This repo is pip installable - clone it, optionally create a virtual env, and install it:
git clone https://github.com/XanderJC/attention-based-credit.git
cd attention-based-credit
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -e .The PPO implementation used is a small update to the TRL implementation, which it inherits from. Thus, please pay attention to the version used as TRL is very actively updated and breaking changes may have been introduced.
Scripts used to run the algorithms are in experiments/scripts, and each experiment in the paper has essentially its own corresponding script in experiments/bash which runs the necessary scripts to compile all the results, for example, to reproduce the experiment in Figure 3, navigate to the root directory and run:
bash experiments/bash/IMDb_base.shNote: The WandB entities for experiment tracking and result loading needs setting in the .env file in the root directory. The experiments were run on a machine with a single NVIDIA A6000 Ada card with 48GB VRAM, so any changes in setup may also require attention.
You can then generate the results and plots using:
python experiments/plotting/IMDb.pyNote: These can actually already be run without re-doing the experiments as I've saved cached results in results/numerics that the plotting scripts can access if --use_wandb false.
