        r""" Instantiates an encoder and a decoder from one or two base classes of the library from pre-trained model checkpoints.


        The model is set in evaluation mode by default using `model.eval()` (Dropout modules are deactivated)
        To train the model, you need to first set it back in training mode with `model.train()`

        Params:
            encoder_pretrained_model_name_or_path: information necessary to initiate the encoder. Either:

                - a string with the `shortcut name` of a pre-trained model to load from cache or download, e.g.: ``bert-base-uncased``.
                - a string with the `identifier name` of a pre-trained model that was user-uploaded to our S3, e.g.: ``dbmdz/bert-base-german-cased``.
                - a path to a `directory` containing model weights saved using :func:`~transformers.PreTrainedModel.save_pretrained`, e.g.: ``./my_model_directory/encoder``.
                - a path or url to a `tensorflow index checkpoint file` (e.g. `./tf_model/model.ckpt.index`). In this case, ``from_tf`` should be set to True and a configuration object should be provided as ``config`` argument. This loading path is slower than converting the TensorFlow checkpoint in a PyTorch model using the provided conversion scripts and loading the PyTorch model afterwards.

            decoder_pretrained_model_name_or_path: information necessary to initiate the decoder. Either:

                - a string with the `shortcut name` of a pre-trained model to load from cache or download, e.g.: ``bert-base-uncased``.
                - a string with the `identifier name` of a pre-trained model that was user-uploaded to our S3, e.g.: ``dbmdz/bert-base-german-cased``.
                - a path to a `directory` containing model weights saved using :func:`~transformers.PreTrainedModel.save_pretrained`, e.g.: ``./my_model_directory/decoder``.
                - a path or url to a `tensorflow index checkpoint file` (e.g. `./tf_model/model.ckpt.index`). In this case, ``from_tf`` should be set to True and a configuration object should be provided as ``config`` argument. This loading path is slower than converting the TensorFlow checkpoint in a PyTorch model using the provided conversion scripts and loading the PyTorch model afterwards.

            model_args: (`optional`) Sequence of positional arguments:
                All remaning positional arguments will be passed to the underlying model's ``__init__`` method

            config: (`optional`) instance of a class derived from :class:`~transformers.PretrainedConfig`:
                Configuration for the model to use instead of an automatically loaded configuation. Configuration can be automatically loaded when:

                - the model is a model provided by the library (loaded with the ``shortcut-name`` string of a pretrained model), or
                - the model was saved using :func:`~transformers.PreTrainedModel.save_pretrained` and is reloaded by suppling the save directory.
                - the model is loaded by suppling a local directory as ``pretrained_model_name_or_path`` and a configuration JSON file named `config.json` is found in the directory.

            state_dict: (`optional`) dict:
                an optional state dictionnary for the model to use instead of a state dictionary loaded from saved weights file.
                This option can be used if you want to create a model from a pretrained configuration but load your own weights.
                In this case though, you should check if using :func:`~transformers.PreTrainedModel.save_pretrained` and :func:`~transformers.PreTrainedModel.from_pretrained` is not a simpler option.

            cache_dir: (`optional`) string:
                Path to a directory in which a downloaded pre-trained model
                configuration should be cached if the standard cache should not be used.

            force_download: (`optional`) boolean, default False:
                Force to (re-)download the model weights and configuration files and override the cached versions if they exists.

            proxies: (`optional`) dict, default None:
                A dictionary of proxy servers to use by protocol or endpoint, e.g.: {'http': 'foo.bar:3128', 'http://hostname': 'foo.bar:4012'}.
                The proxies are used on each request.

            output_loading_info: (`optional`) boolean:
                Set to ``True`` to also return a dictionnary containing missing keys, unexpected keys and error messages.

            kwargs: (`optional`) Remaining dictionary of keyword arguments.
                Can be used to update the configuration object (after it being loaded) and initiate the model. (e.g. ``output_attention=True``). Behave differently depending on whether a `config` is provided or automatically loaded:

                - If a configuration is provided with ``config``, ``**kwargs`` will be directly passed to the underlying model's ``__init__`` method (we assume all relevant updates to the configuration have already been done)
                - If a configuration is not provided, ``kwargs`` will be first passed to the configuration class initialization function (:func:`~transformers.PretrainedConfig.from_pretrained`). Each key of ``kwargs`` that corresponds to a configuration attribute will be used to override said attribute with the supplied ``kwargs`` value. Remaining keys that do not correspond to any configuration attribute will be passed to the underlying model's ``__init__`` function.

                You can specify kwargs sepcific for the encoder and decoder by prefixing the key with `encoder_` and `decoder_` respectively. (e.g. ``decoder_output_attention=True``). The remaining kwargs will be passed to both encoders and decoders.

        )

        # The distinction between encoder and decoder at the model level is made
        # by the value of the flag `is_decoder` that we need to set correctly.
