AraBERT-Trainer-HyperParameterOpt-NER database error

[Sharefah-Alghamdi]

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to run the code for fine-tuning of Arabert for NER code here:

https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1M1yH8rqbxowlSd5R-jr8eBVfGbIyp1zC?usp=sharing

but I need to understand what is the needed database for storage in this part:

best_run = trainer.hyperparameter_search(direction="maximize",
hp_space=my_hp_space,
compute_objective=my_objective,
n_trials=None,
pruner=optuna.pruners.NopPruner(),
sampler=optuna.samplers.GridSampler(search_space),
study_name="NER-arabert-large-v02",
storage="sqlite:////content/drive/MyDrive/optuna_runs/{}.db".format(name),
load_if_exists=False
)

Thank you

This is used for hyper-parameter tunning using optuna, the sql db is used to store the metrics and hyperparams.

If you are not doing hyper-parameter tuning you can just ignore it
