Repository Details

A framework for training and evaluating AI models on a variety of openly available dialogue datasets.

CircleCI CircleCI Coverage GitHub contributors Twitter

ParlAI (pronounced “par-lay”) is a python framework for sharing, training and testing dialogue models, from open-domain chitchat, to task-oriented dialogue, to visual question answering.

Its goal is to provide researchers:

ParlAI is described in the following paper: “ParlAI: A Dialog Research Software Platform", arXiv:1705.06476 or see these more up-to-date slides.

Follow us on Twitter and check out our Release notes to see the latest information about new features & updates, and the website http://parl.ai for further docs. For an archived list of updates, check out NEWS.md.

Interactive Tutorial

For those who want to start with ParlAI now, you can try our Colab Tutorial.

Installing ParlAI

Operating System

ParlAI should work as inteded under Linux or macOS. We do not support Windows at this time, but many users report success on Windows using Python 3.8 and issues with Python 3.9. We are happy to accept patches that improve Windows support.

Python Interpreter

ParlAI currently requires Python3.8+.

Requirements

ParlAI supports Pytorch 1.6 or higher. All requirements of the core modules are listed in requirements.txt. However, some models included (in parlai/agents) have additional requirements.

Virtual Environment

We strongly recommend you install ParlAI in a virtual environment using venv or conda.

End User Installation

If you want to use ParlAI without modifications, you can install it with:

cd /path/to/your/parlai-app
python3.8 -m venv venv
venv/bin/pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
venv/bin/pip install parlai

Developer Installation

Many users will want to modify some parts of ParlAI. To set up a development environment, run the following commands to clone the repository and install ParlAI:

git clone https://github.com/facebookresearch/ParlAI.git ~/ParlAI
cd ~/ParlAI
python3.8 -m venv venv
venv/bin/pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
venv/bin/python setup.py develop

Note
Sometimes the install from source maynot work due to dependencies (specially in PyTorch related packaged). In that case try building a fresh conda environment and running the similar to the following: conda install pytorch==2.0.0 torchvision torchaudio torchtext pytorch-cuda=11.8 -c pytorch -c nvidia. Check torch setup documentation for your CUDA and OS versions.

All needed data will be downloaded to ~/ParlAI/data. If you need to clear out the space used by these files, you can safely delete these directories and any files needed will be downloaded again.

Documentation

Examples

A large set of scripts can be found in parlai/scripts. Here are a few of them. Note: If any of these examples fail, check the installation section to see if you have missed something.

Display 10 random examples from the SQuAD task

parlai display_data -t squad

Evaluate an IR baseline model on the validation set of the Personachat task:

parlai eval_model -m ir_baseline -t personachat -dt valid

Train a single layer transformer on PersonaChat (requires pytorch and torchtext). Detail: embedding size 300, 4 attention heads, 2 epochs using batchsize 64, word vectors are initialized with fasttext and the other elements of the batch are used as negative during training.

parlai train_model -t personachat -m transformer/ranker -mf /tmp/model_tr6 --n-layers 1 --embedding-size 300 --ffn-size 600 --n-heads 4 --num-epochs 2 -veps 0.25 -bs 64 -lr 0.001 --dropout 0.1 --embedding-type fasttext_cc --candidates batch

Code Organization

The code is set up into several main directories:

  • core: contains the primary code for the framework
  • agents: contains agents which can interact with the different tasks (e.g. machine learning models)
  • scripts: contains a number of useful scripts, like training, evaluating, interactive chatting, ...
  • tasks: contains code for the different tasks available from within ParlAI
  • mturk: contains code for setting up Mechanical Turk, as well as sample MTurk tasks
  • messenger: contains code for interfacing with Facebook Messenger
  • utils: contains a wide number of frequently used utility methods
  • crowdsourcing: contains code for running crowdsourcing tasks, such as on Amazon Mechanical Turk
  • chat_service: contains code for interfacing with services such as Facebook Messenger
  • zoo: contains code to directly download and use pretrained models from our model zoo

Real Time Speech Enhancement in the Waveform Domain (Interspeech 2020)We provide a PyTorch implementation of the paper Real Time Speech Enhancement in the Waveform Domain. In which, we present a causal speech enhancement model working on the raw waveform that runs in real-time on a laptop CPU. The proposed model is based on an encoder-decoder architecture with skip-connections. It is optimized on both time and frequency domains, using multiple loss functions. Empirical evidence shows that it is capable of removing various kinds of background noise including stationary and non-stationary noises, as well as room reverb. Additionally, we suggest a set of data augmentation techniques applied directly on the raw waveform which further improve model performance and its generalization abilities.
