I am trying to start an NLP project using spacy transformers. When trying to install bertbaseuncased I'm getting this error:
✘ No compatible package found for 'en_trf_bertbaseuncased_lg' (spaCy
v3.6.0)
I've been researching for quite some time and haven't found anything to solve my issue. Here is what I'm running in the command line:
> pip install spacy-transformers
> python -m spacy download en_trf_bertbaseuncased_lg
as per https://explosion.ai/blog/spacy-transformers
the spacy-transformers installation works just fine. I also tried different packages and they gave me similar errors.
This is addressed in a discussion on the Spacy github repo.
The explanation of the error is that en_trf_bertbaseuncased_lg is a Spacy 2.x model and you are using 3.x.
Instead of said model, you can download and use en_core_web_trf, which contains transformer models for Spacy 3.x:
pip install -U spacy
python -m spacy download en_core_web_trf
