Requirement

1. gensim

   pip install gensim

2. Tensorflow 1.9-1.12 + Python2.7

Steps

1. Download the Ubuntu dataset released by (Xu et al, 2017)

2. Unzip the dataset and put data directory into data/

3. Preprocess dataset, including concatenatate context and build vocabulary

   cd data
   python prepare.py

4. Train word2vec

   bash run_train_word2vec.sh

5. Train and test ESIM, the log information is in log.txt file. You could find an example log file in log_example.txt.

   cd scripts/esim
   bash run.sh
