### Expected behavior

Training and eval proceed smoothly. I think that Trainer is trying to save the checkpoint and failing then. I'd like to complete training/eval and be able to load from a non-corrupt checkpoint. 
I also ran this with `no_cuda=True` and received the same error. <|||||>Your code example doesn't define multiple objects, so I can't really tell what's wrong. Please give us a minimal reproducer we can execute.<|||||>Sorry about that--I've put everything into this repo if that is easier: https://github.com/galenballew/bert-multiclass
I'll also repeat it here too:

Trainer is attempting to log a value of "EvaluationModule(name: "accuracy", module_type: "metric", features: {'predictions': Value(dtype='int32', id=None), 'references': Value(dtype='int32', id=None)}, usage: """
Args:
    predictions (`list` of `int`): Predicted labels.
    references (`list` of `int`): Ground truth labels.
    normalize (`boolean`): If set to False, returns the number of correctly classified samples. Otherwise, returns the fraction of correctly classified samples. Defaults to True.
    sample_weight (`list` of `float`): Sample weights Defaults to None.

Returns:
    accuracy (`float` or `int`): Accuracy score. Minimum possible value is 0. Maximum possible value is 1.0, or the number of examples input, if `normalize` is set to `True`.. A higher score means higher accuracy.

Examples:

    Example 1-A simple example
        >>> accuracy_metric = evaluate.load("accuracy")
        >>> results = accuracy_metric.compute(references=[0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2], predictions=[0, 1, 1, 2, 1, 0])

Trainer is attempting to log a value of "EvaluationModule(name: "precision", module_type: "metric", features: {'predictions': Value(dtype='int32', id=None), 'references': Value(dtype='int32', id=None)}, usage: """
Args:
    predictions (`list` of `int`): Predicted class labels.
    references (`list` of `int`): Actual class labels.
    labels (`list` of `int`): The set of labels to include when `average` is not set to `'binary'`. If `average` is `None`, it should be the label order. Labels present in the data can be excluded, for example to calculate a multiclass average ignoring a majority negative class. Labels not present in the data will result in 0 components in a macro average. For multilabel targets, labels are column indices. By default, all labels in `predictions` and `references` are used in sorted order. Defaults to None.
    pos_label (`int`): The class to be considered the positive class, in the case where `average` is set to `binary`. Defaults to 1.
    average (`string`): This parameter is required for multiclass/multilabel targets. If set to `None`, the scores for each class are returned. Otherwise, this determines the type of averaging performed on the data. Defaults to `'binary'`.

        - 'binary': Only report results for the class specified by `pos_label`. This is applicable only if the classes found in `predictions` and `references` are binary.
        - 'micro': Calculate metrics globally by counting the total true positives, false negatives and false positives.
        - 'macro': Calculate metrics for each label, and find their unweighted mean. This does not take label imbalance into account.
        - 'weighted': Calculate metrics for each label, and find their average weighted by support (the number of true instances for each label). This alters `'macro'` to account for label imbalance. This option can result in an F-score that is not between precision and recall.
        - 'samples': Calculate metrics for each instance, and find their average (only meaningful for multilabel classification).
    sample_weight (`list` of `float`): Sample weights Defaults to None.
    zero_division (`int` or `string`): Sets the value to return when there is a zero division. Defaults to 'warn'.

        - 0: Returns 0 when there is a zero division.
        - 1: Returns 1 when there is a zero division.
        - 'warn': Raises warnings and then returns 0 when there is a zero division.

Returns:
    precision (`float` or `array` of `float`): Precision score or list of precision scores, depending on the value passed to `average`. Minimum possible value is 0. Maximum possible value is 1. Higher values indicate that fewer negative examples were incorrectly labeled as positive, which means that, generally, higher scores are better.

Examples:

    Example 1-A simple binary example
        >>> precision_metric = evaluate.load("precision")
        >>> results = precision_metric.compute(references=[0, 1, 0, 1, 0], predictions=[0, 0, 1, 1, 0])
        >>> print(results)
        {'precision': 0.5}

    Example 2-The same simple binary example as in Example 1, but with `pos_label` set to `0`.
        >>> precision_metric = evaluate.load("precision")
        >>> results = precision_metric.compute(references=[0, 1, 0, 1, 0], predictions=[0, 0, 1, 1, 0], pos_label=0)
        >>> print(round(results['precision'], 2))
        0.67

    Example 3-The same simple binary example as in Example 1, but with `sample_weight` included.
        >>> precision_metric = evaluate.load("precision")
        >>> results = precision_metric.compute(references=[0, 1, 0, 1, 0], predictions=[0, 0, 1, 1, 0], sample_weight=[0.9, 0.5, 3.9, 1.2, 0.3])
        >>> print(results)
        {'precision': 0.23529411764705882}

    Example 4-A multiclass example, with different values for the `average` input.

