Title: TripleNet: Triple Attention Network for Multi-Turn Response Selection in Retrieval-based Chatbots
Authors: Wentao Ma, Yiming Cui, Nan Shao, Su He, Wei-Nan Zhang, Ting Liu, Shijin Wang, Guoping Hu
Link: https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/K19-1069.pdf

News

We have uploaded our source codes and put the dicts for the model in google drive.

Notes

For reproducing the performance of TripleNet, please download the datasets of Ubuntu and Douban and put them in the 'data' directory, then train or test the model just like the scripts in 'shell'. As we read the data via generator, so please shuffle the traning set before training.

Requirements

Python3.6
Keras2.2.4 (or >=2.0)
Tensorflow1.10.0 (or >=1.10.0)
(We run the codes in Python3.6 + Keras2.2.4 + Tensorflow1.10.0)
