Issues using colab

Is here anyone using google colab to train this model? I have faced many problems such as: 1- The model was unable to create gold_conll files in colab, I have built them in my system locally and then uploaded it to my drive to solve this. 2- I am unable to train the model, it reports a problem related to pyhocon such as follows:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "train.py", line 18, in <module>
    config = util.initialize_from_env()
  File "/content/coref/util.py", line 37, in initialize_from_env
    config = pyhocon.ConfigFactory.parse_file("experiments.conf")[name]
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/pyhocon/__init__.py", line 32, in parse_file
    return ConfigFactory.parse_string(content, os.path.dirname(filename))
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/pyhocon/__init__.py", line 60, in parse_string
    return ConfigParser().parse(content, basedir)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/pyhocon/__init__.py", line 198, in parse
    ConfigParser._resolve_substitutions(config, substitutions)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/pyhocon/__init__.py", line 241, in _resolve_substitutions
    is_optional_resolved, resolved_value = ConfigParser._resolve_variable(config, substitution)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/pyhocon/__init__.py", line 223, in _resolve_variable
    col=col(substitution.loc, substitution.instring)))
pyhocon.exceptions.ConfigSubstitutionException: Cannot resolve variable ${data_dir} (line: 95, col: 16)

any help with this?

Thanks for the reply. Btw, I also figured out a way of doing this via Python script itself; using os.envion[""] setup function.

Hi @Atul-Anand-Jha I am sorry for my delay. I resolve the exporting issue by running the related commands and the export itself inside a bash script file like:

#!/bin/bash
export data_dir="conll-2012"
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python3 train.py train_spanbert_base
