Just to confirm, before ppl was 160, and now it is 5.45?

Clearly the answers are not great, but they seem to be more diverse now and some are reasonable (questions with questions). I donā€™t really know what good would be yet on this dataset, as evaluating chatbots is still tough.

Would you by any chance want to post your model? We would give you credit and a link.

On epoch 116,

  • PPL(training data): 5.45
  • PPL(validation data): 2608 (surprisingly at epoch 16, it was 186.03)

Something is strange, you have a lot of empty answers, and it does not seem that any of the answer is really adapted to the question - how big is the training corpus?
what is the size of the network? Could you give the output for your epoch 16? the fact that your PPL is increasing on validation data means that you are overfitting: the network has started to memorize answers

The dataset is cornell movie corpus(222,616 pairs) as I mentioned before.
I separated it into train(183,941), valid(22,162), and test(15,513).
I used 3 layers with 1000 rnn size, and 300 word embedding size.
You can see the whole parameters as below.

th preprocess.lua -train_src data/movie/train.src.txt -train_tgt data/movie/train.dst.txt -valid_src data/movie/valid.src.txt -valid_tgt data/movie/valid.dst.txt -save_data results/movie

th train.lua -gpuid 1 -data results/movie-train.t7 -save_model results/movie-model -layers 3 -rnn_size 1000 -word_vec_size 300 -brnn_merge ā€˜concatā€™

And the initial result from epoch 16 is not good either.

(omitted)

From this result, I donā€™t think that PPL guarantees how good the conversational model is.
I wonder if anyone successfully could reproduce googleā€™s result.
Isnā€™t there any idea?

Thanks. I will give a try too - the fact that there is no answer that have anything to do with source is really weird - it seems that the only ability of the system is to generate reasonable sentence which shows on the PPL.

google experiment is using whole opensubtitle has training data which is 62M sentences sentence pair - I will also start on a bigger dataset

@jean.senellart
If you can see there is no answer, it is because of ā€œunkā€ token with brackets.
In this post, bracket is used for blockquote mark.
So donā€™t put any meaning on no answer in response.

The real problem is unreasonable responses.
If this problem is solved through bigger dataset, it will be awesome.
And PPL is just like measurement score for language model, so it doesnā€™t give any score how reasonable the response is given a request.
BLEU can be used for machine translation, but Iā€™m not sure.

Hi @higgs. (I fixed the <unk> display in your logs)

I built a OpenSubtitle corpus and opened a new tutorial topic for follow-up. We have a huge corpus to experiment :slight_smile: - please contribute !

I will kick off a training on my side with following set-up close to the original set-up:

  • remove all sentences with <unk> in target
  • 2 layers, 4096 LSTM, no attention model.

@jean.senellart

Using lager dialog corpus would be a good option since google paper mentioned they used 62M sentences.
Due to your dataset(14M), I am now training again.
But I could not use 2 layers with 4096 LSTM because of ā€œout-of-memoryā€ in GTX Titan(12G mem).
Letā€™s see the result after several days.

on my side, 4096 passes by reducing maximum sentence length (20 in source, 30 in target) which drops less than 2% of the sentences.

Are there any online demos for any good-working models? iā€™d like to try some queries. And i think we should release some good queries for testing ,so one can make a comparison between results of his model and othersā€™

you can try the model described here at this url: http://chatbot.mysystran.com.

Could you make this tutorial open source into the opennmt? The responses are quite nice i think, at least in terms of grammar.

Hi @jean.senellart
I have trained OpenNMT for chatbot.
Now to put this chatbot in production, I am unable to find the ways to do so.
One of the option which I found out was the Translation server option provided. But is it suitable for production use?
Also, can you please provide me the source code how to build an interface similar to
http://chatbot.mysystran.com/
I am quite impressed by it and want a similar interface for my work.
I would be highly obliged if you could please help me with this.

Hi,

Yes, it is suitable for light to moderate usage. If your requirements are higher than that, you should probably have the resources to build something on your own.

Except for the underlying OpenNMT technology, this demo is not open source.

Hi @guillaumekln,
thanks for the reply.
OK I understand that demo is not open source. At least can you tell me that u have used the same translation server as available to create your demo interface or have used something else?

I confirm it is using the OpenNMT-lua translation server.

OK thanks a lot
