+

+
+        Params:
+            **pretrained_model_name_or_path**: either:
+                - a string with the `shortcut name` of a pre-trained model 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 tensorflow index checkpoint `file` (e.g. `./tf_model/model.ckpt.index`).
+                    In this case, ``from_tf`` should be set to True and a configuration object should be
+                    provided as `config` argument. This loading option is slower than converting the TensorFlow
+                    checkpoint in a PyTorch model using the provided conversion scripts and loading
+                    the PyTorch model afterwards.
+            **model_args**: (`optional`) Sequence:
+                All remaining positional arguments will be passed to the underlying model's __init__ function
+            **config**: an optional configuration for the model to use instead of an automatically loaded configuration.
+                Configuration can be automatically loaded when:
+                - the model is a model provided by the library (loaded with a `shortcut name` of a pre-trained model), or
+                - the model was saved using the `save_pretrained(save_directory)` (loaded by supplying the save directory).
+            **state_dict**: an optional state dictionary for the model to use instead of a state dictionary loaded
+                from saved weights file.
+                This option can be used if you want to create a model from a pretrained configuration but load your own weights.
+                In this case though, you should check if using `save_pretrained(dir)` and `from_pretrained(save_directory)` is not
+                a simpler option.
+            **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.
+            **output_loading_info**: (`optional`) boolean:
+                Set to ``True`` to also return a dictionary containing missing keys, unexpected keys and error messages.
+            **kwargs**: (`optional`) dict:
+                Dictionary of key, values to update the configuration object after loading.
+                Can be used to override selected configuration parameters. E.g. ``output_attention=True``.
+
+               - If a configuration is provided with `config`, **kwargs will be directly passed
+                 to the underlying model's __init__ method.
+               - If a configuration is not provided, **kwargs will be first passed to the pretrained
+                 model configuration class loading function (`PretrainedConfig.from_pretrained`).
+                 Each key of **kwargs that corresponds to a configuration attribute
+                 will be used to override said attribute with the supplied **kwargs value.
+                 Remaining keys that do not correspond to any configuration attribute will
+                 be passed to the underlying model's __init__ function.
