Simpletransformers: 'text_b'...for sequence pairs models; why not??

[caprone]

HI and thanks for Great package ;)

Why when You initialize 'train_examples' , list of InputExample' s istances in ClassificationModel class, You don't allow to pass additional feature as second text, like a 'text_b' in df_train, for example...? to process sequences pair model...?

It's because I only had single sentence tasks in mind when I first published the library. Most of the code to support sentence pair tasks should already be in place though, so I'll see what I can do about testing this and adding it quickly.

I am new to SimpleTransformers but I modified the part where text_b is considered as:

train_examples = [InputExample(i, text, text2, label) for i, (text, text2, label) in enumerate(zip(train_df.iloc[:, 0], train_df.iloc[:, 1], train_df.iloc[:, 2]))]

Is it ok to do that? I was getting value error before this edit, it seems that solved it. Of course, I do not know if it leads to more problems or not.

There's a chance it might work. If your final results are good, then it's probably working. Please let me know if it is!

Sentence pair tasks are now supported.
