NotImplementedError raised when predicting on batches

[karths8]

I want to predict on single sentences using the multinlp pretrained model on SRL using this command

allennlp predict model.tar.gz ner-examples.jsonl --include-package brat_multitask --cuda-device 0 --predictor brat --weights-file best.th --output-file out.json

Unfortunately, I receive a NotImplementedError raised as follows:

Traceback (most recent call last):

NotImplementedError

Any fix for this? (allennlp 0.8.4)
