What are the requirements for the input text?

[Indrajith Indraprastham]

To generate new questions this line is used where config-trans specifies the input text:

$> th translate.lua -model model/<model file name> -config config-trans

1) What is the requirement of the input text? (stop words or any other requirements)

For sentence level model.
2) What qualifies as a good sentence for generating a question?

For paragraph level model.
3) On what basis should I split the paragraph into a sentence.

For sentence level model, I tried to generate questions by splitting input text into sentences based on . and gave the text file path in src field in config-trans.

For paragraph level model, I did the . based splitting for src file and for par file, I repeated the paragraph for each sentence in src.

Input text:
One of the most basic techniques of molecular biology to study protein function is molecular cloning. In this technique, DNA coding for a protein of interest is cloned using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and/or restriction enzymes into a plasmid ( expression vector). A vector has 3 distinctive features: an origin of replication, a multiple cloning site (MCS), and a selective marker usually antibiotic resistance. Located upstream of the multiple cloning site are the promoter regions and the transcription start site which regulate the expression of cloned gene.

Where am I doing it wrong?

Note: From the paper ;
DirectIn is an intuitive yet meaningful baseline in which the longest sub-sentence of the sentence is directly taken as the predicted question. To split the sentence into sub-sentences, we use a set of splitters, i.e. , {“?”, “!”, “,”, “.”, “;”}.

Hi, were you able to get around this?
I was wondering if we could obtain how they converted 'nqg/raw/' files to 'nqg/processed', then we should know how it was converted.

whats the format for the text file which needs to be replaced in the paragraph/preprocess_embedding.sh file ??

Can i use this file ? glove.840B.300d.txt

or is there a way to generate a embedding text file by my own ??

--embedding ../../archive/embeddings/glove.840B.300d.txt need to be replaced with the location of your word-vec pre-trained model glove.840B.300d.txt which can be downloaded from here . You can create your own word2vec trained model but pre-trained word2vec is from common crawl dataset, which I think is pretty good.

@indrajithi
where you able to give your own custom data as an input ?

[suresh96458]

@xinyadu can you help on how to give custom input data for predictions also as we have no idea how to convert from raw data to processed folder.
