• Create a Python virtual environment using the preferred environment manager
• Install dependencies listed in requirements.txt

This is the project folder structure, highlighting the goal of each directory

• Kindergarten-VQ-VAE $\to$ project root directory

  • analyses $\to$ utility scripts to perform project analyses

    • unsupervised_vq_disentanglement $\to$ Analysis 1: does unsupervised Vector Quantization disentangle the 9 dSentences generative factors?
      • results $\to$ data gathered from Analysis 1, grouped by run ID

  • common $\to$ common utility scripts, classes and constants

  • datasets $\to$ dataset files

    • dSentences $\to$ dSentences dataset files

  • data $\to$ data-related files (e.g. pre-processing, PyTorch DataSet implementation)

    • dSentences $\to$ dSentences data-related files

  • models $\to$ PyTorch models

    • bagon $\to$ Attempt 1 $\to$ Pre-trained BERT Encoder, fine-tuned BERT Decoder LM head
    • bagon $\to$ Attempt 2 $\to$ Pre-trained BERT Encoder, fine-tuned BERT Decoder LM head, VQ from scratch

• Activate the virtual environment for this project
• cd into project root folder
• Change hyperparameters in models/bagon/config.py, if desired
• PYTHONPATH=. python3 models/bagon/main.py from the project root folder. Alternatively:
  • export PYTHONPATH=. once when you first start the terminal session you want to run the model in
  • python3 models/bagon/main.py
