### Run the examples
Examples are included in the repository but are not shipped with the library.
Therefore, in order to run the latest versions of the examples you also need to install from source. To do so, create a new virtual environment and follow these steps:
A series of tests are included for the library and the example scripts. Library tests can be found in the [tests folder](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/tree/master/transformers/tests) and examples tests in the [examples folder](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/tree/master/examples).
These tests can be run using `pytest` (install pytest if needed with `pip install pytest`).
These tests can be run using `unittest` or `pytest` (install pytest if needed with `pip install pytest`).
Depending on which framework is installed (TensorFlow 2.0 and/or PyTorch), the irrelevant tests will be skipped. Ensure that both frameworks are installed if you want to execute all tests.
You can run the tests from the root of the cloned repository with the commands:
By default, slow tests are skipped. Set the `RUN_SLOW` environment variable to `yes` to run them.

XNLI
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
`The Cross-Lingual NLI Corpus (XNLI) <https://www.nyu.edu/projects/bowman/xnli/>`__ is a benchmark that evaluates
the quality of cross-lingual text representations.
XNLI is crowd-sourced dataset based on `MultiNLI <http://www.nyu.edu/projects/bowman/multinli/>`: pairs of text are labeled with textual entailment
annotations for 15 different languages (including both high-ressource language such as English and low-ressource languages such as Swahili).
`The Stanford Question Answering Dataset (SQuAD) <https://rajpurkar.github.io/SQuAD-explorer//>`__ is a benchmark that evaluates
the performance of models on question answering. Two versions are available, v1.1 and v2.0. The first version (v1.1) was released together with the paper
`SQuAD: 100,000+ Questions for Machine Comprehension of Text <https://arxiv.org/abs/1606.05250>`__. The second version (v2.0) was released alongside

### Model2Model example
Encoder-decoder architectures require two tokenized inputs: one for the encoder and the other one for the decoder. Let's assume that we want to use `Model2Model` for generative question answering, and start by tokenizing the question and answer that will be fed to the model.
```python
importtorch
fromtransformersimportBertTokenizer,Model2Model
# OPTIONAL: if you want to have more information on what's happening under the hood, activate the logger as follows
# See the models docstrings for the detail of all the outputs
# In our case, the first element is the value of the LM loss
lm_loss=outputs[0]
```
This loss can be used to fine-tune `Model2Model` on the question answering task. Assuming that we fine-tuned the model, let us now see how to generate an answer:
```python
# Let's re-use the previous question
question="Who was Jim Henson?"
encoded_question=tokenizer.encode(question)
question_tensor=torch.tensor([encoded_question])
# This time we try to generate the answer, so we start with an empty sequence

-`distilgpt2`: DistilGPT2 English language model pretrained with the supervision of `gpt2` (the smallest version of GPT2) on [OpenWebTextCorpus](https://skylion007.github.io/OpenWebTextCorpus/), a reproduction of OpenAI's WebText dataset. The model has 6 layers, 768 dimension and 12 heads, totalizing 82M parameters (compared to 124M parameters for GPT2). On average, DistilGPT2 is two times faster than GPT2.
-`distilroberta-base`: DistilRoBERTa English language model pretrained with the supervision of `roberta-base` solely on [OpenWebTextCorpus](https://skylion007.github.io/OpenWebTextCorpus/), a reproduction of OpenAI's WebText dataset (it is ~4 times less training data than the teacher RoBERTa). The model has 6 layers, 768 dimension and 12 heads, totalizing 82M parameters (compared to 125M parameters for RoBERTa-base). On average DistilRoBERTa is twice as fast as Roberta-base.

-`distilbert-base-multilingual-cased`: DistilmBERT multilingual model pretrained with the supervision of `bert-base-multilingual-cased` on the concatenation of Wikipedia in 104 different languages. The model supports the 104 languages listed [here](https://github.com/google-research/bert/blob/master/multilingual.md#list-of-languages). The model has 6 layers, 768 dimension and 12 heads, totalizing 134M parameters (compared to 177M parameters for mBERT-base). On average DistilmBERT is twice as fast as mBERT-base.
Using DistilBERT is very similar to using BERT. DistilBERT share the same tokenizer as BERT's `bert-base-uncased` even though we provide a link to this tokenizer under the `DistilBertTokenizer` name to have a consistent naming between the library models.

Similarly, using the other Distil* models simply consists in calling the base classes with a different pretrained checkpoint:
