tensorflow-DSMM

Ongoing project for implementing various Deep Semantic Matching Models (DSMM). DSMM is widely used for:

• duplicate detection
• sentence similarity
• question answering
• search relevance
• ...

Quickstart

Data

This project is developed with regard to the data format provided in the 第三届魔镜杯大赛.

You can see /data/DATA.md for the data format description and prepared data accordingly. Your data should be placed in the data directory. Current data directory also holds a toy data.

If you want to run a quick demo, you can download data from the above competition link. Download is allowed after registration.

Supported Models

Representation based methods

• DSSM style models
  • DSSM: use FastText as encoder
  • CDSSM: use TextCNN as encoder
  • RDSSM: use TextRNN/TextBiRNN as encoder

Interaction based methods

• MatchPyramid style models
  • MatchPyramid: use identity/cosine similarity/dot product as match matrix
  • General MatchPyramid: use match matrices based on various embeddings and various match scores
    • word embeddings
      • original word embedding
      • compressed word embedding
      • contextual word embedding (use an encoder to encode contextual information)
    • match score
      • identity
      • cosine similarity/dot product
      • element product
      • element concat
• BCNN style models
  • BCNN
  • ABCNN1
  • ABCNN2
  • ABCNN3
• ESIM
• DecAtt (Decomposable Attention)

Building Blocks

Encoder layers

• TextCNN (Gated CNN and also Residual Gated CNN)
• TextRNN/TextBiRNN with GRU and LSTM cell

Attention layers

• mean/max/min pooling
• scalar-based and vector-based attention
• self and context attention
