How to use

documentAssembler = DocumentAssembler() \
    .setInputCol("text") \
    .setOutputCol("document")

tokenizer = Tokenizer() \
    .setInputCols("document") \
    .setOutputCol("token")
  
embeddings = BertEmbeddings.pretrained("bert_embeddings_custom_legalbert","en") \
    .setInputCols(["document", "token"]) \
    .setOutputCol("embeddings")
    
pipeline = Pipeline(stages=[documentAssembler, tokenizer, embeddings])

data = spark.createDataFrame([["I love Spark NLP"]]).toDF("text")

result = pipeline.fit(data).transform(data)
import nlu
nlu.load("en.embed.legalbert.legal.custom.by_zlucia").predict("""I love Spark NLP""")
