Partially Shuffling the Training Data to Improve Language Models

This repository contains the code for the Partial Shuffle method, and a modified version of the DOC language model that utilizes this method.

If you'd like to run the DOC + Partial Shuffle models, use the same commands as in the original DOC model, presented here.

The code for the Partial Shuffle method itself is in partial_shuffle.py. If you'd like to use this method in your own language model, simply import partial_shuffle.py, and call it before each epoch, as in line 196 in main.py. No other modifications are required.
