How to run sample.py?

[nawb]

When I run python sample.py it just hangs. What should I expect? How long should I be waiting?

My understanding of sample.py is that it's the tester..so why is it training again?

When you run

$ python sample.py --checkpoint_dir="data/pathtocheckpoint/"

It will load the model and have a prompt something like:

This might appear like it is hanging, but is actually expected behaviour. You can type in what you want to say to the bot and hit enter. It will generate a response. It takes a lot of training to get anything sensible out of it.

I will update the README to better reflect this information (then close this issue). If this isn't clear, or if it isn't doing what you think it should be doing feel free to post here/re-open the issue.

Hi,
I was wondering if the format should be something like:
python sample.py --checkpoint_dir="data/checkpoints/numlayers_2_hsize_200_vsize_40000_max_tlength_50_max_slength_75/hyperparams.p"

Hi, I am in the process of updating the sample.py script. Unfortunately I updated the rest of the project but neglected it. I will need to push an update to get sample.py working as expected. I'll reopen this issue in the meantime.
