No Task Available while annotating data from ner.teach recipe

[abhinandansrivastava]

Hi,

I am trying to annotate with the help of ner.teach recipe but after around 100 annotations, “No Task Available” window comes up, even if there’s a plenty of data still left for annotation.

I am using this command:

prodigy ner.teach dataset_new_1 en_core_web_lg train/reviews_new_1.txt --label BEVERAGE --patterns beverage_patterns_1.jsonl

I am using prodigy == 1.5.1

Thanks

Hi! There can be several reasons for this – you might find my comment on this thread helpful. It's about textcat.teach, but the stream behaviour is similar in ner.teach, wihch is also an active learning-powered recipe:

"No tasks available" even though there's plenty of samples left

Thanks for the report! Just tested it with your example data and came across the same behaviour. There weren’t any errors either, so I think what might be happening here is the following: textcat.teach scores the stream and tries to only show you the most relevant tasks. Since there are only 100 examples, the “most relevant” selection seems to be only about 10-20%, which means the stream is exhausted after 10-20 examples. This is probably unideal, and we’ll think about the best way to handle t…

Thanks, the batch files didn’t have enough Names Entities, So “NO TASK AVAILABLE” was coming frequently.
