Implementation of our paper "Investigating Capsule Networks with Dynamic Routing for Text Classification" which is accepted by EMNLP18.
Requirements: Code is written in Python (2.7) and requires Tensorflow (1.4.1).

ACL19 preprint: "Towards Scalable and Reliable Capsule Networks for Challenging NLP Applications"
The reuters_process.py provides functions to clean the raw data and generate Reuters-Multilabel and Reuters-Full datasets. For quick start, please refer to Reuters for the Reuters-Multilabel dataset. For other datasets, please access to Others.
The utils.py includes several wrapped and fundamental functions such as _conv2d_wrapper, _separable_conv2d_wrapper and _get_variable_wrapper etc.
The layers.py implements capsule network including Primary Capsule Layer, Convolutional Capsule Layer, Capsule Flatten Layer and FC Capsule Layer.
The network.py provides the implementation of two kinds of capsule network as well as baseline models for the comparison.
The loss.py provides the implementation of three kinds of loss function: cross entropy, margin loss and spread loss.
