+## Preprocess the data
+
+Run the ``data_util/preprocess.py`` as:
+
+```bash
+python preprocess.py <input_dir> <output_dir>
+```
+
+**Note:**
+
+This will create:
+* Data partition files as ``all_test.txt``, ``all_train.txt``, ``all_val.txt`` containing input file names
+
+* Data files as ``test.bin``, ``train.bin``, ``val.bin`` for those partitions
+
+* Tokenized version of the data in input_tokenized_dir/
+
+* Chunked version of the .bin files inside chunked/
+
+## Decode
+
+Run the ``start_decode.sh`` as:
+
+```bash
+start_decode.sh <model_dir> <input_data_dir> <out_dir>
+```
+
+**Note:**
+This will output decoded results and rouge scores inside the given directory.
