Hello,
I’m also considering getting an EC2 instance to train a NER model. I’m using Spacy and BERT-multilingual-cased, and want to train it to recognize customized entities.
Previously I trained this on my laptop’s CPU but it is pretty long (24hours). I also tried to run it with my main computer on a GTX-1060 but it runs out of memory immediately (4GB of VRAM is admitedly not enough but I just wanted to give it a go).
Will the g4dn.xlarge be powerful enough for this task?
