# Emergent Communication at Scale

- If running experiments, familiarize yourself with `helper.py` at the very
  least as this defines the hyperparameters for each config as provides useful
  options like skipping training and doing eval only.
- For changing hyperparameters, please see
  `emergent_communication_at_scale/configs/lewis_config.py` for the list of
  hyperparameters (and their defaults).
- We are not able to replicate the 50x50 experiment even with an A100 80 GiB
  possibly because the original experiment were run on a TPU.
- If using conda/mamba, create the environment with `--channel-priority
  flexible`. This is needed due to conda-forge not having all of the necessary
  packages and the nvidia channel not specifying dependencies correctly.
