Knover

Knover is a toolkit for knowledge grounded dialogue generation based on PaddlePaddle. Knover allows researchers and developers to carry out efficient training/inference of large-scale dialogue generation models.

What’s New:

February 2021: We are opening our implementation (Team 19) in DSTC9-Track1.
July 2020: We are opening PLATO-2, a large-scale generative model with latent space for open-domain dialogue systems.

Requirements and Installation

python version >= 3.7
paddlepaddle-gpu version >= 2.0.0
- You can install PaddlePaddle following the instructions.
- The specific version of PaddlePaddle is also based on your CUDA version (recommended version: 10.1) and CuDNN version (recommended version: 7.6). See more information on PaddlePaddle document about GPU support

If you want to run distributed training, you’ll also need NCCL
Install Knover locally:

git clone https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Knover.git
cd Knover
pip3 install -e .

Or you can setup PYTHONPATH only:

export PYTHONPATH=/abs/path/to/Knover:$PYTHONPATH

Basic usage

See usage document.
