This software is a research prototype, solely developed for and published as part of the publication "FAME: Feature-Based Adversarial Meta-Embeddings for Robust Input Representations". It will neither be maintained nor monitored in any way.

• Install flair and transformers (Tested with flair=0.8, transformers=3.3.1, pytorch=1.6.0 and python=3.7.9)
• Download pre-trained word embeddings (using flair or your own).
• Prepare corpora in BIO format.
• Train a sequence-labeling or text-classification model as described in the example notebooks.

We do not ship the corpora used in the experiments from the paper.
