Issue: Error when calculating glue score
State: closed

I was trying glue score along with other metrics here. But glue gives me this error;

```
import nlp
glue_metric = nlp.load_metric('glue',name="cola")

glue_score = glue_metric.compute(predictions, references)
```

```

I'm not sure whether I'm doing this wrong or whether it's an issue. I would like to know a workaround. Thank you.

The glue metric for cola is a metric for classification. It expects label ids as integers as inputs.

I want to evaluate a sentence pair whether they are semantically equivalent, so I used MRPC and it gives the same error, does that mean we have to encode the sentences and parse as input?

using BertTokenizer;
```
encoded_reference=tokenizer.encode(reference, add_special_tokens=False)
encoded_prediction=tokenizer.encode(prediction, add_special_tokens=False)
```

`glue_score = glue_metric.compute(encoded_prediction, encoded_reference)`
```

MRPC is also a binary classification task, so its metric is a binary classification metric.

To evaluate if pairs of sentences are semantically equivalent, maybe you could take a look at models that compute if one sentence entails the other or not (typically the kinds of model that could work well on the MRPC task).

Closing this one. Feel free to re-open if you have other questions :)
