Information

• The official example scripts
• My own modified scripts

Tasks

• An officially supported task in the examples folder (such as GLUE/SQuAD, ...)
• My own task or dataset (give details below)

Reproduction

Just pass a resume_from_checkpoint to TrainingArguments.

Expected behavior

I have read the code and I see resume_from_checkpoint is used for Trainer.train(resume_from_checkpoint=...), and this setting in TrainingArguments is not used. Any reasons?

@SingL3 In the docs for TrainingArguments, it notes that resume_from_checkpoint is intended to be used in your own training/evaluation scripts. In the original PR, this was discussed and decided upon in order to remove ambiguity.

I see but it is somehow confusing. Closing this issue.
