Simple Model for Sentence Compression

3-layered BILSTM model for sentence compression, referred as Baseline in Klerke et al., NAACL 2016.

Requirements

Framework

• python (<= 3.6)
• pytorch (<= 0.3.0)

Packages

• torchtext

How to run

./getdata
python main.py

To run the scripts with gpu, use this command python main.py --gpu-id ID, which ID is the integer from 0 to the number of gpus what you have.
