git clone "https://github.com/Szzer1/EDACopilot.git"
conda create -n EDACopilot
conda activate EDACopilot
cd EDACopilot
pip install -r requirements.txt
cd EDACopilot/trans_format
python process_data.py
Note: Update your own OPENAI_API_KEY and OPENAI_API_URL in .env. Also, update the input and output paths in process_data.py.
cd EDACopilot/generation
- For QA pairs in text format
python qa_generation.py
- For script-style format
python script_format_generation.py
Note: Again, update OPENAI_API_KEY and OPENAI_API_URL and modify the input and output paths in qa_generation and script_format_generation.
