Conversational task deprecated?

It seems (from huggingface github repo) that the “conversational” task is deprecated now, I wonder why it has been used in this new course. Or is it going to be reintroduced?

Yes, this is true and pretty much makes the videos obsolete. To work with it at least in a similar way to the NLP video something like this will work:

pipe = pipeline(‘text2text-generation’, model=“facebook/blenderbot-400M-distill”)
response = pipe(“Tell me a bit about the endoplasmic reticulum”)
print(f"Bot: {response[0][‘generated_text’]}")

Bot: Well, it’s basically a way of teaching students how to read, write, and communicate.

(not a great answer lol)
