"unexpected EOF. The file might be corrupted" when loading model about flair

[alanakbik]

Hi, pwichmann, thanks for your interest!

One possibility is that something happened during the first download of the model (abort, corruption, not enough disc space etc.), see: https://discuss.pytorch.org/t/loading-pretrained-model-error/10315

Flair models are stored at ~/.flair/models/ - could you try deleting this folder and calling the tagger again? This should trigger a new download.

UPDATE:
It was indeed a memory error (insufficient disc space) where a previous model download was incomplete and was not corrected in subsequent FLAIR uses.

I could correct the error following the advice described above. Note that the link does not point to where flair is installed (e.g. in your virtual env). It is indeed '''~/.flair'''.

Many thanks, @alanakbik !
Amazingly fast response and merci for the great tool.

Hi,

i have most probably the same issue with one of the LM (XLNetEmbeddings()).

I looked into '''~/.flair''' there is a folder called "embeddings" and inside i see only:
en-fasttext-news-300d-1M glove.gensim.vectors.npy
en-fasttext-news-300d-1M.vectors.npy news-backward-0.4.1.pt
glove.gensim news-forward-0.4.1.pt

Is there any other place where flair stores the downloaded LMs? I have downloaded and used successfully other i.e. RoBERTaEmbeddings(), OpenAIGPT2Embeddings() so they should be somewhere there but i can't find them.

I'd appreciate some help!
