Suggestion: Use More Up-to-date Version of AllenNLP?

[VanillaCappuccino]

Hello,

I've tried running the tutorials and bumped into a wall, though this is not as major an issue as I was worried about.

allennlp.data.tokenizers.word_splitter is only used in MILU, but for those on more up-to-date versions of AllenNLP (like myself, who just pip installed it to run the tutorial notebook) will be stopped here as WordSplitter appears to have been replaced by a more general tokeniser after the 1.0.0 release: allenai/allennlp#3345.

A solution is to obviously only use the relevant libraries (which I could have avoided from the get-go, as I will only be playing around with generation libraries). I appreciate that you might have your very own reasons for using an older version, but updating this and any other similar use cases (or at least a disclaimer) would be a great time-saver for beginner-level people like myself who are just looking to get started with this.

Thanks for the suggestion! The code of MILU is a little bit old and relies heavily on allennlp==0.9, so it will need some effort to update the allennlp. Do you have the interest to contribute?
