Sequence-to-Sequence Continuous Diffusion Language Models for Control Style Transfering

This repository is the official implementation of the models introduced in Sequence-to-Sequence Continuous Diffusion Language Models for Control Style Transfering.

The implementation is based on the BERT replication of Diffusion-LM Improves Controllable Text Generation.

Setup

All models were trained using an NVIDIA A6000 GPU with 45 GiB RAM, in 20 epochs, with 250-500 diffusion steps. Details can be found in the paper.

Requirements

To install requirements:

pip install -r requirements.txt

A pre-trained model is required as the backbone model for all of the models introduced in the paper. Some suggested models:

• bert-tiny
• bert-mini
• bert-base-uncased

The downloaded pre-trained model should be put inside base/.

Training

To train the model, run this command:

python -m train.py

All checkpoints can be found in domains/[DATASET NAME]/checkpoints/.
