allennlp.common.checks.ConfigurationError: key "dataset" is required at location "data_loader."

[RavenKiller]

Hello, I'm trying to run the training procedure allennlp build-vocab ... and allennlp train ..., but got an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/ubuntu/miniconda3/envs/thor/lib/python3.8/site-packages/allennlp/common/params.py", line 238, in pop
    value = self.params.pop(key)
KeyError: 'dataset'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

This error occurs at both build-vocab and train phase. I'm not familiar with allennlp. If I add "dataset": "alfred" into the "data_loader" field, a more confusing error occurs:

Is there any solution for this error?

Hi, fortunately you have the same question before. I encountered the same problem when running the code, did you find any solution?

Not yet... I guess the version of allennlp and the config file in this repository are two possible reasons. But the error still occurs even if I change the allennlp version. I'm not interested in ALFRED now, so I didn't try any further.

Thanks a lot! Wish you success in further research.

Hello @RavenKiller and @siifish, thanks for your interest in EmBERT. I'm sorry that you had these issues and I'm keen to help you out.

One big and important disclaimer: unfortunately, AllenNLP has been deprecated and won't be updated anymore. Hence, this makes things harder when it comes to reproducibility.

While we investigate the source of the issue, would you mind sharing with us the allennlp version that you're using?
