you should use this fork: https://github.com/RasaHQ/bert

Thanks a lot ! It runs correctly now (even if it takes time on CPUs, I will try on GPUs).

But I couldn’t install the bert package from this branch neatly. How should I install it without having to take the bert directory from the branch and putting it directly in my working directory ? I tried docker-compose exec medibot pip install git+https://github.com/RasaHQ/bert, and pip tells me Successfully built bert. But then rerunning the training shows me : ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bert'.
