# readAR - backend
[DevPost](https://devpost.com/software/readar-twh41m)

This repository contains the implementation of readAR's backend. You can find an implementation of BERT to peform word sense disambiguation served through a Flask API, as well as our image processing pipeline (`/API-azure-pipeline`).

Word Sense Disambiguation is the problem of determining which "sense" (meaning) of a word in the context of a sentence. This model is fine-tuned on the SemEval-2007 dataset and achieves 76.6% F1% score on the test dataset (`semcor.xml`). This is comparable to the current SOTA which achieves 81.2% F1% on the same dataset. The work here builds upon this paper,

> Wiedemann, G., Remus, S., Chawla, A., Biemann, C. (2019): [Does BERT Make Any Sense? Interpretable Word Sense Disambiguation with Contextualized Embeddings. Proceedings of KONVENS 2019](https://www.inf.uni-hamburg.de/en/inst/ab/lt/publications/2019-wiedemannetal-bert-sense.pdf), Erlangen, Germany.

### Running the example
The entire working model can be found as a Docker image. You can download it and run it as follows:

1. `docker pull jzhao2k19/bert-wsd:latest`
2. `docker run -p 5000:5000 jzhao2k19/bert-wsd:latest`

## How to train a new model
Run `chmod +x train.sh` to be able to run the script, then do `./train.sh` to begin training. It will take approximately 2 hours to retrain the embeddings. This will generate a new set of weights in a file called `BERT_semcor.pickle`.

#### Serving the model (without Docker)
Run `python server.py` to start a Flask server on `localhost:5000`. Hit it with a POST on `/api/wsd` with a form response containing a `sentence` and target `word`. First spin-up will take ~10s and any subsequent requests will take around 500ms. Keep in mind that running this will have required you to have trained a model before hand. If you would like to run one without training, look at `Running the example` for how to do it through docker.
