Predicting Movie Reviews with BERT - IndexError: tuple index out of range

[loretoparisi]

I'm running the notebook "Predicting Movie Reviews with BERT". It works fine, but as soon as I predict one sentence I'm getting this error, I guess on the tf.estimator.Estimator in predictions = estimator.predict(predict_input_fn) . I'm not sure if the problem is the predict_input_fn.

def getPrediction(in_sentences):
  labels = ["Negative", "Positive"]
  input_examples = [run_classifier.InputExample(guid="", text_a = x, text_b = None, label = 0) for x in in_sentences] # here, "" is just a dummy label
  input_features = run_classifier.convert_examples_to_features(input_examples, label_list, MAX_SEQ_LENGTH, tokenizer)
  predict_input_fn = run_classifier.input_fn_builder(features=input_features, seq_length=MAX_SEQ_LENGTH, is_training=False, drop_remainder=False)
  return [(sentence, prediction['probabilities'], labels[prediction['labels']]) for sentence, prediction in zip(in_sentences, predictions)]

my input was

pred_sentences = [
  "I love to eat sea food"
]

You can try: predictions = estimator.predict(input_fn=predict_input_fn, yield_single_examples=False)

[loretoparisi]

@miaosenwang Thanks a lot, I will try it.

[mjspeck]

@loretoparisi did this resolve the problem? I'm having the same issue.

[loretoparisi]

@mjspeck let me have a look again!

[loretoparisi]

@mjspeck @miaosenwang yes it works now! Here is the full working code with the new function for single prediction https://github.com/loretoparisi/bert-movie-reviews-sentiment-classifier

[mjspeck]

@loretoparisi thank you!
