Huggingface fills the need for task based prediction when you have a GPU. With model distillation, you can make models that annotate hundreds of sentences per second on a single CPU with a library like Huggingface Transformers. For instance, one of my distilled Dutch multi-task syntax models (UD POS, language-specific POS, lemmatization, morphology, dependency parsing) annotates 316 sentences per second with 4 thread…

Interesting. Did you start from a Distilled base model (like DistilRoBerta), or did you distill your fine-tuned model?

Sorry for the late reply. I distilled from my own finetuned XLM-RoBERTa model.

Currently https://github.com/nilp0inter/experta but https://github.com/noxdafox/clipspy seems nice, I just shied away from using it due to uneasiness about FFI and debugging, even though the original CLIPS is still awesome and has a very interesting manual. There's also https://github.com/jruizgit/rules but haven't tried it yet.

Interesting. I guess your driving factor was that you can use those directly from Python. How's the performance (with many many rules)?

Yes exactly, I want to be able to do rich auditing of the predictions. Not sure about performance yet, still prototyping!
