Sequence Generation Model for Multi-label Classification

This is the code for our paper SGM: Sequence Generation Model for Multi-label Classification [pdf]


Note

In general, this code is more suitable for the following application scenarios:

  • The dataset is relatively large:
    • The performance of the seq2seq model depends on the size of the dataset.
  • There exist some orders or dependencies between labels:
    • A reasonable prior order of labels tends to be helpful.

Requirements

  • Ubuntu 16.0.4
  • Python version >= 3.5
  • PyTorch version >= 1.0.0

Dataset

Our used RCV1-V2 dataset can be downloaded from google drive with this link. The structure of the folders on drive is:

Google Drive Root		   # The compressed zip file
 |-- data                          # The unprocessed raw data files
 |    |-- train.src        
 |    |-- train.tgt
 |    |-- valid.src
 |    |-- valid.tgt
 |    |-- test.src
 |    |-- test.tgt
 |    |-- topic_sorted.json        # The json file of label set for evaluation
 |-- checkpoints                   # The pre-trained model checkpoints
 |    |-- sgm.pt
 |    |-- sgmge.pt

We found that the valid-set in the previous version is so small that the model tends to overfit the valid-set, resulting in unstable performance. Therefore, we have expanded the valid-set. In addition, we also filtered out samples that contain more than 500 words in the original RCV1-V2 dataset.


Reproducibility

We provide the pretrained checkpoints of the SGM model and the SGM+GE model on the RCV1-V2 dataset to help you to reproduce our reported experimental results. The detailed reproduction steps are as follows:

  • Please download the RCV1-V2 dataset and checkpoints first by clicking on the link, then put them in the same directory as these codes. The correct structure of the folders should be:
Root
 |-- data                          
 |    |-- ...        
 |-- checkpoints                   
 |    |-- ...
 |-- models                   
 |    |-- ...
 |-- utils                   
 |    |-- ...
 |-- preprocess.py
 |-- train.py
 |-- ...
  • Preprocess the downloaded data:
python3 preprocess.py -load_data ./data/ -save_data ./data/save_data/ -src_vocab_size 50000

All the preprocessed data will be stored in the folder ./data/save_data/

  • Perform prediction and evaluation:
python3 predict.py -gpus gpu_id -data ./data/save_data/ -batch_size 64 -restore ./checkpoints/sgm.pt -log results/

The predicted labels and evaluation scores will be stored in the folder results


Training from scratch

Preprocessing

You can preprocess the dataset with the following command:

python3 preprocess.py \
	-load_data load_data_path \       # input file dir for the data
	-save_data save_data_path \       # output file dir for the processed data
	-src_vocab_size 50000             # size of the source vocabulary

Note that all data path must end with /. Other parameter descriptions can be found in preprocess.py


Training

You can perform model training with the following command:

python3 train.py -gpus gpu_id -config model_config -log save_path

All log files and checkpoints during training will be saved in save_path. The detailed parameter descriptions can be found in train.py


Testing

You can perform testing with the following command:

python3 predict.py -gpus gpu_id -data save_data_path -batch_size batch_size -log log_path

The predicted labels and evaluation scores will be stored in the folder log_path. The detailed parameter descriptions can be found in predict.py
