ValueError: [E1041] Expected a string, Doc, or bytes as input, but got: <class 'pandas.core.-CodePudding

import pandas
df['findings'] = df['findings'].astype(str)
#df['findings'] = df['findings'].astype('string')
df["new_column"] = GPT2_model(df['findings'], min_length=60)

After running this I get the following error, even after converting my dataframe to string.

CodePudding user response：

Your method/model GPT2_model doesn't take a Pandas Series object. That's what the error is complaining about. You can instead apply the method to your findings column.

df['new_column'] = df['findings'].apply(GPT2_model, min_length=60)
