Python 3.6, PyTorch 0.2.0

./get_data.sh

First, train the model

python main.py --data data/penn --dropouti 0.4 --dropoutl 0.29 --dropouth 0.225 --seed 28 --batch_size 12 --lr 20.0 --epoch 1000 --nhid 960 --nhidlast 620 --emsize 280 --n_experts 15 --save PTB --single_gpu

Second, finetune the model

python finetune.py --data data/penn --dropouti 0.4 --dropoutl 0.29 --dropouth 0.225 --seed 28 --batch_size 12 --lr 25.0 --epoch 1000 --nhid 960 --emsize 280 --n_experts 15 --save PATH_TO_FOLDER --single_gpu

where PATH_TO_FOLDER is the folder created by the first step (concatenation of PTB with a timestamp).

Third, run dynamic evaluation

python dynamiceval.py --model PATH_TO_FOLDER/finetune_model.pt --lamb 0.075

First, train the model

python main.py --epochs 1000 --data data/wikitext-2 --save WT2 --dropouth 0.2 --seed 1882 --n_experts 15 --nhid 1150 --nhidlast 650 --emsize 300 --batch_size 15 --lr 15.0 --dropoutl 0.29 --small_batch_size 5 --max_seq_len_delta 20 --dropouti 0.55 --single_gpu

Second, finetune the model

python finetune.py --epochs 1000 --data data/wikitext-2 --save PATH_TO_FOLDER --dropouth 0.2 --seed 1882 --n_experts 15 --nhid 1150 --emsize 300 --batch_size 15 --lr 20.0 --dropoutl 0.29 --small_batch_size 5 --max_seq_len_delta 20 --dropouti 0.55 --single_gpu

Third, run dynamic evaluation

python dynamiceval.py --data data/wikitext-2 --model PATH_TO_FOLDER/finetune_model.pt --epsilon 0.002

This will yield the same results as using one single GPU, but will be faster.

First, train the model

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2 python main.py --epochs 1000 --data data/wikitext-2 --save WT2 --dropouth 0.2 --seed 1882 --n_experts 15 --nhid 1150 --nhidlast 650 --emsize 300 --batch_size 15 --lr 15.0 --dropoutl 0.29 --small_batch_size 15 --max_seq_len_delta 20 --dropouti 0.55

Second, finetune the model

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2 python finetune.py --epochs 1000 --data data/wikitext-2 --save PATH_TO_FOLDER --dropouth 0.2 --seed 1882 --n_experts 15 --nhid 1150 --emsize 300 --batch_size 15 --lr 20.0 --dropoutl 0.29 --small_batch_size 15 --max_seq_len_delta 20 --dropouti 0.55

Third, run dynamic evaluation

python dynamiceval.py --data data/wikitext-2 --model PATH_TO_FOLDER/finetune_model.pt --epsilon 0.002
