Why i getting Highway.forward: `input` must be present when running : from elmoformanylangs import Embedder

Question

I am trying to use ELMoForManyLangs programmatically, by using Embedder python object.

from elmoformanylangs import Embedder
e = Embedder('/content/drive/MyDrive/ColabNotebooks/158', batch_size = 64)

When I run, I am getting the following error:

TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)

Do you have any suggestions to fix it?

Answer 1

I had the same issue. It seems to be a problem related to overrides package. I solve downgrading the 'overrides' package in my virtual-env. In particular I switched from overrides==6.0.1 to overrides==3.1.0.

So you should try to do:

pip uninstall overrides
pip install overrides==3.1.0
