ner-food-ingredients (tutorial) still trying to get it to run

Hi @deewuok,

The reason the tutorial script doesn't work for you is that you're passing the sense2vec vectors as input file where raw comments data is expected.
s2v_reddit_2015_md.tar.gz (the INPUT_DATA in your snippet) contains the trained word vectors not the raw comments data.

It used to be possible to download the raw data here: https://files.pushshift.io/reddit/comments/. I believe that now you need to be a registered user of Reddit API to do that.
You could also skip the preprocessing step and continue the tutorial with the Prodigy ready data that is versioned in tutorial's github.
