Errors occurs when run RunModel.py about emnlp2017-bilstm-cnn-crf HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi,
Tensorflow sadly doesn't work with the character-based word embeddings (which are used for the pre-trained model).

Theano should work, but I think with the most recent version of theano there might be a problem? Which version of theano do you have? I developed the code for theano==0.9.0

Further I can recommend to try the docker version of this script:
https://github.com/UKPLab/emnlp2017-bilstm-cnn-crf/tree/master/docker

This will install all needed dependencies and you can run the code within the docker container. Issues with different versions of the deep learning frameworks will always be an issue, as these frameworks develop so rapidly. So often after 1/2 - 1 year, old code is no longer running. Here is docker a great solution to ensure that code is also runnable after a longer period of time, as you can exactly control your environment.

@nreimers Thank you very much for your solution, it perfectly works. I am using theano 0.9.0 now.

Great to hear, that it works now.

Sadly it is quite hard to keep code up-to-date with the most recent versions of the different deep learning frameworks, so sadly I don't know why it breaks with the latest version of theano.
