To save training time, all models used in the three different datasets are provided in the following path /data/<dataset_name>/models e.g., /data/deception/models. BERT parameters should be stored in the following path data/<dataset_name>/bert_fine_tune. Please download the folders from this link: https://tinyurl.com/bert-fine-tune-folder. Note that folders can be huge and may take time to download.

1. To save svm, svm_l1, xgb, and lstm features and their feature importance, run save_combinations.py.
   • Note that only save_combinations.py uses the downloaded shap package instead of the local one. As such, before running save_combinations.py, remember to set package path to run the downloaded shap package. Otherwise, simply rename local shap folder to something else so that save_combinations.py does not read from the local package. If you renamed local shap folder, remember to revert to the original folder name after running save_combinations.py so other files will not be affected.
2. To save lstm attention weights, run get_lstm_att_weights.py.
3. To save lstm SHAP, run python get_lstm_shap.py <dataset_name>.

1. Generate tsv files for bert:
   1. deception: run python data_retrieval.py deception
   2. yelp: run python data_retrieval.py yelp
   3. sst: run python data_retrieval.py sst
2. To save bert attention weights:
   1. deception: run python bert_att_weight_retrieval.py --data_dir data/deception --bert_model data/deception/bert_fine_tune/ --task_name sst-2 --output_dir /data/temp_output_dir/deception/ --do_eval --max_seq_length 300 --eval_batch_size 1
   2. yelp: run the above command, but replace deception with yelp, and change max_seq_length to 512
   3. sst: run the above command, but replace deception with sst, and change max_seq_length to 128
3. To save bert LIME:
   1. deception: run python bert_lime.py --data_dir data/deception --bert_model data/deception/bert_fine_tune/ --task_name sst-2 --output_dir /data/temp_output_dir/deception/ --do_eval --max_seq_length 300 --eval_batch_size 1
   2. yelp: run the above command, but replace deception with yelp, and change max_seq_length to 512
   3. sst: run the above command, but replace deception with sst, and change max_seq_length to 128
4. To save bert SHAP:
   1. deception: run python bert_shap.py --data_dir data/deception --bert_model data/deception/bert_fine_tune/ --task_name sst-2 --output_dir /data/temp_output_dir/deception/ --do_eval --max_seq_length 300 --eval_batch_size 1
   2. yelp: run the above command, but replace deception with yelp, and change max_seq_length to 512
   3. sst: run the above command, but replace deception with sst, and change max_seq_length to 128
5. Generate bert spans and white spans:
   1. deception: run python tokenizer_alignment.py --data_dir data/deception --bert_model data/deception/bert_fine_tune --task_name sst-2 --output_dir /data/temp_output_dir/deception/ --do_eval --max_seq_length 300
   2. yelp: run the above command, but replace deception with yelp, and change max_seq_length to 512
   3. sst: run the above command, but replace deception with sst, and change max_seq_length to 128
6. Align all bert features/tokens with correct weights, run python get_bert.py. Note: to generate bert related feature and its feature importance, it is important to follow the above steps in order.
