Want to Reproduce the experiment?

Enter --dataset=atis or --dataset=snips to use ATIS or Snips dataset.

Where to Put My Dataset?

You need to put your dataset under ./data/ and use --dataset=foldername. For example, your dataset is ./data/mydata, then you need to enter --dataset=mydata
Your dataset should be seperated to three folders - train, test, and valid, which is named 'train', 'test', and 'valid' by default setting of train.py. Each of these folders contain three files - word sequence, slot label, and intent label, which is named 'seq.in', 'seq.out', and 'label' by default setting of train.py. For example, the full path to train/slot_label_file is './data/mydata/train/seq.out' .
Each line represents an example, and slot label should use the IBO format.
Vocabulary files will be generated by utils.createVocabulary() automatically
You may see ./data/atis for more detail.

Requirements

tensorflow 1.4
python 3.5

Usage

some sample usage

• run with 32 units, atis dataset and no patience for early stop
   python3 train.py --num_units=32 --dataset=atis --patience=0

• disable early stop, use snips dataset and use intent attention version
   python3 train.py --no_early_stop --dataset=snips --model_type=intent_only

• use "python3 train.py -h" for all avaliable parameter settings

• Note: must type --dataset. If you don't want to use this flag, type --dataset='' instead.
