It appears from initial reading that it must be possible to support pure NLP tasks with this, but there weren't examples for these in the documentation, so I'm not sure. Does it support NLP models?

Ex: Could I have a store of articles and run NLP tasks against it?

Great question! Yes, EVA supports NLP pipelines thanks to our recent integration of Hugging Face pipelines last month. Here is an illustrative text classification application:

  -- Text classification application in EVA
  CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS MyCSV (id INTEGER UNIQUE, comment TEXT(30));

  LOAD CSV 'csv_file_path' INTO MyCSV;

  CREATE UDF HFTextClassifier
  TYPE HuggingFace
  'task' 'text-classification';

  SELECT HFTextClassifier(comment) FROM MyCSV;

EVA supports many other NLP pipelines, including summarization and text2text generation.

[2] is an illustrative notebook that presents an HF-based object segmentation pipeline (not NLP-based though). We would love to jointly explore how to best support your NLP pipeline. Please consider opening an issue with more details on your use case.
