I am using Hubert SER model. I would like to save the model after it’s been trained.  
But I get an error message:

File “SER\_Hubert.py”, line 311, in   
Trainer.save\_model(“/…path…/”)  
File “/home/…lib/python3.8/site-packages/transformers/trainer.py”, line 2801, in save\_model  
output\_dir = self.args.output\_dir  
AttributeError: ‘str’ object has no attribute ‘args’

The line 2801 in the ‘trainer.py’ is:

if output\_dir is None:  
output\_dir = self.args.output\_dir

I am using Transformers 4.35.2

Could anyone help me resolve this issue? Please 🙄?  
Thanks!
