Emergent Communication at Scale
- If running experiments, familiarize yourself with
helper.py
at the very least as this defines the hyperparameters for each config as provides useful options like skipping training and doing eval only. - For changing hyperparameters, please see
emergent_communication_at_scale/configs/lewis_config.py
for the list of hyperparameters (and their defaults). - We are not able to replicate the 50x50 experiment even with an A100 80 GiB possibly because the original experiment were run on a TPU.
- If using conda/mamba, create the environment with
--channel-priority flexible
. This is needed due to conda-forge not having all of the necessary packages and the nvidia channel not specifying dependencies correctly.
