Hi, maybe a stupid question but I cant find the answer ether in Doc or on Google.

In these examples [notebooks/text\_classification.ipynb at master · huggingface/notebooks · GitHub](https://github.com/huggingface/notebooks/blob/master/examples/text_classification.ipynb)  
the datasets contain a test set, but the examples finished after how to train and evaluate(on validation set if I understand it correctly).

But how about test set? Is there a convenient way to test it on test set? Like the one line command for trainer.evaluate().

Thanks.

`trainer.evaluate` takes a dataset, so you can pass the test split if you want to evaluate on the test set.  
Or there is `trainer.predict` if you just want the predictions.
