Tree-Structured Long Short-Term Memory Networks by Kai Sheng Tai, Richard Socher, and Christopher Manning. On the semantic similarity task using the SICK dataset, this implementation reaches:

  • Pearson's coefficient: 0.8492 and MSE: 0.2842 using hyperparameters --lr 0.010 --wd 0.0001 --optim adagrad --batchsize 25
  • Pearson's coefficient: 0.8674 and MSE: 0.2536 using hyperparameters --lr 0.025 --wd 0.0001 --optim adagrad --batchsize 25 --freeze_embed
  • Pearson's coefficient: 0.8676 and MSE: 0.2532 are the numbers reported in the original paper.
  • Known differences include the way the gradients are accumulated (normalized by batchsize or not).

Requirements

  • Python (tested on 3.6.5, should work on >=2.7)
  • Java >= 8 (for Stanford CoreNLP utilities)
  • Other dependencies are in requirements.txt Note: Currently works with PyTorch 0.4.0. Switch to the pytorch-v0.3.1 branch if you want to use PyTorch 0.3.1.

Usage

Before delving into how to run the code, here is a quick overview of the contents:

  • Use the script fetch_and_preprocess.sh to download the SICK dataset, Stanford Parser and Stanford POS Tagger, and Glove word vectors (Common Crawl 840) -- Warning: this is a 2GB download!), and additionally preprocees the data, i.e. generate dependency parses using Stanford Neural Network Dependency Parser.
  • main.pydoes the actual heavy lifting of training the model and testing it on the SICK dataset. For a list of all command-line arguments, have a look at config.py.
    • The first run caches GLOVE embeddings for words in the SICK vocabulary. In later runs, only the cache is read in during later runs.
    • Logs and model checkpoints are saved to the checkpoints/ directory with the name specified by the command line argument --expname.

Next, these are the different ways to run the code here to train a TreeLSTM model.

Local Python Environment

If you have a working Python3 environment, simply run the following sequence of steps:

- bash fetch_and_preprocess.sh
- pip install -r requirements.txt
- python main.py

Pure Docker Environment

If you want to use a Docker container, simply follow these steps:

- docker build -t treelstm .
- docker run -it treelstm bash
- bash fetch_and_preprocess.sh
- python main.py

Local Filesystem + Docker Environment

If you want to use a Docker container, but want to persist data and checkpoints in your local filesystem, simply follow these steps:

- bash fetch_and_preprocess.sh
- docker build -t treelstm .
- docker run -it --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",target="/root/treelstm.pytorch" treelstm bash
- python main.py

NOTE: Setting the environment variable OMP_NUM_THREADS=1 usually gives a speedup on the CPU. Use it like OMP_NUM_THREADS=1 python main.py. To run on a GPU, set the CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES instead. Usually, CUDA does not give much speedup here, since we are operating at a batchsize of 1.

Notes

  • (Apr 02, 2018) Added Dockerfile
  • (Apr 02, 2018) Now works on PyTorch 0.3.1 and Python 3.6, removed dependency on Python 2.7
  • (Nov 28, 2017) Added frozen embeddings, closed gap to paper.
  • (Nov 08, 2017) Refactored model to get 1.5x - 2x speedup.
  • (Oct 23, 2017) Now works with PyTorch 0.2.0.
  • (May 04, 2017) Added support for sparse tensors. Using the --sparse argument will enable sparse gradient updates for nn.Embedding, potentially reducing memory usage.
    • There are a couple of caveats, however, viz. weight decay will not work in conjunction with sparsity, and results from the original paper might not be reproduced using sparse embeddings.
