AllenNLP the Hard Way
This series is my AllenNLP tutorial that goes from installation through building a state-of-the-art (or nearly) named entity recognizer. By the end we will have covered dataset readers, Hierarchical LSTMs and BERT, predictors, debugging, and experimental repeatability.
All the code for the tutorial can be found in the associated Github repository.
