Dataset wikipedia and Bookcorpusopen cannot be fetched from dataloader.
State: closed | Author: hobbitlzy (NONE)
Labels: name: bug

## Describe the bug
I have used the previous version of `transformers` and `datasets`. The dataset `wikipedia` can be successfully used. Recently, I upgrade them to the newest version and find it raises errors. I also tried other datasets. The `wikitext` works and the `bookcorpusopen` raises the same errors as `wikipedia`.

## Steps to reproduce the bug
Run the `run_mlm_no_trainer.py` and the given script on this [link](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/tree/master/examples/pytorch/language-modeling). Change the dataset from wikitext to wikipedia or bookcorpusopen. BTW, the library transformers is of version 4.11.3.

## Expected results
The data batchs are fetched from the data loader and train.

## Actual results
The first time to fetch data batch occurs error.

Comments: Hi ! I think this issue is more related to the `transformers` project. Could you open an issue on https://github.com/huggingface/transformers ?

Anyway I think the issue could be that both wikipedia and bookcorpusopen have an additional "title" column, contrary to wikitext which only has a "text" column. After calling `load_dataset`, can you try doing `dataset = dataset.remove_columns("title")` ?

Removing the "title" column works! Thanks for your advice.

Maybe I should still create an issue to `transformers' to mark this solution?
