v2.3.1

[epwalsh]

What's new

Added 🎉

• Added support for the HuggingFace Hub as an alternative way to handle loading files through cached_path(). Hub downloads should be made through the hf:// URL scheme.
• Add new dimension to the interpret module: influence functions via the InfluenceInterpreter base class, along with a concrete implementation: SimpleInfluence.
• Added a quiet parameter to the MultiProcessDataLoading that disables Tqdm progress bars.
• The test for distributed metrics now takes a parameter specifying how often you want to run it.

Changed ⚠️

• Updated CONTRIBUTING.md to remind reader to upgrade pip setuptools to avoid spaCy installation issues.

Fixed ✅

• Fixed a bug with the ShardedDatasetReader when used with multi-process data loading (Multiprocess Data Loader with num_workers > 0 throws error about token_indexers already being applied #5132).
