This repository contains the code for a similarity measure network using Capsule network.

Dependencies

This code is developed with the following environment:

• Python 2.7

• Keras 2.2.4

• Tensorflow 1.12.0 backend

• pip install -r requirements.txt

Train and evaluate on the CNN/DM summary pair dataset

Set up directory for training/testing data

$ git clone https://github.com/sangwoo3/summarization-dpp-capsnet.git & cd summarization-dpp-capsnet
$ mkdir data & cd data

Download the data

1. Download CNN/DM summary pair dataset from HERE and extract it under /data directory

• This summary dataset is pre-processed with 50k prevailing vocabularies in CNN/DM summary pair dataset. The label is 1 for a positive pair sentence, and 0 for a negative pair. The positive pair is a pair of a summary sentence and its most similar sentence in the source document that leads to the largest Rouge scores. The negative pair is a pair of the same summary sentence and a random sentence in the same document.

2. Download Glove word vectors of 50k vocabulary from HERE and place it under /data directory

• 6B tokens, 300d Glove word vectors are used LINK

3. If you want raw CNN/DM summary dataset, download from HERE.

• This data contains candiate summary sentences for each document. The data is pre-processed with the preprocess.py file to generate the above CNN/DM summary pair dataset.)

Training

$ python main_Capsnet.py

Testing

$ python main_Capsnet.py --testing

Testing on STS dataset

$ python main_Capsnet.py --testing --test_mode STS

Pre-trained Model

• Download the pre-trained model from HERE and place it under /result/capnet_sim directory

• /result/capnet_sim is a default directory for training results

• Download the model fine-tuned on STS dataset from HERE

• This model is trained on CNN/DM summary pair dataset and then fine-tuned on STS.

• It can be used to evaluate STS prediction accuracy.

System summary

We provide our best system summaries of DUC04 and TAC11. They are generated with DPP and in the system_summary directory. For DPP and multi-document dataset, we do not provide the code and dataset due to license. Please refer to DPP code and download DUC 03/04 and TAC 08/09/10/11 dataset with your request and approval.
