Config file needs to be re-written to better handle multiple models

[JohnGiorgi]

Currently, the config.ini file, which contains settings for using Saber, is highly coupled to the Keras BiLSTM-CRF model. This needs to be fixed.

One solution would be to maintain a different config file for each of the model's Saber implements. A second solution would be to have model specific subsections in the config file, e.g.

[general]
# settings that are not tied to the specific model used

[bilstm-crf-ner]
# some model specific settings here

[bert-ner]
# some model specific settings here

not clear which is a better solution. The first one may end up generating a lot of config files. The second a single, but very long config file.

Look here for inspiration:

• AllenNLP config files
• PyTorch project template
• BertConfig
