I have been looking through the spacy documentation on training/fine-tuning spacy models or pipelines, however, after walking through the following guide https://spacy.io/usage/training I found that it all comes down to creating and configuring a single file config.cfg. However, I didn't find a python guide to follow. Hence, I would like to know if this is the new norm, and if it is encouraged to follow this route rather than coding in python. Secondly, if there is a true python guide, I would love to get some references.
Thank in advance!
Yes, in spaCy v3 it is recommended you use the config file to control training, rather than writing Python code. Besides the main docs, there is an official walkthrough of the process here.
