Flair English sentiment model download

Question

I'm trying to download the en-sentiment model using the following code:

clf = TextClassifier.load('en-sentiment')

but I'm getting the following SSL error:

SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='nlp.informatik.hu-berlin.de', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /resources/models/sentiment-curated-distilbert/sentiment-en-mix-distillbert_4.pt (Caused by SSLError(SSLError(1, '[SSL] unknown error (_ssl.c:1129)')))

I understand this is an issue with my firewall but I can't seem to get around it. I've tried installing openssl in my virtual env but this isn't working. I understand you can download the model manually but I can't find where to download them from.

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Max retries exceeded with url says it all. Are you sure you can ping the address: nlp.informatik.hu-berlin.de?

Are you sure you can access the resource with web browser?

Please check if you are behind a proxy or firewall and if the certificate of the page is valid. Once you can access with web browser, you are going to be able to run your code.
