Have not found Monte Carlo Sampling in the code

[fangkuann]

Hi, Thanks for releasing the code for active-qa. After browsing the code, I did not find Monte-Carlo Sampling in the training stage. It seems that each training instance consists of only one 「query, reformulated_query, reward」 tuple. Therefore, the reward is the same for each token in one reformulated query. I don't know whether the suspicion is right. If it is right, what will model perform with or without Monte-Carlo sampling? Maybe using only one instance for Monte Carlo sampling is like the relation between stochastic gradient descent and gradient descent? Thank you

me the same, have you finger out the problem?or get a new version code? @fangkuann

I didn't try that. But we apply the paper's training method in our query rewrite module, then the retrieve performance could be enhanced. We further improved this method by adding a value network, for details you may refer to this Chinese technic article https://www.6aiq.com/article/1577969687897.

@fangkuann Yes, I follow this article to here. May I ask some question by email? I couldn't found a way to concat you. Send a message to [email protected] if it's ok, thanks a lot
