allenai/allennlp v1.0.0rc5

on GitHub

Fixed

• Fix bug where PretrainedTransformerTokenizer crashed with some transformers (#4267)
• Make cached_path work offline.
• Tons of docstring inconsistencies resolved.
• Nightly builds no longer run on forks.
• Distributed training now automatically figures out which worker should see which instances
• A race condition bug in distributed training caused from saving the vocab to file from the master process while other processing might be reading those files.
• Unused dependencies in setup.py removed

Added

• Additional CI checks to ensure docstrings are consistently formatted.
• Ability to train on CPU with multiple processes by setting cuda_devices to a list of negative integers in your training config. For example: "distributed": {"cuda_devices": [-1, -1]}. This is mainly to make it easier to test and debug distributed training code.
• Documentation for when parameters don't need config file entries

Changed

• The allennlp test-install command now just ensures the core submodules can
  be imported successfully, and prints out some other useful information such as the version, PyTorch version, and the number of GPU devices available.
• All of the tests moved from allennlp/tests to tests at the root level, and
  allennlp/tests/fixtures moved to test_fixtures at the root level. The PyPI source and wheel distributions will no longer include tests and fixtures.
