DataCollator
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DataCollators are objects that will form a batch by using a list of elements as input. These lists of elements are of
the same type as the elements of :obj:`train_dataset` or :obj:`eval_dataset`.

A data collator will default to :func:`transformers.data.data_collator.default_data_collator` if no `tokenizer` has
been provided. This is a function that takes a list of samples from a Dataset as input and collates them into a batch
of a dict-like object. The default collator performs special handling of potential keys:

    - ``label``: handles a single value (int or float) per object
    - ``label_ids``: handles a list of values per object

This function does not perform any preprocessing. An example of use can be found in glue and ner.
