Installation

Demo

A demo (combined with Patrick's coref model) is here.

Inference Only

If you use SpanFinder only for inference, we provide a checkpoint that was trained on FrameNet v1.7. This example shows the basic API of SpanFinder. Note that the script will incur a checkpoint download everytime, so the best way is to download the checkpoint to local (~1.7GiB), or better extract it out, and then point the -m argument to the archived file or extracted folder.

Training

For training, you may need to read an overall document, the doc for data, and the doc for training.
