Training an LM with adaptive inputs

First, see the general language modeling README for instructions on preprocessing the WikiText-103 data.

Then use the following training command to train a model with adaptive inputs using the transformer_lm_wiki103 model architecture:

fairseq-train --task language_modeling \
    data-bin/wikitext-103 \
    --save-dir checkpoints/transformer_wikitext-103 \
    --arch transformer_lm_wiki103 \
    --max-update 286000 --lr 1.0 --t-mult 2 --lr-period-updates 270000 --lr-scheduler cosine --lr-shrink 0.75 \
    --warmup-updates 16000 --warmup-init-lr 1e-07 --stop-min-lr 1e-09 --optimizer nag --min-lr 0.0001 --clip-norm 0.1 \
    --criterion adaptive_loss --max-tokens 3072 --update-freq 3 --tokens-per-sample 3072 --seed 1 \
    --sample-break-mode none --skip-invalid-size-inputs-valid-test --ddp-backend=legacy_ddp
