Baseline

This year's baseline is a ensembled neural transition system based on the imitation learning paradigm introduced by Makarov & Clematide (2018).

How to use

1. The baseline requires Python 3.7. If your system does not use Python 3.7 by default (i.e., see python --version for your default Python), create and activate either:

   • a 3.7 virtualenv:

   virtualenv --python=python3.7 sigmorphon
   source sigmorphon/bin/activate

   • or a 3.7 Conda environment:

   conda create --name=sigmorphon python=3.7
   conda activate sigmorphon

2. Install the requirements and the library itself:

   pip install --upgrade pip
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   pip install .

3. Run the sweep (may take a while):

   ./sweep
