Deep Learning for Text Pairs Relation Classification

This repository is my bachelor graduation project, and it is also a study of TensorFlow, Deep Learning (CNN, RNN, etc.).

The main objective of the project is to determine whether the two sentences are similar in sentence meaning (binary classification problems) by the two given sentences based on Neural Networks (Fasttext, CNN, LSTM, etc.).

Requirements

• Python 3.6
• Tensorflow 1.15.0
• Tensorboard 1.15.0
• Sklearn 0.19.1
• Numpy 1.16.2
• Gensim 3.8.3
• Tqdm 4.49.0

Innovation

Data part

1. Make the data support Chinese and English (Can use jieba or nltk ).
2. Can use your pre-trained word vectors (Can use gensim).
3. Add embedding visualization based on the tensorboard (Need to create metadata.tsv first).

Model part

2. Add the correct L2 loss calculation operation.
3. Add gradients clip operation to prevent gradient explosion.
4. Add learning rate decay with exponential decay.
5. Add a new Highway Layer (Which is useful according to the model performance).
6. Add Batch Normalization Layer.
7. Add several performance measures (especially the AUC) since the data is imbalanced.

Code part

1. Can choose to train the model directly or restore the model from the checkpoint in train.py.
2. Can create the prediction file which including the predicted values and predicted labels of the Testset data in test.py.
3. Add other useful data preprocess functions in data_helpers.py.
4. Use logging for helping to record the whole info (including parameters display, model training info, etc.).
5. Provide the ability to save the best n checkpoints in checkmate.py, whereas the tf.train.Saver can only save the last n checkpoints.

Data

See data format in /data folder which including the data sample files. For example:

{"front_testid": "4270954", "behind_testid": "7075962", "front_features": ["invention", "inorganic", "fiber", "based", "calcium", "sulfate", "dihydrate", "calcium"], "behind_features": ["vcsel", "structure", "thermal", "management", "structure", "designed"], "label": 0}

• "testid": just the id.
• "features": the word segment (after removing the stopwords)
• "label": 0 or 1. 1 means that two sentences are similar, and 0 means the opposite.

Text Segment

1. You can use nltk package if you are going to deal with the English text data.

2. You can use jieba package if you are going to deal with the Chinese text data.

Data Format

This repository can be used in other datasets (text pairs similarity classification) in two ways:

1. Modify your datasets into the same format of the sample.
2. Modify the data preprocessing code in data_helpers.py.

Anyway, it should depend on what your data and task are.

Pre-trained Word Vectors

You can download the Word2vec model file (dim=100). Make sure they are unzipped and under the /data folder.

You can pre-training your word vectors (based on your corpus) in many ways:

• Use gensim package to pre-train data.
• Use glove tools to pre-train data.
• Even can use a fasttext network to pre-train data.

🤔Before you open the new issue, please check the data sample file under the data folder and read the other open issues first, because someone maybe ask the same question already.
