The EsCVAE model: A Tensorflow implementation.

A Tensorflow Implementation of EsCVAE: "Learning to Converse Emotionally Like Humans: A Conditional Variational Approach" (Zhang R, Wang Z., CCF International Conference on Natural Language Processing and Chinese Computing 2018)

Usage

Run the escvae_nlpcc.py to run the model.

More Details of the data format will be updated soon.

Some Notes

1. Some details in this code is different from the paper. For example, we did not implement the beam search decoder here.
2. The hyper parameters are not fine-tuned in this implementation. Please modify the hyper parameters by yourself.
