Are there any changes that I should do in self.model to get the same results?

kycg: <p>I’m trying to reproduce the results in Python 3 of this study: <a href="https://paperswithcode.com/paper/evaluating-semantic-parsing-against-a-simple" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">Evaluating Semantic Parsing against a Simple Web-based Question Answering Model by Alon Talmor, Mor Geva, Jonathan Berant</a></p>
<p>The original code is in Python 2 and the torch version used is 0.1.10. I’m having trouble in updating the training part of the code, specifically in the autograd.Variable part and I’m getting a different F1 score from theirs as well as the fx values even if I have the same values in question_train or x_val. Are there any changes that I should make in self.model?</p>
<p>Here is a snippet of the original code from candidate_classifier.py:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-auto">  def train(self, x_val, y_val):
        self.optimizer.zero_grad()

        fx = self.model.forward(x_val).resize(MAX_NUM_OF_CANDIDATES)

        output = self.loss.forward(fx, y_val)

        # Backward
        output.backward()

        # Update parameters
        self.optimizer.step()

        return {'loss':output,'fx':fx}

  def train_maxent_model(self,ablation_filter=None):
        all_weights = pd.DataFrame()

        if DO_PARAM_TEST:

            for LR in [2e-2, 5e-2, 12e-2]:
                for decay in [1e-7, 1e-6]:
                    for L2 in [3e-4, 8e-4 , 20e-4]:
                        param_list.append((LR,decay,L2))
        else:
            param_list = range(0, NUM_OF_RANDOM_SPLITS)

        for param in param_list:
            print 'new param  = ' + str(param)
            self.run_start_time = time.time()
            torch.manual_seed(42)
            self.max_score = 0

            # loading testing and training datasets
            # loading data:
            if DO_PARAM_TEST:
                self.load_features(0,False,ablation_filter)
            else:
                self.load_features(param,False,ablation_filter)

            print 'running on ' + self.feat_filename  + '!' + self.filter_filename

            self.model = nn.Conv1d(NUM_OF_FEATURES, 1, 1, stride=1)
            self.loss = torch.nn.CrossEntropyLoss(size_average=True)
            if DO_PARAM_TEST:
                self.optimizer = optim.Adagrad(self.model.parameters(), lr=param[0], lr_decay=param[1],
                                               weight_decay=param[2])

                self.optimizer = optim.Adagrad(self.model.parameters(), lr=ADA_GRAD_LR, lr_decay=ADA_GRAD_LR_DECAY,
                                           weight_decay=ADA_GRAD_L2)

                    #    continue


                    number_trained += 1

                    question_train = train_sample.view(MAX_NUM_OF_CANDIDATES, NUM_OF_FEATURES, 1)

                    # Note: we can have more then one true target in the spans
                    span_indexes = [int(target['span_index']) for target in targets]
                    target_tensor = torch.LongTensor(span_indexes)
                    target = autograd.Variable(target_tensor)

<p>What I’ve tried so far is to run it under the 2to3 program and for the autograd.Variable I removed it and just changed it to torch.tensor(). Additionally, I checked and compared the values for question_train and the values in the updated code for question_train are the same as the values in the original. The F1 score in their study is 51.4 but I’m getting 51.132. Thank you in advance.</p>
