Secondly, install torch_geometric by following the instructions from the official website.

Then run the following script to install the remaining dependencies,

pip install -r requirements.txt

1. Download the PDTB 2.0 dataset, put it under /raw/
2. Run the following script for data preprocessing,

python3 preprocess.py

(P.S. PDTB 3.0 can be downloaded from https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2019T05. You can easily modify preprocess.py and adapt it to PDTB 3.0.)

Run the following script for training, evaludating, and testing,

python3 run.py
