Python3.9 is incompatible with Tensorflow 2.3 and "ValueError" is raised in GeneNER_SpeAss_run.py using Python 3.9

[Muszeb]

After encountering the same problems discussed in issue #1, I managed to install all the necessary dependencies under Python 3.9, however only tensorflow>=2.5 is currently available for Python 3.9. This causes the very same error described here when running GeneNER_SpeAss_run.py - irrespective of using Bioformer or PubMedBert.
Using Python 3.8 and setting protobuf>=3.19.0,<=3.20.x in requirements.txt allows to install tensorflow==2.3.0 and fixes the problem.
Please fix the bug raised when using Python 3.9 or change the README file with accurate installation instructions.

Hi, GNorm2 somehow has a difficultly within Python 3.9. we prepared the requirments.txt for python 3.8 and 3.10. Could you please reinstall the appropriate lib? Let me know if any further issue?

requirements-py38.txt
requirements-py310.txt

Thanks. Wei

I am new to GNorm2, trying to install for testing, and I'm having the same issues. The instructions in the README won't work as is, and had to debug. It would be nice if these issues and workarounds are mentioned in the README.
