Project labels file is invalid when importing custom NER project to Language Studio

Question

Hi,

I labeled NER data with the labeling tool in Azure Machine Learning studio. To train a custom NER model with Language Studio I reformatted this labeled data to the requested file format as explained on this page: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/cognitive-services/language-service/custom-named-entity-recognition/concepts/data-formats. Afterwards I uploaded the text files together with the labels file to a separate container on Azure blob storage, which is connected to my Language resource. However, when I try to create a project I get the following error:

InvalidArgument: The project file version `2023-02-14` is invalid. Please check the supported versions and their formats in the service documentation at http://aka.ms/language-docs.

It is unclear to me what is wrong as the format is identical to the one explained on the reference page. Any ideas on what might go wrong?

Best regards

S.

slo_dlw The project file version is actually the API version that should be used for any language project. In this case for custom NER the available versions are the following:

Please see this page for the supported versions for all features. In your case the current data was used so the API detected the same as an invalid version. I hope this helps!!
