Custom TextClassifier model for sequences

An LSTM might work there. You might find the model defined here interesting: https://github.com/explosion/thinc/blob/master/examples/imdb_cnn.py

Awesome, I'll poke at it for a while and then try to apply it to my existing dataset.

I added a comment showing where to insert the CNN block. You can import the BiLSTM with from thinc.t2t import BiLSTM. You should use the BiLSTM implementation in thinc with care though — it’s not very well tested, so I’m not sure it’s fully correct. It’s also probably fairly inefficient compared to other libraries, although I’m not sure.

I appreciate the pointers, thanks!
