I thought your paper was very interesting, so I decided to look at your code. Unfortunately, I have not been able to get it running. Any advice would be appreciated. See below.

Thanks,

The application appears to be confused between tensorflow flags and your application flags.

$ python launcher_ner_bilingual.py --agent "CNNDQN" --episode 10000 --budget 1000 --train "en.train;en.testa;en.testb;en.emb;en.model.saved" --test "de.train;de.testa;de.testb;de.emb;de.model.saved"

It maybe because the tensorflow version I used was a little old. Please use tensorflow 1.0.0 (pip install tensorflow==1.0.0) to solve the problem "FLAGS._parse_flags()'' instead.
