This contains the code corresponding to the publication Character-Level Question-Answering with Attention found at: https://arxiv.org/abs/1604.00727

To run the evaluation script first build the container:

Pull the container

docker pull davidgolub/simpleqa

docker run -it davidgolub/simpleqa /bin/bash

Then inside the container start the freebase server

cd /src/servers/FreebaseWebServer

pip install -r requirements.txt

cd src

python server.py & disown

Run the evaluation script

cd /src/datasets

th scripts/evaluate_sq_fb_dataset_v2.lua

We hope this code helps researchers explore character-level encoder-decoder frameworks to semantic parsing with KBs and many other tasks in NLP! Email golubd [at] stanford.edu if you have any questions.
