# MP-CNN PyTorch Implementation
This is a PyTorch implementation of the following paper
* Hua He, Kevin Gimpel, and Jimmy Lin. [Multi-Perspective Sentence Similarity Modeling with Convolutional Neural Networks](http://aclweb.org/anthology/D/D15/D15-1181.pdf). *Proceedings of the 2015 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP 2015)*, pages 1576-1586.
Please ensure you have followed instructions in the main [README](../README.md) doc before running any further commands in this doc.
The commands in this doc assume you are under the root directory of the Castor repo.
## Pre-Trained Models
We have pre-trained models for SICK, TrecQA, and WikiQA in the [Castor-models](https://git.uwaterloo.ca/jimmylin/Castor-models) repository. They are trained using the commands in each of the dataset sections below and the evaluation metrics match the reported values in those sections in our environment.
| Dataset | Model file | Command to run pre-trained model |
| --------- |:--------------------------:|:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------:|
| SICK | mp_cnn/mpcnn.sick.model | `python -m mp_cnn ../Castor-models/mp_cnn/mpcnn.sick.model --dataset sick --skip-training` |
| TrecQA | mp_cnn/mpcnn.trecqa.model | `python -m mp_cnn ../Castor-models/mp_cnn/mpcnn.trecqa.model --dataset trecqa --holistic-filters 200 --skip-training` |
| WikiQA | mp_cnn/mpcnn.wikiqa.model | `python -m mp_cnn ../Castor-models/mp_cnn/mpcnn.wikiqa.model --dataset wikiqa --holistic-filters 100 --skip-training` |
If you want to train them yourself, please read on.
## SICK Dataset
To run MP-CNN on the SICK dataset, use the following command. `--dropout 0` is for mimicking the original paper, although adding dropout can improve results. If you have any problems running it check the Troubleshooting section below.
```
python -m mp_cnn mpcnn.sick.model.castor --dataset sick --epochs 19 --dropout 0 --lr 0.0005
```
| Implementation and config | Pearson's r | Spearman's p | MSE |
| -------------------------------- |:-------------:|:-------------:|:----------:|
| Paper | 0.8686 | 0.8047 | 0.2606 |
| PyTorch using above config | 0.8738 | 0.8116 | 0.2414 |
## TrecQA Dataset
To run MP-CNN on the TrecQA dataset, use the following command:
```
python -m mp_cnn mpcnn.trecqa.model --dataset trecqa --epochs 5 --holistic-filters 200 --lr 0.00018 --regularization 0.0006405 --dropout 0
```
| Implementation and config | map | mrr |
| -------------------------------- |:------:|:------:|
| Paper | 0.764 | 0.827 |
| PyTorch using above config | 0.777 | 0.821 |
This are the TrecQA raw dataset results. The paper results are reported in [Noise-Contrastive Estimation for Answer Selection with Deep Neural Networks](https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2983872).
## WikiQA Dataset
You also need `trec_eval` for this dataset, similar to TrecQA.
Then, you can run:
```
python -m mp_cnn mpcnn.wikiqa.model --epochs 10 --dataset wikiqa --epochs 5 --holistic-filters 100 --lr 0.00042 --regularization 0.0001683 --dropout 0
```
| Implementation and config | map | mrr |
| -------------------------------- |:------:|:------:|
| Paper | 0.693 | 0.709 |
| PyTorch using above config | 0.717 | 0.729 |
The paper results are reported in [Noise-Contrastive Estimation for Answer Selection with Deep Neural Networks](https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2983872).
To see all options available, use
```
python -m mp_cnn --help
```
## Optional Dependencies
To optionally visualize the learning curve during training, we make use of https://github.com/lanpa/tensorboard-pytorch to connect to [TensorBoard](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorboard). These projects require TensorFlow as a dependency, so you need to install TensorFlow before running the commands below. After these are installed, just add `--tensorboard` when running the training commands and open TensorBoard in the browser.
```sh
pip install tensorboardX
pip install tensorflow-tensorboard
```
