I am trying to use the ConveRTFeaturizer in my pipeline, but apparently it needs a model to run. Where can I find that?
I’m using Colab and have successfully run pip3 install rasa[convert]
pipeline:
- name: ConveRTFeaturizer
model_url: None
- name: DIETClassifier
epochs: 100
@bferster Hello, Bill I guess you need to see this link: https://github.com/PolyAI-LDN/polyai-models#convert | RasaHQ/rasa 2.0.3 on GitHub. I guess it’s not available now.
Since the public URL of the ConveRT model was taken offline recently, it is now mandatory to set the parameter model_url to a community/self-hosted URL or path to a local directory containing model files.
Ref link: Components
@bferster Please try this link if it work.
