I finetuned the Xlm/roberta and got its .ckpt file. But I am unable to load these check points for testing. While loading, I am getting errors like this:  
‘XLMRobertaModel’ object has no attribute ‘load\_from\_checkpoint.’

I am using this code to load the checkpoint.

from transformers import AutoTokenizer  
model\_checkpoint = ‘deepset/xlm-roberta-base-squad2’  
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from\_pretrained(model\_checkpoint)

from transformers import AutoModelForQuestionAnswering  
model = AutoModelForQuestionAnswering.from\_pretrained(model\_checkpoint)

chk\_pth="/content/drive/MyDrive/Russian-QA/epoch=18-step=53826.ckpt"  
model2=model.load\_from\_checkpoint(chk\_pth)

kindly help me to sort out the slolution

I’m not sure where you have seen the `load_from_checkpoint` method but it does not exist in Transformers. Same for the `.ckpt` file, it’s not something generated from our side.
