Biaffiane parser not works with toc2vec backend

[zsozso21]

I applied the experimental Biaffine parser based on this example and it works well when I use the transformer based architecture, but I got the following error when I tried to apply it with a toc2vec model by using cpu:

Thanks for the report!

The first error occurs because CPUs don't support mixed-precision. You could set both instances of

mixed_precision = true

to

mixed_precision = false

in the configuration. Admittedly, this is not very convenient, I'll look into disabling mixed-precision altogether when running on CPU, that would probably be nicer than the current assertion.

I have to look into the second error in more detail, though it seems that the trace is not completely pasted?

Fair warning ahead: the accuracy of the biaffine parser is not great yet with a convolutional tok2vec layer. I am currently also working on a set of changes that also improve accuracy when training a transformer model quite a bit.

Closing as the first issue was addressed with https://github.com/explosion/thinc/pull/624. If you still run into issues with the second error, feel free to open a new issue with the full stack trace!
