How to monitor both train and validation metrics at the same step?

hey @Mariam, as described in the docs for TrainingArguments you may also need to configure eval_steps in addition to evaluation_strategy.

for example to evaluate every 100 steps with run_qa.py you could try the following:

python run_qa.py \
  --model_name_or_path bert-base-uncased \
  --dataset_name squad \
  --do_train \
  --do_eval \
  --per_device_train_batch_size 12 \
  --learning_rate 3e-5 \
  --num_train_epochs 2 \
  --max_seq_length 384 \
  --doc_stride 128 \
  --output_dir /tmp/debug_squad/ \
  --evaluation_strategy steps \
  --eval_steps 100

by default, the trainer will evaluate every 500 steps (the value of loggin_steps) if eval_steps is not specified
