Prerequisites

• Window
• Conda (Python 3.6)
• CPU or NVIDIA GPU + CUDA CuDNN

Getting Started

Installation

• Install PyTorch 1.3.1 and torchvision 0.4.1 from http://pytorch.org and other dependencies (e.g., visdom and dominate). You can install all the dependencies by

bat
call conda remove -n py36df
call conda create -n py36df python=3.6 
call conda activate py36df
call conda install pytorch==1.3.1 -c pytorch
pip install cmake
pip install -r requirements.txt

Quick Start (Apply a Pre-trained Model)

• Download a pre-trained model from (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1cQx9hPOJ18sU5HPGkbRTJ-e6cYqqHUHh)

cd sse
sse.exe "-i index_file -v vocabulary -f filelist -n 8"
call conda activate py36df
python demo.py
