Automatically provision models when accessing URL first time

[jcklie]

It would be cool to add a function to ariadne so that you can just do something like this:

http://localhost:5000/ariadne/flair/sequencetagger/<modelname>

and then it just fetches the right model and that's it

That would work quite nicely with the huggingface transformers library.

modelname = 'bert-base-cased'
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained(modelname)

We already use adapter for your transformer needs. I am currently working on v2 of this project, so I do not want to implement this and then archive the project.

[david-waterworth]

No problem, what's adapter? Is that something I can use now to implement external recommenders or is it a work in progress?

[jcklie]

Adapters are a way to efficiently finetune transformers. You do not fine tune the whole thing, but insert a small layer and finetune that.
