Hello,  
trying to figure out everything needed when I train a custom model with trainer.

1. As far as I understand - output should be tuple with loss value first.
2. the function provided to compute\_metrics takes EvalPrediction. How is the value passed to my compute metrics function created? How does trainer know how to build the input to this compute\_metrics function

Thanks!
