Pass It On

README-老司机版

Corpus + Code + Trained Model for "pass it on" BiliBili meme.

Context

This repository might help study word-of-mouth rumor propagation, especially on how people reformulate and make a rumor (or a fact) more and more shocking (sometimes funny) when they pass it on and on...

Meanwhile, "pass it on" is also a BiliBili meme. People would write comment on videos or posts trying to deliberately misinterpret what the uploader originally means, resulting in funny word-of-mouth propagation.

Requirement

python 3.6
tensorflow 1.14.0
bert4keras 0.10.6
jieba

Data Description

We provide a corpus with 3w bilibili comments using the pattern of "pass it on" bilibili meme (namely, comments that start with "pass it on, ")

  • Data Distribution

We mainly crawled video/post comments from "top 100 uploaders of the year" for the last 3 years. Several channels with millions of followers such as Genshin Impact are also included as well. Note that the corpus is far from large enough to represent full BiliBili user/comment distribution.

  • Data Structure

The original data is saved as "corpus.json" in data folder, and it's a list of dictionary.

  • Two examples (elements) from data/corpus.json
{
    "context": {
        "bvid": "BV1Gb4y167gE",
        "uid": "476704454"
    },
    "rumors": [
        {
            "source": "热情的舟山人民把小文哥当海鲜吃了",
            "propagations": []
        },
        {
            "source": "5147779123",
            "propagations": [
                "舟山的海鲜把小文哥吃了",
                "舟山的海鲜想让小文哥吃人",
                "热情的小文哥把海鲜当成舟山人民吃了",
                "小文哥热情地把舟山上的海鲜吃了",
                "热情的海鲜在舟山到处吃小文哥",
                "热情的舟山海鲜把小文哥给吃了。",
                "舟山的热情海鲜把小文哥吃了",
                "小文哥带着热情的海鲜把舟山吃了"
            ]
        },
        {
            "source": "小文哥把舟山人民配海鲜吃了",
            "propagations": []
        }
    ]
},
{
    "context": {
        "bvid": "BV1Bw411d7r8",
        "uid": "476704454"
    },
    "rumors": [
        {
            "source": "小文哥吃了兄弟家一山头的桃",
            "propagations": []
        }
    ]
}

Explanations

  • Data Content

All data is collected from BiliBili video or post comments. When someone writes a comment with "pass it on" patterns, others would often follow and leave sub-comments with the same pattern. For example,

a comment : pass it on, the uploader says he likes this girl.
    sub-comment-1: pass it on, the uploader likes to be a girl
    sub-comment-2: pass it on, the uploader likes to be a boy
    sub-comment-3: pass it on, the uploader is a girl
    ...

For each element in data/corpus.json

context:   # so that one could refer to source page 
    bvid:  # video (post) id
    uid:   # user (uploader) id
rumors:    # a list containing rumors
    [
        {
            source:  #  source of rumors, might be a comment or just a comment_id (if source has no "pass it on" pattern)
            propagations:  # list of sub-comments, spreading the source in time order
        },
        {source, propagations},
        {source, propagations},
        ...
    ]

Training Data

We also derive "data/train.samples", the training data with common format of "sentence1 \t sentence2" line by line. It contains 290,000 sentence pairs.

Task Description

We treat the task simply as typical text generation:

  • Input: a rumor
  • Output: a spread rumor

The task is similar to text paraphrasing (generating similar sentences), but this time despite similar sentence formulation, we also want a semantic shift on purpose.

Besides, there's another challenge that lies in the one-to-many relationship between source and propagations.

Model Description

Architecture

We take advantage of roformer-sim pretrained generation-then-rank model as our backbone, since it's a good text paraphrasing baseline. Besides, in order to model the source-propagations one-to-many relationship as noted before, we add latent variable in a PLATO way, where a special token is prepended to input text representing a latent variable. Hence learning is slightly different as well.

Note: we are not 100% sure that our PLATO-like model implementation is correct [doge]

We open-source our model for public use. It's a 12-layer modified roformer model.

Inference

Note $your_model_path the model directory of downloaded model, then you could use command line to perform inference as follows:

python train_latent.py --do_predict --model_dir=$your_model_path --n=1 --topp=0.8 --text=any_text

Training

By default, we train for 10 epochs with batch_size=128. It's encouraged to apply pretrained checkpoint. (e.g., at line 30, checkpoint_path = "chinese_roformer-sim-char-ft_L-12_H-768_A-12")

python train_latent.py --model_dir=$your_model_dir --train=data/train.samples

Model Limits

Since it's totally a data-driven method, this model might generate weird or non-fluent sentences for unseen or out-of-domain inputs, which is quite reasonable.

By the way, any additional interesting corpus is welcomed.
