Call for Customized Conversation: Customized Conversation Grounding Persona and Knowledge

Source codes for the baseline models of Call for Customized Conversation: Customized Conversation Grounding Persona and Knowledge, accepted at AAAI-22.

Environment Setting

We trained the models under the setting of python==3.7 and torch==1.5.0, with one RTX8000 GPU. Also, our codes are built on the codes of huggingface, and we utilized pytorch-ignite from pytorch in ignite folder.

1.Make a virtual environment

$conda create -n ENV_NAME python=3.7

2.Install pytorch==1.5.0

$conda install pytorch==1.5.0 torchvision==0.6.0 cudatoolkit=10.2 -c pytorch

3.Install the required libraries.

$pip install -r requirements.txt

Dataset [FoCus dataset v2]

This data is the modified version of the original data (which is reported in the paper) after ethical inspection.

FoCus v2 STATISTICS	Train	Valid
# dialogues	12,484	1,000
# avg rounds	5.63	5.64
# knowledge-only answers	37,488	3,007
# persona-knowledge answers	32,855	2,630
# landmarks	5,152	923
avg len of Human's utterances	40.70	40.21
avg len of Machine's utterances	138.16	138.60

You should create directories named infer_log_focus, train_log_focus, test_log_focus, models, data under FoCus folder.

We put train, valid, test files of the dataset in the data folder. (The test set will be available after March 2022.)

The project directory should follow this directory structure:
