class flair.embeddings.legacy.CharLMEmbeddings(model, detach=True, use_cache=False, cache_directory=None)View on GitHub

Bases: TokenEmbeddings

Contextual string embeddings of words, as proposed in Akbik et al., 2018.

__init__(model, detach=True, use_cache=False, cache_directory=None)View on GitHub

Initializes contextual string embeddings using a character-level language model.

Parameters:

• model (str) – model string, one of ‘news-forward’, ‘news-backward’, ‘news-forward-fast’, ‘news-backward-fast’, ‘mix-forward’, ‘mix-backward’, ‘german-forward’, ‘german-backward’, ‘polish-backward’, ‘polish-forward’ depending on which character language model is desired.

• detach (bool) – if set to False, the gradient will propagate into the language model. this dramatically slows down training and often leads to worse results, so not recommended.

• use_cache (bool) – if set to False, will not write embeddings to file for later retrieval. this saves disk space but will not allow re-use of once computed embeddings that do not fit into memory

• cache_directory (Optional[Path]) – if cache_directory is not set, the cache will be written to ~/.flair/embeddings. otherwise the cache is written to the provided directory.

Deprecated since version 0.4: Use ‘FlairEmbeddings’ instead.

training

train(mode=True)View on GitHub

Set the module in training mode.

This has an effect only on certain modules. See the documentation of particular modules for details of their behaviors in training/evaluation mode, i.e., whether they are affected, e.g. Dropout, BatchNorm, etc.

Parameters:

mode (bool) – whether to set training mode (True) or evaluation mode (False). Default: True.

Returns:

self

Return type:

Module

property embedding_length: int

Returns the length of the embedding vector.
