Environment Modules for NLP

• nlp: module load nlp will provide a Python environment with spacy, pytorch, torchtext, nltk, sentencepiece, transformers, sentence-transformers, bertopic, RAPIDSai, gensim, scikit-learn, and more.

• nemo: module load nemo will provide a singularity container environment with Python and Nvidia NeMo. NeMo has NLP task training, plus speech-to-text and text-to-speech models.

• pytorch: Note, use module spider pytorch to list the version we have available. Beyond stock pytorch versions, we have the Nvidia pytorch singularity container with the Apex optimizers required for Megatron-LM. Use module load ngc-pytorch to access this container, and you can run Megatron from source code.

• spark-nlp: See our Spark help doc to start a Spark cluster. Spark-nlp Python module is available in tensorflow/2.4.1.
