## Information

Model I am using (Bert, XLNet ...): Wav2Vec2

The problem arises when using:
* [x] the official example scripts: https://huggingface.co/blog/fine-tune-xlsr-wav2vec2
* [ ] my own modified scripts: (give details below)

The tasks I am working on is:
* [ ] an official GLUE/SQUaD task: (give the name)
* [x] my own task or dataset: (give details below) Adapting https://huggingface.co/blog/fine-tune-xlsr-wav2vec2 to French Commonvoice

## Description

I'm quite surprised to get this error, when I succeeded the complete first evaluation loop (it was at the second one). 

Maybe some elements are stored in memory (I have 32GB RAM) without needing it ?
I put the option
```
eval_accumulation_steps=20
```
in my TrainingArguments because else I got CUDA Memory Errors, this is the only relevant modification I made from the example code. 
To properly compute the metrics, the evaluation loop stores all the prediction in a NumPy array. It looks like your evaluation dataset is very large, so you should use evaluate/predict on smaller subsets then save those predictions to disk.<|||||>Thank you. I think I will make my own evaluation loop to compute metrics regularly, keep the word error rate and  the word number  (to compute average) and store only those metrics instead of the predictions, in order to save memory. <|||||>This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity.
