A command-line interface is provided to convert a TensorFlow checkpoint in a PyTorch dump of the ``BertForPreTraining`` class (for BERT) or NumPy checkpoint in a PyTorch dump of the ``OpenAIGPTModel`` class (for OpenAI GPT).
A command-line interface is provided to convert original Bert/GPT/GPT-2/Transformer-XL/XLNet/XLM checkpoints in models than be loaded using the ``from_pretrained`` methods of the library.

We provide a base class, ``PretrainedConfig``, which can load a pretrained instance either from a local file or directory or from a pretrained model configuration provided by the library (downloaded from HuggingFace AWS S3 repository).
Breaking change: Models are now set in evaluation mode by default when instantiated with the `from_pretrained()` method.
To train them don't forget to set them back in training mode (`model.train()`) to activate the dropout modules.
Breaking change in the `from_pretrained()`method:
Also, while not a breaking change, the serialization methods have been standardized and you probably should switch to the new method `save_pretrained(save_directory)` if you were using any other seralization method before.
1. Models are now set in evaluation mode by default when instantiated with the `from_pretrained()` method. To train them don't forget to set them back in training mode (`model.train()`) to activate the dropout modules.
2. The additional `*inputs` and `**kwargs` arguments supplied to the `from_pretrained()` method used to be directly passed to the underlying model's class `__init__()` method. They are now used to update the model configuration attribute first which can break derived model classes build based on the previous `BertForSequenceClassification` examples. More precisely, the positional arguments `*inputs` provided to `from_pretrained()` are directly forwarded the model `__init__()` method while the keyword arguments `**kwargs` (i) which match configuration class attributes are used to update said attributes (ii) which don't match any configuration class attributes are forwarded to the model `__init__()` method.

PyTorch-Transformers is an opinionated library built for NLP researchers seeking to use/study/extend large-scale transformers models.
The library was designed with two strong goals in mind:
- be as easy and fast to use as possible:
- we strongly limited the number of abstractions to learn, in fact there are almost no abstractions, just three standard classes for each model: configuration, models and tokenizer,
- each pretrained model configuration, weights and vocabulary can be downloaded, cached and loaded in the related class in a simple way by using a common `from_pretrained()` instantiation method.
- this library is NOT a modular toolbox of building blocks for neural nets, to extend/build-upon the library, just use your regular Python/PyTorch modules and inherit from the base classes of the library to reuse functionalities like model loading/saving.
- provide state-of-the-art models with performances as close as possible to the original models:
- we provide at least one example for each model which reproduces a result provided by the official authors of said model,
- the code is usually as close to the original code base as possible which means some PyTorch code may be not as *pytorchic* as it could be as a result of being converted TensorFlow code.
A few other goals:
- expose the models internals as consistently as possible:
- we give access, using a single API to the full hidden-states and attention weights,
- tokenizer and base model's API are standardized to easily switch between models.
- incorporate a subjective selection of promising tools for fine-tuning/investiguating these models:
- a simple/consistent way to add new tokens to the vocabulary and embeddings for fine-tuning,
- simple ways to mask and prune transformer heads.
## Main concepts
The library is build around three type of classes for each models:
-**model classes** which are PyTorch models (`torch.nn.Modules`) of the 6 models architectures currently provided in the library, e.g. `BertModel`
-**configuration classes** which store all the parameters required to build a model, e.g. `BertConfig`
-**tokenizer classes** which store the vocabulary for each model and provide methods for encoding strings in list of token embeddings indices to be fed to a model, e.g. `BertTokenizer`
All these classes can be instantiated from pretrained instances and saved locally using two methods:
-`from_pretrained()` let you instantiate a model/configuration/tokenizer from a pretrained version either provided by the library itself (currently 27 models are provided as listed [here](https://huggingface.co/pytorch-transformers/pretrained_models.html)) or stored locally (or on a server) by the user,
-`save_pretrained()` let you save a model/configuration/tokenizer locally so that it can be reloaded using `from_pretrained()`.
Let's go through a few simple quick-start examples to see how we can instantiate and use these classes.

r""" Instantiate a PretrainedConfig from a pre-trained model configuration.
Params:
Parameters:
**pretrained_model_name_or_path**: either:
- a string with the `shortcut name` of a pre-trained model configuration to load from cache
or download and cache if not already stored in cache (e.g. 'bert-base-uncased').
- a path to a `directory` containing a configuration file saved
using the `save_pretrained(save_directory)` method.
- a path or url to a saved configuration `file`.
- a string with the `shortcut name` of a pre-trained model configuration to load from cache or download, e.g.: ``bert-base-uncased``.
- a path to a `directory` containing a configuration file saved using the `save_pretrained(save_directory)` method, e.g.: ``./my_model_directory/``.
- a path or url to a saved configuration JSON `file`, e.g.: ``./my_model_directory/configuration.json``.
**cache_dir**: (`optional`) string:
Path to a directory in which a downloaded pre-trained model
configuration should be cached if the standard cache should not be used.
**return_unused_kwargs**: (`optional`) bool:
- If False, then this function returns just the final configuration object.
- If True, then this functions returns a tuple `(config, unused_kwargs)` where `unused_kwargs`
is a dictionary consisting of the key/value pairs whose keys are not configuration attributes:
ie the part of kwargs which has not been used to update `config` and is otherwise ignored.
- If True, then this functions returns a tuple `(config, unused_kwargs)` where `unused_kwargs` is a dictionary consisting of the key/value pairs whose keys are not configuration attributes: ie the part of kwargs which has not been used to update `config` and is otherwise ignored.
**kwargs**: (`optional`) dict:
Dictionary of key/value pairs with which to update the configuration object after loading.
- The values in kwargs of any keys which are configuration attributes will be used
to override the loaded values.
- Behavior concerning key/value pairs whose keys are *not* configuration attributes is controlled
