Can't find recipe

1

Hi,
I'm trying to test prodigy and I faced this error when typing the command !prodigy rel.manual, ner_news_headlines, blank:en,./news_headlines.jsonl, --label PERSON:

✘ Can't find recipe or command 'rel.manual,'.

I'm with jupyter, python3.8.5, prodigy 1.11.14, macOS-10
Could you tell me how to solve? I just wanted to test how it worked and eventually include my own files (txt or csv).

thanks

hi @Clausia!

Thanks for your question and welcome to the Prodigy community :wave:

It looks like you simply added commas (,) after each argument that aren't needed. You also added a colon : at the end too.

You should try:

!prodigy rel.manual ner_news_headlines blank:en ./news_headlines.jsonl --label PERSON

Make sure you have news_headlines.jsonl in whatever local folder you're running that command. If you don't know, you can run ls command to see what files are in your local folder.

That's great. You may have already seen them, but we have docs on input format types.

The standard data input format for .txt files is simply each document separated by a new line:

This is a sentence.
This is another sentence.

Alternatively, for .csv, you can have:

Text,Label,Meta
This is a sentence.,POSITIVE,0
This is another sentence.,NEGATIVE,0.1

But to save you a lot of headaches in the future, I would strongly recommend trying to learn a little of .jsonl manipulation. .jsonl is a very common file type not just for Prodigy but for a lot of data, especially large data.

One of the easiest ways is to use pandas like this:

Hope this helps!
