Chinese Idiom Paraphrasing

Chinese Idiom Paraphrasing (CIP), which goal is to rephrase the idioms of input sentence to generate a fluent, meaning-preserving sentence without any idiom:

Data in this dataset and several approaches:

• LSTM approach

• Transformer approach

• mt5 approach

• infill approach

Dependecies

• Python>=3.6
• torch>=1.7.1
• transformers==4.8.0
• fairseq==0.10.2

Pre-trained model

you can download all pre-trained models here(4s9n), and put it intomodeldirectory.

If you want train models from scratch, you need uses the pre-trained language models t5-pegasus (ZhuiyiTechnology) and place the models under the model directory after downloading.

Train

train LSTM and Transformer model by fairseq, you need process data for jieba and bpe tokenize sentence, we use scripts from Subword-nmt:

git clone https://github.com/rsennrich/subword-nmt

Then run

sh prepare.sh

train LSTM, Transformer, t5-pegasus, infill model

sh train_lstm.sh
sh train_transformer.sh
sh train_t5_pegasus.sh
sh train_infill.sh

Generate

Run the following command to generate

sh fairseq_generate.sh
sh generate_t5_pegasus.sh
sh generate_infill.sh