    - `'binary'`: Only report results for the class specified by `pos_label`. This is applicable only if the target labels and predictions are binary.
    - `'micro'`: Calculate metrics globally by counting the total true positives, false negatives, and false positives.
    - `'macro'`: Calculate metrics for each label, and find their unweighted mean. This does not take label imbalance into account.
    - `'weighted'`: Calculate metrics for each label, and find their average weighted by support (the number of true instances for each label). This alters `'macro'` to account for label imbalance. Note that it can result in an F-score that is not between precision and recall.
    - `'samples'`: Calculate metrics for each instance, and find their average (only meaningful for multilabel classification).
- **sample_weight** (`list` of `float`): Sample weights Defaults to `None`.
- **zero_division** (): Sets the value to return when there is a zero division. Defaults to .
    - `'warn'`: If there is a zero division, the return value is `0`, but warnings are also raised.
    - `0`: If there is a zero division, the return value is `0`.
    - `1`: If there is a zero division, the return value is `1`.

Returns:
- **recall** (`float`, or `array` of `float`): Either the general recall score, or the recall scores for individual classes, depending on the values input to `labels` and `average`. Minimum possible value is 0. Maximum possible value is 1. A higher recall means that more of the positive examples have been labeled correctly. Therefore, a higher recall is generally considered better.

Examples:

    Example 1-A simple example with some errors
        >>> recall_metric = evaluate.load('recall')
        >>> results = recall_metric.compute(references=[0, 0, 1, 1, 1], predictions=[0, 1, 0, 1, 1])
        >>> print(results)
        {'recall': 0.6666666666666666}

    Example 2-The same example as Example 1, but with `pos_label=0` instead of the default `pos_label=1`.
        >>> recall_metric = evaluate.load('recall')
        >>> results = recall_metric.compute(references=[0, 0, 1, 1, 1], predictions=[0, 1, 0, 1, 1], pos_label=0)
        >>> print(results)
        {'recall': 0.5}

    Example 3-The same example as Example 1, but with `sample_weight` included.
        >>> recall_metric = evaluate.load('recall')
        >>> sample_weight = [0.9, 0.2, 0.9, 0.3, 0.8]
        >>> results = recall_metric.compute(references=[0, 0, 1, 1, 1], predictions=[0, 1, 0, 1, 1], sample_weight=sample_weight)
        >>> print(results)
        {'recall': 0.55}

    Example 4-A multiclass example, using different averages.
        >>> recall_metric = evaluate.load('recall')
        >>> predictions = [0, 2, 1, 0, 0, 1]
        >>> references = [0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2]
        >>> results = recall_metric.compute(predictions=predictions, references=references, average='macro')
        >>> print(results)
        {'recall': 0.3333333333333333}
        >>> results = recall_metric.compute(predictions=predictions, references=references, average='micro')
        >>> print(results)
        {'recall': 0.3333333333333333}
        >>> results = recall_metric.compute(predictions=predictions, references=references, average='weighted')
        >>> print(results)
        {'recall': 0.3333333333333333}
        >>> results = recall_metric.compute(predictions=predictions, references=references, average=None)
        >>> print(results)
        {'recall': array([1., 0., 0.])}

********************
```<|||||>So your metrics are not floats, but one ends up being a whole scikit-learn module, this is why you have the issue. The code you pasted is actually super weird:

```
def compute_metrics(eval_pred):
  accuracy = load("accuracy")
  precision = load("precision")
  f1 = load("f1")
  recall = load("recall")
  
  predictions, labels = eval_pred
  predictions = np.argmax(predictions, axis=1)
  
  accuracy.compute(predictions=predictions, references=labels)
  precision.compute(predictions=predictions, references=labels, average="micro")
  f1.compute(predictions=predictions, references=labels, average="micro")
  recall.compute(predictions=predictions, references=labels, average="micro")
  
  return {"accuracy": accuracy, "precision": precision, "f1": f1, "recall": recall}
```
You compute the results on predictions and labels but don't store it anywhere, instead you return the metric functions (from `evaluate` I guess?) and not the computed values.<|||||>Great catch! I modified `compute_metrics()` to run successfully without any warnings:
```python
def compute_metrics(eval_pred):
  accuracy = load("accuracy")
  precision = load("precision")
  f1 = load("f1")
  recall = load("recall")
  
  predictions, labels = eval_pred
  predictions = np.argmax(predictions, axis=1)
  
  
  accuracy_ = accuracy.compute(predictions=predictions, references=labels)["accuracy"]
  precision_ = precision.compute(predictions=predictions, references=labels, average="micro")["precision"]
  f1_ = f1.compute(predictions=predictions, references=labels, average="micro")["f1"]
  recall_ = recall.compute(predictions=predictions, references=labels, average="micro")["recall"]
  
  return {"accuracy": accuracy_, "precision": precision_, "f1": f1_, "recall": recall_}
```

However, it doesn't seem like the [results make sense](https://github.com/galenballew/bert-multiclass/blob/main/Screenshot%20from%202023-04-27%2009-35-44.png). That being said, the original issue is definitely no longer an issue. I really appreciate your help--thank you!
