Hi !

I try to download and extract ontonotes data using get_and_process_all_data.sh, and it comes out with the error as :

ImportError: cannot import name 'Ontonotes' from 'allennlp.data.dataset_readers.dataset_utils'

I have checked allennlp.data.dataset_readers.dataset_utils, indeed there is no Ontonotes. And I look back to allennlp to search Ontonotes, the only result is shown here: https://github.com/allenai/allennlp/blob/c4c532d25e012dbe6ab1ac14bca75e53e0acc621/scripts/compile_coref_data.sh

without any classes named as Ontonotes.

Here is my version:
allennlp==1.1.0rc2.dev20200724
allennlp-models==1.1.0rc2.dev20200724

Or should I follow the instruction in README.md to use extract_ontonotes_all.py to process the ontonotes datasets?

Best regards

Hrm—I don't know that part of the code well. @HaokunLiu @zphang, any guess?

This is pretty late, but I think this is because of a version mismatch. enviornment.yml specifies the allennlp version to be 0.8.4. I think if you create a jiant environment using conda create -f environment.yml it would pull down the proper version of AllenNLP and things would work.
