NotFittedError: BM25Vectorizer - Vocabulary wasn't fitted.

I 've got an issue when predicting adding sample code and error below

cdqa_pipeline = QAPipeline(reader='bert_models/bert_qa.joblib') cdqa_pipeline.fit_reader('bert_models/SQuAD_1.1/train-v1.1.json') cdqa_pipeline = QAPipeline(reader='bert_out.joblib') cdqa_pipeline.predict(query="Who is chaplin?")

I experience the same problem when I load my new dataset. Is this fix?

You have to fit the pipeline retriever to the dataframe with the documents before calling the predict() function:

cdqa_pipeline.fit_retriever(df=df)

I had a similar problem because I thought cdqa_pipeline.dump_reader() would dump the trained retriever too.

File A

from cdqa.pipeline import QAPipeline

cdqa_pipeline = QAPipeline(reader='./models/distilbert_qa.joblib')
cdqa_pipeline.fit_retriever(df=df)

cdqa_pipeline.dump_reader('./models/distilbert_qa_fine_tuned.joblib')

File B

from cdqa.pipeline import QAPipeline

cdqa_pipeline = QAPipeline(reader='./models/distilbert_qa_fine_tuned.joblib')
cdqa_pipeline.fit_retriever(df=df)

# fix:
# cdqa_pipeline = QAPipeline(reader='./models/distilbert_qa.joblib')
# cdqa_pipeline = cdqa_pipeline.fit_retriever(df=df)

while True:
    q = input('Question: ')
    answer = cdqa_pipeline.predict(query=q)
    print(answer)
