Author implementation of this NAACL 2021 paper.

1. Install pytorch 1.8.1 that fits your CUDA version

2. Install the rest of required packages

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Run this command to install NLTK punkt.

python -c "import nltk; nltk.download('punkt'); nltk.download('stopwords')"

4. Download the dataset from the official Spider dataset website

5. Edit the config files configs/defaults.jsonnet to update the location of the dataset:

local dataset_path = "dataset/";

Use the following command to train:

python exec.py 

First time loading of the dataset might take a while (a few hours) since the model first loads values from tables and calculates similarity features with the relevant question. It will then be cached for subsequent runs.
