Google's BERT for NLP tasks

KNIME Extensions
1

Has anyone tried using Google’s BERT for NLP to Knime? (e.g. for Question&Answer like SQuAD or custom Named Entities, and in addition to StanfordNLP)

To me it would be interesting to see learners and predictors to come to Knime, but I’m lacking the time to create myself. If anyone is working/has worked on this, please share.

Hey @Avit,

from our side nothing has been done, but it seems pretty interesting. I will evaluate what is possible and what is not.

Cheers,

Julian

Same here, now days Google’s BERT model is widely used in NLP tasks and it would be really great if this functionality would be integrated in KNIME allowing us to improve NLP tasks. Please KNIME team have a look in this area if possible. Thank you

We released already the nodes for BERT: https://hub.knime.com/redfield/extensions/se.redfield.bert.feature/latest

In a few days we will also release an upgrade to enable integration to huggingface.

I hope you will enjoy!
