Preparation

Our code is based on PyTorch 2.0.1 Required python packages:

pip install -r requirements.txt

How to run it

# Generate New Data
cd generation/multiwoz
python run.py # or bash run.sh batched 

# prepare real data
# see generation/converters/README.md

# Achieve Two-Stage Training
bash train.sh

# Evaluation
# see eval/README.md

You can directly use our generated data:

./generation/multiwoz/datas/multiwoz.json
