In order to use the evaluation metrics from [Hugging Face – The AI community building the future.](https://huggingface.co/metrics), for example,

> from datasets import load\_metric
> 
> > metric = load\_metric(“accuracy”)

does the dataset must be from the huggingface or may I use these metrics with transformer model based on my data?

thanks
